Cuboidal cell packing is a common yet understudied route to multicellularity. In work led by Rozenn Pineau and g_ozan_bozdag, we explore its origin as a multicellular geometry capable of supporting a transition in individuality using fission yeast. biorxiv.org/content/10.110…

🔴 New preprint 🔴 This one is the first with someone from my lab as an author! We used previously identified metabolic rules to predict microbial community assembly along a temperature gradient (1/12). biorxiv.org/content/10.110…

Listening to the inspiring Melanie Massey about the Diversity of Nature and the joy and meaning of empowering BIPOC to engage in science through workshops and camps for youth.

Are you interested in spatial structure, microbes, multi-level selection, or community-level directed evolution? I am hiring a postdoc to use community-level selection to study spatial dynamics in microbes. Within that theme, there is tons of freedom

Tom Booker (find me on Bluesky) and I are looking for a postdoc interested in the genomics of local adaptation. We hope to harness better information from gene genealogies in genotype environment associations.

Please see docs.google.com/document/d/1iL… for more info. See me at or email.

Hi folks, we have a new preprint out on the , examining the molecular basis of multicellular evolution. We found that an ancient protein folding system, Hsp90, can be tuned to drive rapid convergent multicellular evolution. 1/24

And now with a more accurate title! Also a gift link, so it should not be behind a paywall.

I’m delighted that our paper on the Multicellularity Long Term Evolution Experiment (MuLTEE) has, at long last, been published. This paper establishes the foundations of what I’d like to work on for the rest of my career. 1/25
