Happy to chat too -- it's probably good to hear several different stories, because there isn't one path.

This is really beautiful work by PhD student Alexandre Porcher Fernandes (@alefern.bsky.social) on the evolution of reproductive strategies. I'm really keen to see where we can take this framework next!

I can only agree with this. Rob's theoretical biology courses were the first time that I could appreciate the beauty and power of math in biology -- thank you!

Today we celebrate over 40 years of research of Rob de Boer, chair Professor of Theoretical Biology.

Rob complemented his tremendous scientific career with a deep impact in multiple roles, as a dedicated teacher, an inspiring mentor, and a kind and generous colleague. Thank you, Rob!

Petition: Hold a referendum on re-joining the European Union I want the government to hold a referendum on whether the UK should Rejoin the European Union.

The time has come to demand a referendum to Rejoin the European Union.

If we can rejoin it won't erase the decade of ruined opportunities, the loss of prestige, the billions of Β£s wasted, but the sooner we get back, the quicker we can heal and get stronger.
