Cancer is an evolutionary disease, but does knowing a cancer’s evolutionary past help predict its future? Out today in @nature, we learnt the evolution of 2000 lymphoid cancers and found it was highly correlated with clinical outcomes! (1/7)

Monkeyflowers are masterpieces of design with nectar-guide spots formed by an activator–inhibitor system of MYB transcription factors. These generate reaction–diffusion patterns across the ventral petal.
So I am absolutely going to host a Flower Design symposium in 2030. This is a formal call for designers. We have @nickdesnoyer.bsky.social with his beautiful Arabidopsis roses, and I'm likely giving my life to my Alice Petunia...but we need more people. Where you at?!
