Finally, Posdoc @AsherLeeks (Tues, 4:45-5PM, 520D) is discussing his recent theoretical work that explores the dynamics of social cheating during viral infection. His model suggests that viral social interactions may shape human disease outcomes more than previously thought 😷.

Undergrad Liya Miksovsky (Mon, 5:45-8:15PM, 220 DE) will present her work with @AsherLeeks demonstrating the evolution of social cheating in M13, which was underlain by an unexpected genetic cause🧬.
