Hello,
This week’s edition includes papers on voronoi tessalating public goods games, multi-tasking cancer evolution, agent-based vs differential eqns, and several reviews including Darwinian evolution, game theory, and networks in cancer. I’ve also including a nice overview on “how to write a paper.”
Enjoy!

Writing for Impact: How to Prepare a Journal Article
Andrew M. Ibrahim, Justin B. Dimick
A nice overview of how to write a journal article in order to maximize the effectiveness of communicating important results. Be sure to check out the accompanying tweet with helpful infographics.
The newsletter now has a dedicated homepage (thisweekmathonco.substack.com), which allows us to post cover artwork for each issue. We encourage submissions that coincide with the release of a recent paper from your group.
Caption: In our recent work we use the Voronoi tessellation model to explore the evolution of cooperation amongst epithelial cells. Here we show a cooperator clone (orange) invading a resident defector population (black). By calculating spatial statistics of clones we are able to predict the success of cooperation under multiplayer public goods games, when birth and death are decoupled. We show that cooperation is more successful when cells interact locally to cooperate, but compete globally for proliferation.
