This Plasmid Project was directly inspired by the results on multilevel selection that Dan introduced me to! In this thread he explains some fundamental theoretical results that were so influential to me as a Scientist. Looking forward to more Math-driven experiments!!! Thanks Dan!

Its very exciting to see this paper out in @behavecol.bsky.social. These conversations, expertly led by @delphinedemoor.bsky.social, have really shaped how I now think about working with social network data. Check out Delphine's thread to learn more!

Wow, that takes me back to an earlier research life... arxiv.org/abs/1509.02958

Very cool--a systematic study of coalescence and consensus times on graphs, with new theoretical bounds, from @david-brewster.bsky.social et al academic.oup.com/pnasnexus/ar...

I'm really excited to see this paper by @fernpizza.bsky.social, @baym.lol, et al. This is a great model system for studying multilevel selection, and the experimental work builds nicely on cross-scale theoretical modeling approaches that I've enjoyed learning about over the past few years. 🧵
