Now

What I'm doing at the moment

A now page — a snapshot of what has my attention, kept honest by being dated. Last updated July 2026, from Uppsala.

  • Finishing a Bayesian phylogenetic analysis of the Arawan family — the long-promised paper, slowly becoming real.
  • Rebuilding this site by hand, in Python and Pandoc, as a small act of ownership.
  • Releasing the backlog: asymcat, freqprob, row2vec and friends are finally leaving the “almost done” drawer.
  • Thinking about how LLM coding agents fit into careful research work — skeptically, and in public.
  • Reading Auerbach’s Mimesis again, at the pace real life allows.

If any of this overlaps with what you are doing, write to me.
