Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

SoS 272: Dr. Charles Roseman and Dr. Ben Auerbach on the Extended Evolutionary Synthesis and the Ongoing Synthesis of Evolutionary Theory
Q: What are the differences between the modern synthesis, the Extended Evolutionary Synthesis, and the ongoing synthesis?
The modern synthesis combined genetics with Darwinian evolution but is viewed as relatively monolithic; the EES calls for including additional inheritance mechanisms and processes beyond classic natural selection, while the ongoing synthesis emphasizes a plural, testable, and flexible framework that can incorporate multiple lines of evidence rather than sticking to one dogmatic model.
SoS 271: Learning about the evolution of the human microbiome with Tanvi Honap
Q: What's the take-home message and where is this line of research going next?
The microbiome may not be a uniform package passed down through generations; different microbes have their own stories. Some lineages persist for thousands of years, while others are replaced, especially after contact, and future work will explore the health implications of these dynamics and potential animal reservoirs.
SoS 269: The Whole Organism Imperative with Dr. Ben Auerbach
Q: Can you explain what you mean by the whole organism imperative and why looking at traits together is important for understanding evolution?
The idea is that traits do not evolve in isolation; developmental and genetic covariances cause parts of the organism to be linked, so studying multiple traits in concert helps reveal the true evolutionary dynamics and avoids misleading conclusions from single-trait analyses.
SoS 267: From Field Notes to Dean’s Notes: Decolonizing Research & Education with Alyssa Crittenden
Q: How does community-based participatory research differ from community-inclusive approaches?
Crittenden explained that CBPR is defined by the community's active participation and asking for the research, while community-inclusive approaches may not involve the community in decision-making.
SoS 267: From Field Notes to Dean’s Notes: Decolonizing Research & Education with Alyssa Crittenden
Q: What are some of the challenges you face in your role?
Crittenden discussed the balance between administration duties and maintaining her research work, as well as the complexities of being part of a vulnerable research community.
