How often should cells switch between mutator and non-mutator phenotypes if they want to quickly cross fitness valleys? Answer in this new preprint with Gabriela Lobinka and Tzachi Pilpel biorxiv.org/content/10.110…

Super excited to be among those selected and looking forward to working together with the other performers toward achieving ΔTissue ambitious goal of building a ‘tissue time machine’ platform for integrated predictive modeling of key cell and tissue states and transitions!

We used ABC and a recent neural-network alternative to infer evolutionary parameters from population-level frequency trajectories.

So the 3rd meeting of the Israeli Society for Evolutionary Biology (ISEB!) will be at Weizmann Institute, Dec 29-30 2021, with Keynotes by Maitreya Dunham & Dmitri Petrov Registration is free but required, abstracts are now accepted, see details iseb.org.il #ISEB2021

Great talk by Yoav Ram on the co-evolutionary puzzle of social assortment and cooperation! Assortment favors the cultural evolution of cooperation but assortment itself can't evolve. Happy that @akcayerol, Gareth Roberts, and I could host you at the SCEW seminar today.

New paper with Kaleda Denton and Marc Feldman on the *evolution of altruism under conformity and content-biased cultural transmission*. doi.org/10.1016/j.tpb.…

Our school is recruiting two PIs for a TT position, joint affiliation with the Museum. As a newcomer, I highly recommend it!

Looking for a PhD student to join my lab Tel Aviv University. We study evolution, ecology & cultural evolution with math, comp, stats, and machine-learning & collaborations with empirical biologists yoavram.com

New paper out: we inferred the effective start date of NPIs (lockdowns) during the first wave; we found mostly late but also early start dates; and that the impact of NPIs can be under-estimated when it is late. doi.org/10.1016/j.ijid… work with Ilia Kohanovski and Uri Obolski

Very glad this paper with SternLab @sternadi.bsky.social is out (and now I'm re-tweeting instead of doing the proofs :) Neural posterior estimation is a very strong approach to simulation based Bayesian inference.

I've written a 1-page journal club article for Nature Reviews Genetics on the reduction principle rdcu.be/dBKgL #popgen

PhD and Postdoc positions available! Interested in how our immune system evolves with a growing tumour, and how we can use that to fight cancer? Love data analysis? Applications now being accepted in the Machado Lab (machado-lab.org/contact) at the University of Cambridge.
