How do bottlenecks affect mutant takeover in spatial metapopulations?
Our pre-print reveals that bottleneck strength, frequency, and cell migration intricately drive fixation and extinction - even leading to interesting non-monotonic behaviour.

Had a great time at the @physicsoflifeuk.bsky.social conference in Harrogate this year! Really fantastic to see all the good work ongoing and the community thriving, particularly the ECR part 😄

Just another part of the mass exodus here starting anew and looking for my people!
I'm Matthew, a PhD student at Leeds working on eco-evolutionary models of biology, particularly regarding AMR and cancer.
I play & watch football, run, and paint Warhammer. Also, Darwin and I are best buds.
