Why do tumors have so many nonstem cancer cells when only stem cells can propagate them? Our study uses evolutionary models to explore this paradox, suggesting that some tumors may have functional division of labor: #CancerResearch #EvolutionaryBiology onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/full/10.11…

When I’m in Reykjavik, I always stop by my favorite coffee house. Turns out I’ll be there April 10th, and I’m bringing the Apocalypse Roadshow! 6PM at Hüs Máls Og Menningar, in the heart of downtown! Featuring my book, live music and survival wisdom for wild times Apocalypse Roadshow

Sponges can survive 60,000 human chest X-rays without developing cancer. Our study shows that Tethya wilhelma is incredibly radioresistant—hinting at powerful, ancient mechanisms for DNA repair & cancer resistance.Could sponges unlock new cancer therapies? mdpi.com/2079-7737/14/2…

Lack of cancer in sponges: One study shows very different response to radiation damage to DNA, simplicity of tissues might also help. they can rearrange tissues months after damage. Also some survey of cancer in other simple inverts. Curious stuff.

1. The Santa Barbara school of evolutionary psychology holds that a universal set of complex psychological adaptations evolved in Pleistocene Africa. In no particular order, here are few folks on here doing research in this tradition, highlighting one paper/thread each:🧵

Excited to keynote at ITUniversity of Toronto Transforming Tomorrow conference @UofT this Thursday! Amid pandemics, climate change & AI advances, many doubt our resilience. Yet history shows humans repeatedly adapt to existential threats. Join me at 2:30pm to explore how: conference2025.its.utoronto.ca/schedule/speak…

I thought I was extremely lucky - then, a flicker. Something floated up from my subconscious: My mom’s autopsy report.  In honor of Mother’s Day week, my essay about the secret my mom took with her to the grave, and how learning it changed my life. transformationnarratives.com/blog/2020/05/2…

“We think there are all these resources that will magically swoop in and solve all our problems, but in a disaster, local emergency preparedness systems can quickly get maxed out.” Interview by Oprah Daily about making an emergency go-bag. Read it here! oprahdaily.com/life/wholeness…

A few months ago, we gathered for the Apocalypse Roadshow: a night of expert insight, music, and community voices. Big thanks to our panelists and everyone who shared stories, songs, and survival ideas. Connection is preparedness.

Our paper highlights the power & complexity of cancer heterogeneity: we analyzed 1,165 tumor exomes across 12 cancer types using EXPANDS & PyClone. 86% of tumors had ≥2 clones. Intratumor heterogeneity is the rule, not the exception. #CancerResearch nature.com/articles/nm.39…

Excited to be featured in Templeton Ideas - the article dives into my work on cooperation, risk sharing, and why we need to teach collaboration as a core human skill. templeton.org/news/houston-w… #Cooperation #RiskSharing
