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 (https://t.co/2oEckDqh4i) 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.

A brief summary:

https://t.co/Zf0B76Vign @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?

[Michael Muthukrishna @mmuthukrishna]

"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

[Yoav Ram @yoavram]

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!

@_RafaelVentura_ @akcayerol @garicgymro Thanks @_RafaelVentura_ it was a fun!

[Rafael Ventura @_RafaelVentura_]

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.

[Yoav Ram @yoavram]

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

@OdedRechavi all your band are belong to us

[Yoav Ram @yoavram]

We used ABC and a recent neural-network alternative to infer evolutionary parameters from population-level frequency trajectories.

[Gresham Lab @djjgresham]

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: https://t.co/R8KGvTvGjH

@HarmitMalik so pickled is not fermented? you just put it in vinegar?

[Assaf Zaritsky @AssafZaritsky]

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!
