How is evolution like sharing a pizza? Tom Scott and I answer that deep (dish) question in our new Proc B paper. We use the zero-sum nature of evolution to develop inclusive-fitness models. Check it out at https://t.co/3EpaZWOskY

Clear scientific writing is important, but don't take my word for it. Check out this Stated Clearly video or, better yet, grab a copy of the book by @queensoxbiology and @StuWest8 published by Oxford U Press https://t.co/kEDfn2mgk8

Can you believe that people carry a genetically diverse patchwork of cells? Wonder why this might have evolved? Have a look at new work authored by yours truly and the amazing Francisco Ubeda in #ProcB @westernuMath @westernuScience @RHULBioSci

Check out the new work arising from MSc thesis of @GeorgeShillco Thanks also to Francisco Ubeda @Rhulbio for his help with the project. @westernuScience @westernuMath
Pathogens that transmit from parent to offspring through the germline can trigger an evolutionary arms race with their host, leading to more severe disease outcomes: https://t.co/rmQGJ8DkXg Now in @EvolLetters by @GeorgeShillco, Francisco Úbeda, and @geoffwild

The ups and downs of cheating. Thanks to @PapilioMing and @StuWest8 for the hard work. @westernuMath @westernuScience
Why does the proportion of cheats sometimes oscillate and in other cases remain static? A new paper in @EvolLetters analyzes this question and discusses prior seemingly contradictory theoretical results: https://t.co/0IfIV1fBYS By @PapilioMing, @geoffwild, and @StuWest8

Very excited to share our latest work on oscillating dynamics in cheat ratios!! We generalised previous results, systematically reviewed past theories, and suggested some experimental designs. https://t.co/ZK0pd7yihL
