We work on the brewer's yeast in two areas. The first one is the experimental evolution of novelty and the evolutionary repair of genetic damage to biologically important pathways. The second one deals with understanding an example of bet hedging, the physiological division of cells in a yeast population into two epigenetically heritable states, recoverers, who can adapt to sudden nutritional shifts, and arresters, those who cannot.
