En route to NYC to participate in this symposium! Looking forward to a day of excellent talks.

Also at #APSMarchMeeting - check out the Physical Biology of Guided Migration session on Monday - the idea here is to think about physical factors in migration throughout biology. Emiliano Perez Ipina has put together a really nice session!

Where does physics meet biology? In organisms ranging from tardigrades to jumping spiders, the Nirody lab studies how interacting with complex environments—especially through physical movement—impacts behavior and evolution. Read more on our blog: biologicalsciences.uchicago.edu/news/biophysic…

This week, Jasmine Nirody shares how studying snake movements inspired her to become an organismal and integrative #biologist at the UChiPhysicalSciences rather than pursuing a career as a medical doctor. bit.ly/3Nn1lNE #TheCoursePodcast #Physics #Biology #Biophysics #Biomechanics

Our study on fungal zoospores swimming pattern is out in Current Biology! This study came from one simple question: Do all chytrid zoospores have the same swimming behavior? (No, they don’t!) doi.org/10.1016/j.cub.… 👇

🧵 Exciting news! Our paper, "Microbial colonization programs are structured by breastfeeding and guide healthy respiratory development," is out today in Cell ! 🎉 Amazing collaboration with Prof. Meghan Azad, PhD and CHILD Cohort Study cell.com/cell/fulltext/…

Even a fungus has to move around sometimes. Research by Luis Javier Galindo and Jasmine Nirody looks at how different movement patterns of zoosporic fungi are affected by their cellular structures biologicalsciences.uchicago.edu/news/zoosporic…

The University of Chicago has two faculty searches that should interest evolutionary biologists/geneticists. A fantastic university with lots of strong colleagues across departments.
