Looking to hire a post-doc interested in disease ecology/evolution, population genetics, and biodiversity. Please get in touch if you are interested in joining the King Lab! zoology.ubc.ca/kinglab/ UBC Science UBC Zoology UBC Dept of Microbiology and Immunology

Rare opportunity to join my team, as the PLOS Biology in-house editorial team is growing! It's a great team in a great journal, if I say so myself 😆 Please reach out if your have Qs & apply if interested!! UK or US; assoc or senior Please RT us241.dayforcehcm.com/CandidatePorta…

We recently preprinted our meta-analysis of spatial and social behaviour in wild animal systems! Have a read if you're interested in density dependence, disease transmission, network scaling and structuring, or comparative behavioural work: doi.org/10.1101/2024.0… (1/4)

It's true, cleaned up my bench today after a memorable 6.5 years in the Michael Baym lab! Very excited to start my own lab next month at the NYSDOH Wadsworth Center doing public health adjacent basic research exploring "exotic" bacteriophages!! #newpi

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 (Geoff Wild). #Evol2024

Undergrad Liya Miksovsky (Mon, 5:45-8:15PM, 220 DE) will present her work with Asher Leeks demonstrating the evolution of social cheating in M13, which was underlain by an unexpected genetic cause🧬.

Finally, Posdoc Asher Leeks (Tues, 4:45-5PM, 520D) is discussing his recent theoretical work that explores the dynamics of social cheating during viral infection. His model suggests that viral social interactions may shape human disease outcomes more than previously thought 😷.

Awesome opportunity to work on influenza reassortment with an exceptionally supportive mentor - as a postdoc or as a research technician.

Viruses aren’t just free-floating saboteurs. A burgeoning field has uncovered complex viral social behaviors including cheating, cooperation and other collective choreography. quantamagazine.org/viruses-finall…

Time to announce: I’ve just started a position as an Assistant Professor in Zoology (Animal Behaviour) at Trinity College Dublin School of Natural Sciences, Trinity College Dublin ! The lab’s gonna work on integrative studies of social and spatial behaviour and their effects on disease dynamics. Can’t wait.

Very happy to have this one published in nature today!! 🤩🤩 Can we dig deeper into the intricate and ancient evolutionary history of the flaviviridae by comparing not only genetic sequence but also protein structure? answer is yes!! nature.com/articles/s4158…

I'll be speaking about viral sociality at TEDxNewEngland on Wednesday 25th September, alongside a great lineup of other speakers. List of speakers & tickets here for anyone in the Boston area who might want to come: tedxnewengland.com/speakers #TEDxNE #SocialViruses #LoveVirology

Meet #TEDxNE Mind+Life conference speaker Asher Leeks! Asher is an incoming assistant professor of evolutionary biology at the University of British Columbia who studies social evolution in viruses. Asher will speak during conference session 2: LIFE at our inaugural event on 9/25: bit.ly/3Aw8ABy
