Why is sex so common if it's so costly? Super excited to share our new preprint “Sex decreases the pleiotropic costs of local adaptation”, where we bring a new angle to this age-old evolutionary question. Co-led by Parris Humphrey, in Michael Desai's lab. Short thread here: (1/n)

Goofing aside, working with Fernando has been one of the most rewarding parts of my PhD and I feel lucky every day that I’m learning to work & think like him! He’s a brilliant theorist and creative experimentalist and this work shows the best of both, give it a read to see 🤗
