Funded by the NCI, ACE is a multi-institution collaborative project that seeks to understand the fundamentals of cancer through evolutionary and ecological lens. Learn more about ACE here.

I co-founded and I'm co-directing the ACE Scholars Program, an integrative multi-scale approach to undergraduate research training and mentoring in which we combine scientific mentoring with career and professional development sessions. Our program is team and project-based, as our students are working together to examine questions centered on cancer across the tree of life. Projects include but are not limited to comparative oncology, adaptive therapy, computational methods, the language of cancer, and outreach and science communication. Learn more about the ACE Scholars Program here.

The ASU Interdisciplinary Cooperation Initiative (ICI) brings together scholars from across the disciplines who are joined by a shared interest in understanding the fundamental principles that drive cooperation. Learn more about ICI, the bi-annual symposium and winter school here.

I co-founded and I'm co-directing the Cooperation Scholars Program, through which we provide students with seminars on cooperation across systems and professional development opportunities.

The Cooperation in the Apocalypse research team spans several institutions and disciplines. Researchers from psychology, anthropology, disaster management, literature, arts and more use science and scholarship to understand human behavior in times of crisis. Learn more here.

Across nine field sites around the world, this transdisciplinary project is seeking to understand why and how people help each other in times of need. Learn more about the Human Generosity Project here.

In this lab, researchers are studying cooperation and conflict across systems, from human societies to cooperative multi-species (kombucha). From the rules of friendship to empathy and its influences on prosociality, from conning to cancer in multicellular bodies. Learn more here.

Cancer is part of multicellular life. The research conducted in this lab brings in ecological and evolutionary perspectives to cancer research. Learn more here.
