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

New preprint on Evolution of Menopause - mathematical model and multi-species comparison - led us to the Mama’s Boy Hypothesis 🐒🐋🐘 biorxiv.org/content/10.64898…

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.

I've written a 1-page journal club article for @NatureRevGenet on the reduction principle

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.

biorxiv.org/content/10.1101/… @GiliGreenbaum A new interactive repository that will improve evaluation and dissemination of model results. Accepts models in multiple languages, but requires no programming knowledge to run/distribute model analyses. Want your models to be accessible?

"Differential application of cultural practices at the family and individual level may alter heritability estimates" @orenkolodny Feldman Lotem @yoavram discuss culture clustering w/in families, vertical transmitted & confounded w/ genes. Link un/masking & niche construction. 15/
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.

work with @adsurbum and @UriObolski
Looking for a PhD student to join my lab @TelAvivUni.
We study evolution, ecology & cultural evolution with math, comp, stats, and machine-learning & collaborations with empirical biologists

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

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.
New paper with @KaledaDenton and Marc Feldman on the *evolution of altruism under conformity and content-biased cultural transmission*.

So the 3rd meeting of the Israeli Society for Evolutionary Biology (ISEB!) will be at @WeizmannScience, Dec 29-30 2021, with Keynotes by @DunhamLab & @PetrovADmitri
Registration is free but required, abstracts are now accepted, see details iseb.org.il

We are pleased to announce our 5 Plenary Speakers for PopGroup 55➡️@tomrconnor, @ScottVEdwards1, @marakat, @EvaStukenbrock and @alexander_suh.
You can now see an early programme at:
populationgeneticsgroup.org.…
@cardiffuni / @HarvardOEB / @sangerinstitute / @MPI_EvolBio / @biouea
We used ABC and a recent neural-network alternative to infer evolutionary parameters from population-level frequency trajectories.
Excited by this new research by @nyuniversity doctoral candidate @Grace_Avecilla in collaboration with @yoavram using simulation and machine learning to infer rates and fitness effects of adaptive mutations: biorxiv.org/content/10.1101/…

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're pleased to announce the selected performers for our $55M Delta Tissue (ΔT) program.

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