SUMMARY:Genealogies in expanding populations reveal new universality classe
	s.
DESCRIPTION:Featuring Kirill Korolev\, Boston University\, Physics Departme
	nt\nPoster: http://physics.bu.edu/internal//files/download/Korolev-poster.p
	df\n\nPart of the Physics Department Colloquia Series.\n\nReaction-diffusio
	n waves describe diverse natural phenomena from crystal growth in physics t
	o tumor growth in biology. Many aspects of these phenomena are stochastic b
	ecause expanding entities---whether atoms or cells---are discrete. A quanti
	tative description of fluctuations in growing populations remains an open p
	roblem. Recently\, we have made significant progress in this direction by l
	ooking at physical processes through the lens of biology. I will show that 
	expanding populations fall into one of three universality classes with very
	 different physical and genetic properties. As a result\, external perturba
	tions can be used to control evolutionary outcomes in growing populations.
