What I learned at the AMS Special Session on Evolutionary Game Theory this weekend.
Thank you to @danielcooney1.bsky.social, Alex McAvoy, Thomas Zdyrski, @julieblackwood.bsky.social, Olivia Chu, Jonathan Touboul, Phil LaPorte, and everyone else for a great session!
At 11am Eastern / 10am Central today, Professor Abdel Halloway from Case Western Reserve University will be giving a talk on eco-evolutionary dynamics of cooperation and mutualism.
Please see below for more information about joining the talk.
This was a really fun project to work on with Yuxuan, Kaisheng, and Yefei. We explored two PDE models for a diffusible public good in which cooperators and defectors can perform either purely diffusive motion or a chemotaxis-like directed motion towards increasing concentrations of the public good.
I am happy to share this new preprint with Yuxuan Zhao, Kaisheng Zhu, and Yefei Zhang on Pattern Formation in a Spatial Public Goods Dilemma due to Diffusive or Directed Motion.

I would guess that Rick Ankiel had enough success as a pitcher and hitter to have done either of these things, but I wouldn't be be particularly comfortable guessing him over the two obvious ones.

For a while, I was under the impression that the checkmate was named after the Arabian horse, highlighting the key role played by the knight.
(Due to that misunderstanding, I often remember it as the ``horse checkmate" when I am trying to avoid it in a game.)
Right now, Dr. Maximillian Newman (University of Chicago) is giving the first Midwest Mathematical Biology Seminar talk for the spring semester, presenting on models of genetic inheritence across the genome.
Please see below for info to join.
Happy new year! The second big project of my PhD in Rachel Whitaker's lab is now up! 🎉 We look at how provirus infection affects the evolution of the bacterial chromosome with different types of viral induction – with CRISPRs or antibiotics. Take a peek 🦠 www.biorxiv.org/content/10.6...
When I taught a mathematical biology course in Spring 2025, I used the @smbmathbiology.bsky.social baseball cards from the previous JMM as a first-day giveaway to the class.
As an optional assignment, the students could send me a paper authored by the mathematical biologist whose card they picked.
I am looking forward to buying some of the mathematical biology baseball cards from the @smbmathbiology.bsky.social booth at the JMM. @jointmath.bsky.social #JMM2026
Picture of the conference booth for the Society for Mathematical Biology, which features baseball cards of famous mathematical biologists.
SMB is at JMM! Stop by our booth (#423) to learn more about what we've been up to and to add to your SMB Baseball card collection! #JMM2026 @jointmath.bsky.social

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!
