A belated post to celebrate National Handwriting Day (Friday January 23). #NationalHandwritingDay

The lament of Marvin the Mathematician: Where's the KABOOM?

With a swooping P, a curling H, a slanted I and a looped L, Gov. Philip D. Murphy of New Jersey — on his last full day in office — signed into law on Monday a bill requiring that all third, fourth and fifth graders in the state learn cursive.

I'm immensely grateful for Hypothesis Fund support! For years, we've speculated about "rules" for mixotroph metabolic flexibility. This funding will allow us to integrate new mol & cell bio tools with our modeling optimization approaches. Thank you 🙏 to scout Ginger Armbrust for finding us!

2/ Awardee @megbehri.bsky.social will study how chaotic dynamics arise in microbial🦠 populations. Her research could transform how we predict microbiome dysbiosis across human health and beyond. 🥳 Congrats Dr. Behringer! @vuartsci.bsky.social 🙏 #HFScout @paulturnerlab.bsky.social

We hope that integrating models with data will unlock new predictive capacity for mixotrophs--and beyond. Huge thanks to Ginger for scouting us, and to collaborators @suleles.bsky.social, @gautamdey.bsky.social, @fmikus.bsky.social, Julian Jacobs, and Kevin Archibald for building skills & ideas!

Incorporating realistic ecological interactions changes our understanding of which traits are optimal in different environments, including the temperature-size rule. Awesome paper by David Anderson, outstanding former postdoc with me and Mary O'Connor.

Carlson et al. build a mathematical model considering how genotype-by-environment interactions can maintain variation and parametrize their model to test its applicability to real mutualisms. Read now ahead of print! www.journals.uchicago.edu/doi/10.1086/...

Had a wonderful time visiting @carleton.edu, organized by Kate Meyers (math) and Amanda Hund (biology). Many fun discussions with students and faculty, and surprisingly large attendance for both of my talks. Northfield is lovely and the cold air was refreshing for this west coaster.

Happy to see our analysis on scaling up temperature x nutrient interactions from populations to communities published in Ecological Monographs @esajournals.bsky.social! 📈

Excited to share our paper in @pnas.org with Aldo Compagnoni and Tom Miller ! Climate change may push dioecious plants toward female-biased sex ratios which will impair seed production. Ignoring this feedback underestimates range shifts. www.pnas.org/doi/10.1073/...

Looking forward to the Modern Coexistence Theory workshop tomorrow. Please repost :)

Happy Thanksgiving !!!

Big bluestem has been a lovely and complex system to work with for the majority of my PhD and will always have a piece of my heart! Very excited to share this work with the community.
