Sir, ma'am, do you have a minute to talk about #evolution?

In these gloomy days, teaching #evolution is the safe harbour. Tomorrow the lecture is online, because I (and many students) are going to a strike in #Utrecht against budget cuts to higher education , but I hope they will still enjoy these absolute classics:

Niklas, Karl J. "Evolutionary walks through a land plant morphospace." Journal of Experimental Botany 50.330 (1999): 39-52.

I still remember being awe-struck by the work of Karl Niklas on plant #biophysics and #morphogenesis when I was a 1st year student at the University of Warsaw. This was truly a portal to a world where everything in nature could be explained and had an underlying principle.

Budd, Graham E. "Morphospace." Current Biology 31.19 (2021): R1181-R1185.

While I am learning my part in French to explain #simulations of #evolution in Brussels for a Science is Wonderful show by @ERC_Research later this week.
