Evolutionary Studies Initiative at Vanderbilt. We love everything evolution and those that study it. We are a cross-disciplinary group excited to bring together folks that wouldn't otherwise work together. We have a great seminar series, a fun journal club, and love outreach. Find our e-magazine here www.vanderbilt.edu/evolution/magazine. Toots are the opinions of the author (generally, Andy) only

Our first annual evolutionary studies retreat is tomorrow! Three talks from evolutionary biologists followed by 1-2 minute lightning talks from the community and ending with yard games and a social!
Kristen Ogden, an assistant professor in the Pediatrics and Pathology, Microbiology and Immunology departments at VU, studies what happens when two viruses attack the same cell – also known as coinfection. In a recent study led by an alumnus of her lab, Tim Thoner, the team discovered that the time between the first virus infecting a cell and the arrival of a second virus may drive the ability for the two viruses to reshuffle their genomes creating hybrids.

A trainee in our program recently published a paper about #Aspergillus #flavus and its close relatives. The group found that environmental differences can drive differences in virulence across species.
