Julian Wittische recently took part in a data challenge and summer school on software and statistical methods for population genetics, in Aussois, France. Participants analyzed simulated and empirical datasets with the objective of finding adaptive loci using the different state-of-the-art software introduced by the authors of the packages themselves.

Julian teamed up with Florian Privé (@privefl - https://twitter.com/privefl) and they made it to the data challenge podium as the top student team! A well-organized, challenging and instructive summer school!
