The University of Chicago has two faculty searches that should interest evolutionary biologists/geneticists. A fantastic university with lots of strong colleagues across departments. Get in touch if you have any questions! academicjobs.uchicago.edu/po… academicjobs.uchicago.edu/po…

Even a fungus has to move around sometimes. Research by @Luisjagago and @jasnir_ looks at how different movement patterns of zoosporic fungi are affected by their cellular structures biologicalsciences.uchicago.…

How habitats shape movement—even for a fungus

Research from the University of Chicago finds two distinct swimming patterns among fungal spores that depend on the structure of their cells.

Our study on fungal zoospores swimming pattern is out in @CurrentBiology! This study came from one simple question: Do all chytrid zoospores have the same swimming behavior? (No, they don’t!) doi.org/10.1016/j.cub.2024.0… 👇

Where does physics meet biology? In organisms ranging from tardigrades to jumping spiders, the Nirody lab studies how interacting with complex environments—especially through physical movement—impacts behavior and evolution. Read more on our blog: biologicalsciences.uchicago.…

Also at #APSMarchMeeting - check out the Physical Biology of Guided Migration session on Monday - the idea here is to think about physical factors in migration throughout biology. Emiliano Perez Ipina has put together a really nice session!
