We have a new preprint, showing that living systems can entangle in ways non-living systems can’t. In non-living systems, entanglement only occurs under specific geometric regimes. Not so for growing systems! Given time, most geometries can entangle. doi.org/10.1101/2023.0…
Check out this beautiful gif of a snowflake yeast growing on the TomoCube taken by Andrea Herman. Dot in the upper left is a 10um bead, used to make a thin chamber. @Tomocubeinc @MBLScience #Physio23
Peer-reviewed version in @NatureComms of our (@yashraj_chavhan @SutirthDey) paper on experimental evolution of bacterial multicellularity by genetic assimilation of phenotypically plastic cell clustering nature.com/articles/s4146… Don't miss the new supplementary movies!
Hi folks, we have a new preprint out on the #MuLTEE, examining the molecular basis of multicellular evolution. We found that an ancient protein folding system, Hsp90, can be tuned to drive rapid convergent multicellular evolution. 1/24 biorxiv.org/content/10.110…
Very excited our recent work with Daniel Fisher and @BhayaDevaki on long-term coevolution of natural cyanobacteria is up on bioRxiv. Instead of diverging into specialist strains, we find different species slowly merge on timescales of 100k years. (1/n) doi.org/10.1101/2023.0…
Wow, this is a pretty incredible find! Looking forward to hearing more about if the interpretations of these discoveries holds up as more work is done. newscientist.com/article/237682…

A journey of a lot of collaboration, hard work and microscope time has just been published in Nature! Congrats to these folks, I am incredibly lucky to be a part of this project. @wc_ratcliff @ozan_g_b @YunkerLab @dahaj1897 and others I missed. Article: nature.com/articles/s4158…
Please join us on Friday August 12 at 11 Eastern US time for a tutorial and research talk by Prof. Peter Yunker of Georgia Tech on the evolution of multicellularity. Please send us a direct message if you are not on the mailing list for the Zoom info and would like to be added.
New Featured Review from BPR: @wc_ratcliff, @GTPhysics aippub.org/3zSJ2vx
🌍 February's most-read Physics of Living Systems paper draws on ideas from granular physics to offer new insight into universal rules of multicellular geometry: elifesciences.org/articles/72707… Have a paper people should see? See what our Editors look for: elifesciences.org/about/aims-sco…
New paper out in @eLife today, led by grad student @thomas_day_ and @YunkerLab, in collaboration with Ray Goldstein, Stephanie Hohn, and a number of others from our three groups. elifesciences.org/articles/72707
CALL FOR ABSTRACTS! Frank Rosenzweig and I are co-organizing sessions on experimental evolution and the evolution of multicellularity for the 2022 Astrobiology Science Conference #AbSciCon If you work on either of these topics, please submit an abstract by Jan. 19, 2022! 🦠🔬🌍🔭

New preprint up with @ozan_g_b and @kai_tong_mc25, examining the selective drivers of simple multicellularity. As might be expected, there are many reasons to be multicellular. This figure does a pretty good job of summarizing what we know! preprints.org/manuscript/202…
Well, this has been a long-awaited day- the first paper on our multicellularity Long Term Evolution Experiment (LTEE) is on the BioRxiv. Ever wonder how simple multicellular organisms evolve to become larger and more complex over thousands of gens? 1/35 biorxiv.org/content/10.110…
We (@thomas_day_, @dahaj1897, @dayan1406, @TonyBurnetti, @wc_ratcliff, Stephanie Hohn, and Ray Goldstein) have a new preprint on universal packing statistics in multicellularity. We also explain what multicellularity shares with piles of sand! (1/N) biorxiv.org/content/10.110…
