Shou Group

Dear Friends, I am way behind the trend - I only recently "discovered" BlueSky and signed up for it (@ShouGroup). I am bad at Social Medium, but know its importance. Can folks please find me there and follow me, and I will follow you back? I will stop using X.

Rafting against the evolutionary waterfall! 🚣‍♂️💨 - see our new paper on the challenge of artificial selection of microbial collectives elifesciences.org/articles/97461 Thanks to my patient and brilliant collaborators Juhee Lee & Hye Jin Park. #EcoEvo #MicroEcology @CloeFor @UCL

For those following the ongoing saga of Priyanga Amarasekare—a major update. She speaks out, addressing all charges! This would make for a dramatic novel or Netflix series. But no, it’s the life of our brilliant and deeply caring colleague and friend pamarasekare.org

Congrats to @romanzapien for winning a Marie Curie postdoctoral fellowship!

Josh and Jamila's review article on community selection has just been published. Congrats to @joshthomas1997 and Jamila! sciencedirect.com/science/articl…

Excited to welcome Josh Thomas to our lab! @joshthomas1997 was a PhD student in Ashleigh Griffin's lab at Oxford.

Look forward to attending the UK Physics of Life 2023 meeting next month. Hope to plug myself into the UK Physics/Biology community. physicsoflife.org.uk/physics-of-lif…

Congratulations to Alex Yuan for defending his PhD thesis! Alex started a completely new direction of research on his own: using statistics to deduce relationships between time series data. Truly impressive!

Abstract deadline for the EMBO | EMBL Symposium: The organism and its environment: Feb 14

Alex Yuan's review/synthesis article on causal analysis of observational time series has been published in eLife! elifesciences.org/articles/72518 Alex is a great writer and narrator, exceptionally good at explaining math. Check out his video walk-through in the article!

Our theoretical work on the artificial selection of microbial communities is published on Nature Communications. Congrats, Li Xie! nature.com/articles/s4146…

We have multiple postdoc positions open. Please spread the word! jobrxiv.org/job/university…

The CLOE AUTUMN SYMPOSIUM will take place on the 7th Oct 2021 (4-6PM). ‘Plant Evolution at Different Time Scales’ will be hosted by @hernanaburbano. REGISTER for your ticket and don’t miss out! eventbrite.co.uk/e/cloe-quarter…

We are looking for a PhD student (UK citizen or UK settled resident) to join our new lab @CloeFor at UCL. The student will be trained in experiments and modelling. The position is funded by a Royal Society Wolfson Fellowship. Please spread the words! findaphd.com/?pj=133261

Pleiotropic "win-win" mutations can rapidly evolve to promote cooperation. Congrats to Sam Hart and Chichun Chen on their @eLife article (elifesciences.org/articles/57838). This is our lab's first @CloeFor paper! Thanks to @NIGMS, #WMKeckFoundation, @wolfsonfdn, @royalsociety.

Wenying Shou is awarded a Royal Society Wolfson Fellowship. See press release: royalsociety.org/news/2021/04/w…

Sonal is awarded a Marie Curie Postdoctoral Fellowship. Congrats!

Our new paper is out @PLOSBiology. New metabolic interactions can rapidly evolve among cells attempting to grow despite nutrient scarcity. Congrats to @RobinGreen1, Sonal and other authors. Thanks to collaborators @arvind_rasi and Rabinowitz lab. journals.plos.org/plosbiology/ar…
