Hey man, good to see you again
Well, I've always fancied those who get the chance to learn and try out Next Generation Sequencing, whereas we are still stuck with the "conventional" methods T_T And of course all those biomedical and applied sciences which are often deemed more "valuable" research than what phylogeneticists are doing   
I only know how to use the program haha, I have no idea how the underlying statistics for Bayesian Inference works XD
And I've also no idea how to use R too... I only know how to do some very simple statistics on R. The rest is just to complicated.. I prefer programs with a more user-friendly interface 

Yeap, phylogenetics, DNA barcoding and a little bit of tissue culture 
R is hard to use yo because of its command-style input system. Though many of the experts claim that it does offer much, much more flexibility once you get the hang of it (which I never did) 

Ahh, you mean command batches? haha
Pretty handy stuffs~
But I'm using other bioinfo programs that are more user-friendly than R at the emoment la haha

Wah, good to know that there are also people doing phylogenetics here.
My research is more on lab work and phylogenetic inference. No programming and stuffs haha, don't know anything about those 

Like we are fascinated by the origin of the universe, together, the age-, size-, or stage-specific patterns of development, growth, maturation, reproduction, survival, and lifespan define an organism's life cycle, its life history. Perhaps in the process of studying the evolutionary relatedness, you will find a more compelling reason for why understanding life history evolution is as important as biomedical and applied sciences.
