Transmitting Science

📣 Registration is now open for the course Introduction to Macroevolutionary Analyses Using Phylogenies.

Join us to explore how phylogenetic trees can be used to investigate large-scale evolutionary patterns and processes across lineages and through time.

Participants will also gain practical experience using phylogenetic methods to study diversification, trait evolution and the history of biodiversity.

📣 Registration is now open for the course Introduction to Machine Learning in R.

Join us to discover the fundamentals of machine learning and how these methods can be applied to research questions using R. Together, we'll explore key concepts, workflows and practical techniques for building predictive models.

Participants will also learn how to prepare data, train and evaluate models, and interpret machine learning results with confidence.

📣 Registration is now open for the course Practical SQL for Research and Data Science.

Join us to explore how SQL can simplify the way we organise, query and manage research data. We'll work through practical examples and discover how databases can make research workflows more efficient.

Participants will also gain hands-on experience writing SQL queries, filtering and combining datasets, and applying database skills to real research scenarios.

Last days to enrol! 🚨 Two short live online courses to boost your R skills for biodiversity, ecology and biogeography research:

🔹 Species occurrence data download and cleaning with R
21 & 23 September
This interactive course teaches how to import, clean and standardise species occurrence data in R, address taxonomic and spatial biases, and prepare high-quality datasets for ecological and biogeographical analyses.

🔹 Environmental variables: how to download and process them with R
28 & 30 September
Join this course to learn how to import, process and harmonise environmental variable maps in R for ecological and biogeographical analyses, covering resolution adjustment, data extraction and converting categorical data.

Perfect for researchers, PhD students and professionals in life and earth sciences who want robust, reproducible workflows in R.

This summer, we opened applications for fee waivers and awarded six to early-career researchers from South Africa, India, Spain, and Peru — a small way to support access to training across different corners of the scientific community. Thank you to everyone who applied, and congratulations to our six awardees!

Missed out, or want to apply again? There will be another round later this year — we'll post the dates here as soon as they're confirmed.

Mapas y operaciones espaciales (SIG) con R

Los datos espaciales pueden ayudarnos a comprender mejor la distribución de las especies, identificar patrones ecológicos y responder preguntas que serían difíciles de abordar de otro modo.

En este curso aprenderemos a trabajar con datos geográficos en R, crear mapas y realizar operaciones y análisis espaciales con herramientas SIG de forma práctica y reproducible. 🌍📊
