Sharing this important article... for no reason whatsoever. "We must also continue to deepen and refine our understanding of fundamental biological processes because these details frequently hold the keys to major advances in applied research." elifesciences.org/articles/102...

Hot off the press! Our latest paper led by @fernpizza.bsky.social, understanding how plasmids evolve inside cells. These small, self-replicating DNA circles live inside bacteria and carry antibiotic resistance genes, but also compete with one another to replicate. 1/ www.science.org/doi/10.1126/...

Jacob Scott, a founding bioRxiv and medRxiv Affiliate with 73 preprints posted, loves the community of open science advocates around the preprint servers. Thanks to Affiliates like him, preprints are posted ~48 hours after submission. #bioRxiv #openRxiv #OpenScience #preprints #CommunityVoices

Big shout out to rising M4 and CWRU MSTP student Eshan King - whose paper came out in @aaas.org Science Advances. connecting the fields of PK-PD and evolutionary modeling using fitness seascapes. #mathevo #mathonco @cbo.bsky.social @sandyanderson.bsky.social www.science.org/doi/10.1126/...

Fitness seascapes are necessary for realistic modeling of the evolutionary response to drug therapy
Computational and experimental studies of drug resistance evolution give insights into why some bacteria become resistant.
