Joan Strassmann

Professors Joan Strassmann and David Queller from Washington University discuss the evolution of cooperation and conflict. They focus on their work with the social amoeba Dictyostelium discoideum, which helps understand the impact of relatedness on cooperation and the origins of multicellular organisms. They also touch on Joan's new book Slow Birding: The Art and Science of Enjoying the Birds in Your Own Backyard.
