This year’s medicine laureates Victor Ambros and Gary Ruvkun studied a relatively unassuming 1 mm long roundworm, C. elegans. Despite its small size, C. elegans possesses many specialised cell types such as nerve and muscle cells also found in larger, more complex animals, making it a useful model for investigating how tissues develop and mature in multicellular organisms. Read how the 2024 medicine laureates’ investigations into C. elegans revealed an entirely new dimension to gene regulation: bit.ly/4dlPE6f #NobelPrize

*New Special Feature in Proc B* There is much to be learned by considering the origins of different forms of evolutionary conflicts side-by-side, comparing mechanisms that evolved to resolve them, and how different fields have studied such processes. Lots of great papers!🧵

Beyond Haldane’s rule: Sex-biased hybrid dysfunction for all modes of sex determination

A broad and inclusive view of sex biases in hybrid dysfunction, irrespective of sexual system, expands the reach of Haldane's rule to help characterize the underlying forces and mechanisms responsi...

There have been many conversations about leadership and challenges of tokenism and glass cliffs. Thought I'd share my thoughts here. Anyone else struggling with these issues? Shifting to the outside: Why racialized leaders choose to walk away linkedin.com/pulse/shifting-…

Shifting to the outside: Why racialized leaders choose to walk away

I recently wrote about ‘the tapestry’ of systemic racism and how it manifests in forms that allow a tight focus on each individual thread rather than seeing the overall pattern. I am gratified that...
