Excited for this Ignobel talk organized by @fishersfishes.bsky.social!! You can join here: northeastern.zoom.us/j/9832742702... And shoutout to this lovely poster by Meyvizhi :)

From Darwin's finches to cancers to analysing fitness seascapes, we have them all. The "Evolution in Finite Populations" talk series explores the fascinating and dynamic world of evolution in constrained systems, using both standard and non-standard methods while incorporating new-age intuitions.

We are Fisher's Fishes, a global society of theoretical biologists for researchers who explore living systems through quantitative and conceptual lenses. We aim to create a space where these ideas can be explored, developed, and refined in tight coupling with experiments.

Talk Alert! Jacques Bara (University of Bonn) 7:30 PM IST | October 15, 2025 How do cooperation and social structure co-evolve? This talk explores how imitation and partner choice sustain cooperation in dynamic social networks. Zoom: northeastern.zoom.us/j/9832742702... @akilan-r.bsky.social

I was recently invited by a cool student initiative from IISER in India @fishersfishes.bsky.social (fishersfishes.github.io) to talk about networks. I conveyed to undergraduates my ideas for how ecology, evolution and their interplay should be understood in light of biological system properties.
