Stuck for Christmas shopping ideas? Who wouldn't want to find Rosemary Grant's memoir under the tree? Read my review in Bioscience out this week tinyurl.com/m92tr7w9

Tom Scott (not on Twitter) is also presenting a poster "Kin-discriminating partner choice promotes the evolution of helping" (Mon, 17:30, poster board G1)--a collaboration with Geoff Wild (@geoffwild). #Evol2024

There’s still a few weeks (and a #evol2024 meeting) to go, but save the date for our next @eseb_org STN meeting.
Tune in on August 13 to hear @geoffwild and @SteffiKapsetaki!
7pm Eastern (23:00 UTC).

Our lab has a postdoc position available for a collaborative project with @WesternU @StanfordBrain @salkinstitute @UCSDJacobs, bringing together theory with neural data.
I'll be at our SfN posters tomorrow afternoon to discuss: bit.ly/47oiO23 bit.ly/3Qw9hz3

How is evolution like sharing a pizza? Tom Scott and I answer that deep (dish) question in our new Proc B paper. We use the zero-sum nature of evolution to develop inclusive-fitness models. Check it out at doi.org/10.1098/rspb.2023.13… @westernuMath @OxfordBiology

I'm recruiting a PhD student for Fall 2024! If you're interested evolution, behavuory, math and computing just DM me!
Calling all students thinking about graduate degrees in Biology! Our department @ukybiology is hosting a Virtual Open House on Friday, October 27th, 11 am-1 pm EST. To learn more and to register for the event visit: biograd.as.uky.edu
Clear scientific writing is important, but don't take my word for it. Check out this Stated Clearly video or, better yet, grab a copy of the book by @queensoxbiology and @StuWest8 published by Oxford U Press

Congratulations to @AsgharGhorbanpo, winner of our Faculty's Award of Excellence for Outreach. Outreach is builds engagement and shows how higher-ed enriches our lives. @westernuMath Western News - Western prof brings math alive through outreach (westernu.ca)
Can you believe that people carry a genetically diverse patchwork of cells? Wonder why this might have evolved? Have a look at new work authored by yours truly and the amazing Francisco Ubeda in #ProcB @westernuMath @westernuScience @RHULBioSci
#Microchimerism as a source of information on future #pregnancies #ProcB #OpenAccess ow.ly/VOmG50PCLFb #Evolution @geoffwild
Check out the new work arising from MSc thesis of @GeorgeShillco Thanks also to Francisco Ubeda @Rhulbio for his help with the project. @westernuScience @westernuMath
Pathogens that transmit from parent to offspring through the germline can trigger an evolutionary arms race with their host, leading to more severe disease outcomes:

Now in @EvolLetters by @GeorgeShillco, Francisco Úbeda, and @geoffwild

The ups and downs of cheating. Thanks to @PapilioMing and @StuWest8 for the hard work. @westernuMath @westernuScience
Why does the proportion of cheats sometimes oscillate and in other cases remain static? A new paper in @EvolLetters analyzes this question and discusses prior seemingly contradictory theoretical results:

Very excited to share our latest work on oscillating dynamics in cheat ratios!! We generalised previous results, systematically reviewed past theories, and suggested some experimental designs. academic.oup.com/evlett/adva…
@StuWest8 @geoffwild
You can check out a pre-recorded version of my #Evol2023 talk on the Evolution Meetings YouTube channel. Based on work with Francisco Ubeda and led by @GeorgeShillco
