Modelling Microtube Driven Invasion of Glioma

Malignant gliomas are notoriously invasive, a major impediment against their successful treatment. This invasive growth has motivated the use of predictive partial differential equation models,...

Very excited that Alan Hastings and I have a new paper accepted focused on seasonality and ecology. The journal is still working on the proofs, but you can find the article as a #preprint here: peerj.com/preprints/27235/
Seasonality in ecology: Progress and prospects in theory

Seasonality in ecology: Progress and prospects in theory

Seasonality is an important feature of essentially all natural systems but the consequences of seasonality have been vastly underappreciated. Early work emphasized the role of seasonality in driving...

Finished! I just gave my PhD exit seminar. Thank you to all the friends + family who have helped me get here. I will be in Davis for a bit, but then I will be a postdoc in Vermont with the QuEST grad program. Lots of exciting things happening here! uvm.edu/quest

Common view of “evolution” applied to cancer is equivalent to claiming that cave fish are blind because a blind fish swam into a cave

Bob Gatenby @MoffittPSOC speaks on evolutionary oncology #cancerEGT. Genetic analysis of a tumor sample is like genetic analysis of all species of cave fish mixed into a single sample

Joel Brown @MoffittResearch @MoffittNews makes the point that evolutionary modelers either choose frequency model first (e.g. most classical game theory) or dynamic model first (e.g. adaptive dynamics) #cancerEGT
