When we contemplate the grandeur of life that evolution has crafted – a “tangled bank,” as Darwin put it, “clothed with many plants of many kinds, with birds singing on the bushes, with various insects flitting about, and with worms crawling through the damp earth” – it’s difficu...

October 15, 2021
Immunotherapy has sparked new hope for people with cancer, but for it to work, the patient’s immune system must be able to “see” the tumor. There are ways of enhancing this recognition in individual cases, yet such solutions are, by definition, personalized, which greatly limits...

We tend to think of evolution as a chaotic process from which life emerged spontaneously. But what if there were patterns that could explain how simple materials evolved into organic life? What if there were generalized models for describing how prehistoric organisms interacted w...
