We (@thomas_day_, @dahaj1897, @dayan1406, @TonyBurnetti, @wc_ratcliff, Stephanie Hohn, and Ray Goldstein) have a new preprint on universal packing statistics in multicellularity. We also explain what multicellularity shares with piles of sand! (1/N)

How and why can division of labour evolve without efficiency benefits from individual specialisation? Our new paper at @eLife with Hadleigh Frost, @PapilioMing, and @StuWest8. A thread:(1/10)

I'm so excited to have this work out! Be sure to check out @wc_ratcliff 's incredible thread:

I want to emphasize how surprising some of the biophysics here was: snowflake yeast evolve to be entangled, like physical gels!

Well, this has been a long-awaited day- the first paper on our multicellularity Long Term Evolution Experiment (LTEE) is on the BioRxiv. Ever wonder how simple multicellular organisms evolve to become larger and more complex over thousands of gens? 1/35
