#introduction (cont’d) My interests extend to our own social system: why is it so hard to do what is in our collective interest? How can we do better for everyone?
An American living in Aotearoa New Zealand. Learning to navigate a very different academic life here.

#introduction My research focuses on #cooperation and conflict. I work with #Dictyostelium — a soil #amoeba where cells #cooperate and sacrifice to build multicellular fruiting bodies. A system where there can be a benefit to selfish behaviors. I try to understand how these amoebae make their society work.

Lots of introduced chestnut trees in NZ, including European and Chinese chestnuts. I keep my eyes peeled for American chestnuts, though. 👇
