Social Viruses

Professor Sam Díaz-Muñoz and I co-organise biannual meetings dedicated to studying social evolution in viruses. These are small meetings of 50-75 participants, in which we bring together virologists, evolutionary biologists, and other researchers who bring diverse perspectives to the study of virus-virus interactions.

Our next meeting will be held at the University of British Columbia from 4th-8th August 2026. Please find more information here.
