Our new paper in @MolBioEvol suggests that #aneuploidy can be an *evolutionary diversion* on the path to adaptation rather than a stepping stone.

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.

Last paper of PhD!
Cooperative hunting may help predators hunt prey they can't catch alone, but how does a rare cooperative hunter find a partner? I studied this dilemma with Marc Feldman and @yoavram.

Very glad this paper with @SternLab 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.

New paper alert about my favourite virus... the MS2 phage! This time we evolved MS2 to figure out how fast it evolves (hint - rapidly!) using deep learning . Beautiful work with @yoavram, @itush6, Moran Meir, @NadavB3nnun, @reemaburass.

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.

Great talk by @yoavram 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, @garicgymro, and I could host you at the SCEW seminar today.

How often should cells switch between mutator and non-mutator phenotypes if they want to quickly cross fitness valleys?
