I have set up a new page, Fierce Roller Blog, to post links to content from freethoughtblogs.com/fierceroller on topics related to my research interests. If I have set this up right, the blog content will not show up on my home page, which will be reserved for announcements related to my lab and research. You will find the blog content under the “Fierce Roller Blog” entry in the main menu.

DOI for Scientific Reports paper corrected
In the post announcing the new paper in Scientific Reports, I accidentally linked to the DOI of the bioRxiv preprint instead of the peer-reviewed version of the article. The correct DOI is 10.1038/s41598-019-39558-8, and I have corrected this in the post.
Website updates
I have organized the “People” section of the website, adding pages for two new lab members, undergraduate researcher Sophia Sukkestad and master’s student Ross Lindsey, and adding a “Former lab members” page for people who are no longer in the lab.
My research
I primarily study various aspects of the evolutionary origins of multicellularity through a combination of experimental, theoretical, and comparative approaches. My main model systems are the volvocine algae (Volvox and kin) and their close unicellular relative, Chlamydomonas reinhardtii.
I am currently serving as a Program Director in the Evolutionary Processes Cluster in the National Science Foundation’s Division of Environmental Biology. Anything I post here or on social media reflects only my personal views and does not necessarily represent the views of my employer or the United States.
