We are excited to announce a new clinical trial - adaptive therapy for metastatic ER+ breast cancer at Mayo Clinic AZ (NCT06525766). Adaptive therapy manages the evolution of the cancer to extend survival time and reduce toxicity (improve quality of life). bit.ly/4cehaWe

I was listening to the AI generated music of The Velvet Sundown as a thought provoking exercise. I think it is wrong to think of generative AI as being made by a machine, with no humans trying to communicate something. It is more like a melding pot chorus of humanity, and interesting as such.

I'm looking forward to the big AACR Cancer Evolution conference in Albuquerque Dec. 4-6: www.aacr.org/meeting/aacr...

We are hiring a postdoc to profile the evolvability of tumors in longitudinal samples from three clinical trials as part of the ARPA-H ADAPT program. This is essentially an evolutionary bioinformatics position. If you are interested, please apply here ASAP apply.interfolio.com/172521

If you are interested in our research about discovering species with extremely low cancer rates or using ideas from integrated pest management to improve cancer therapy, ASU has a new podcast Lab Coat Optional that featured my work in an episode: www.youtube.com/watch?v=P8r0...

My son and I were interviewed by David Sloan Wilson about the article we published with Beckett Stearner on using evolution and ecology for world building in fiction. We also ended up talking about prosocial issues. www.youtube.com/watch?v=BS74...

We just published a fun article on applying evolution and ecology to world building (for authors and gamers). It's based on a talk I gave at GenCon last year. www.prosocial.world/special-publ... @prosocialworld.bsky.social #FantasyWriters #DnD5e #TTRPGCommunity #WorldbuildingTools #SciFiWriting

Evolution & Ecology for World Builders is a science-powered guide to making your creatures, races, and ecosystems make sense — no biology degree required. www.prosocial.world/special-publ... #FantasyWrite#FantasyWritersG#DnD5ei#TTRPGCommunityn#WorldbuildingToolsg

We just published a review of lessons farmers have learned for how to control pesticide resistance from evolving, and how to apply those to oncology to prevent cancers from evolving therapeutic resistance: bit.ly/48OfFdX

We are excited to announce that a 10 year project to gather and analyze veterinary necropsy data to discover cancer prevalence across (292) vertebrate species has finally been published open access in Cancer Discovery @aacr bit.ly/40nCqmH #componc #cancer #AcademicSky
