Dear UC, you have a list of all the courses I have taught with enrollment numbers, why do you make me copy this exact list into a different form (AP-10) every time!!!!

The colleagues are phenomenal, the research is great, and it’s a department that values teaching and mentoring. Evidence: see the “10 Simple Rules…” paper by faculty and postdocs in the department. osf.io/preprints/ed...

WOAH 👀🧪 "we show that eukaryotic chromosomes are ionic hydrogels and that the chromosomal material is a two-state system, with interconversion between condensed and decondensed states through a volume phase transition, analogous to a liquid-gas transition" www.science.org/doi/10.1126/...

The eukaryote chromosome, a two-state system with interconversion by a volume phase transition

The formation of metaphase chromosomes requires the activity of condensins, DNA translocases that reduce chromosomal length through the process of loop extrusion. Reduction of length, however, does no...

What, is it over already? MEEHubs2026 concluded just minutes ago. It's been a blast, and here are some stats for you: 711 registrations, 241 posters, 71 talks, 3 days, participants from 32 countries. Bye from all the hubs 🩵🩵🩵 #MEEHubs2026 #MEEHubs26

MEEHubs doesn't stop when the talks stop: from a mouth-watering spread in Morelia to a bonfire in Irvine to an Apero in Zurich, we've got your social calendar covered during the conference #MEEHubs2026 #MEEHubs26

New paper out in @currentbiology.bsky.social ! 🎉 Who drives disease transmission? The answer seems obvious: measure who releases or disperses the most parasites. But after dissecting transmission step by step, we found that’s often not the case. 👇 🧵 #EvoSky #IDSky www.cell.com/current-biol...

Transmission heterogeneity emerges from uncoupled parasite shedding and spreading

Silva et al. show that disease transmission emerges from multiple ecological bottlenecks rather than a single host trait. Separating parasite shedding from downstream infection success reveals why hos...

A good reminder to join your faculty association (cucfa.org) and re-build faculty power and autonomy across the largest public university system in the US.

Sarah T Roberts, PhD@ubiquity75.xyz · last mo.

A reminder that UC _faculty_ and Faculty Associations — not the universities themselves nor their administrators — are waging this battle in court, demonstrating great bravery and moral clarity.

This is a cool paper formalizing the fact that being able to do more work faster does not make the work better, and this does not include the university adminstration passing more work onto us because "it is easy" or teaching more students per faculty because we can.

1. We—@eduede.bsky.social, @mjcrockett.bsky.social, Kevin Gross, and I—have a new preprint on the arXiv today, based on ideas that emerged during an @sfiscience.bsky.social workshop in November 2024: The unintended consequences of large language models as a labor-augmenting technology in science.

I have absolutely no argument with the fact that gametic sex is a profoundly important aspect of biology in anisogamous species. And yet it is but one manifestation of sexual differences, *all of which are equally biological*

For the second preprint, we collaborated with Travis Wiles to understand microbiome transmission and its role in community assembly using zebrafish. We found that dispersal dynamics can readily move gut colonization and assembly from a stochastic to fairly predictable www.biorxiv.org/content/10.6...

I am a little behind in sharing the newest pre-prints from the lab. First, Ariel Favier (an incredible graduate student) sampled bacteria (Gammaproteobacteria) all over California to evaluate if there was signs of local adaptation to temperature: www.biorxiv.org/content/10.6...

In this paper, we combined theory and experiments to study how stress can induce cooperation, and how this cooperation can promote tolerance under resource limitation. * * Stress doesn’t always break systems — sometimes it reorganizes them.
