In late 2019, a bunch of people gathered at the Lorentz Center in The Netherlands to think about how we can predict evolution, and what we need to do better. It was a fantastic meeting, and we just published one of the outcomes – a review discussing different kinds of evolutionary predictions, factors that increase predictability, an overview of key methods, and examples of real-life applications of evolutionary prediction. It was a lot of fun to think about and write the review with a great set of colleagues. Although there wasn’t enough space to fit everything we wanted to say, the paper has turned out quite well. Take a look! (shown here: Fig 1 from the paper, credit Shraddha Shitut).
