The @NYTimes featured a study from the lab of Jack Costello, Ph.D. of PC Biology on how the unicellular organism Stentor feeds more efficiently when working together, modeling how conditions in the environment led to the evolution of multicellular life. nytimes.com/2025/03/31/sci…

Another fantastic study on multicellularity, this time from my buddy Alex Bisson! Congratulations Alex! Bravo 👏👏

✨Thrilled to be featured in The New York Times! The New York Times Fantastic piece by JackTamisiea on our discovery of the role of physical forces in evolution! With insightful comments from Will Ratcliff! Read the feature ✨🔗 nytimes.com/2025/03/31/sci…



🎉🎉We’re on the cover of Nature Physics!! Here is the original paper nature.com/articles/s4156…



Super excited to share our latest work on visualising actin networks through ultrastructure expansion microscopy. A major leap towards high-resolution visualisation of the actin cytoskeleton. Grateful to Saravanan Palani and Anubhav Dhar for giving me this opportunity!
