dear Bryan, I was wondering if it could be of use to many if you added a new option in the differentialTest function that allows for parallel computing of taxon associations.

I know that in principle you could parallelize single-taxon association (something like parallel::mclapply(bbdml( taxon_i ~ ...)), but a user would have to specify formulas, call for the parallel job and also merge data manually, while this way it would be very lazy user-friendly (like I am ;) )
