I'm stoked to have this long-term and highly collaborative effort out in the wild. We present an experimental evolution system to quantitatively study the rapid evolutionary dynamics of B-cell affinity maturation. These evolutionary mechanisms underpin antibody responses and immune memory formation.

Recasting the perils of phylodynamic non-identifiability as a feature not a bug, we show that a unique forward-equivalent process enables exact and efficient simulation from arbitrarily large populations. With M Celentano, S Prillo, @yun-s-song.bsky.social www.pnas.org/doi/10.1073/pnas.2412978122

The latest from @xkcd.com, Geometriphylogenetics (xkcd.com/3010/), with alt text "there's a maximum likelihood that I'm doing phylogenetics wrong". But this is actually kinda a thing (e.g. doi.org/10.1201/9780...)!

Enjoying the view from my office at KITP for the next three weeks... I'm here for #viralimmune24, and am recruiting postdocs etc for my new lab at UW! www.kitp.ucsb.edu/activities/v...
