RTs much appreciated! Looking for a female Europe-based faculty-level mathematical biologist (with whom I or Jan Nordbotten haven't published in last 3yr) as an external PhD examiner in Bergen some time ideally late August / early Sept. DM or email me to discuss a trip to Bergen!

Big redesign coming to VisualPDE thanks to enormous efforts from Benjamin Walker and Adam Townsend. As an unrelated bit of fun, here's a diffusively-coupled Lorenz simulation. I call it "Butterflies lost in the soup." Link to interactive simulation: visualpde.com/sim/?options=N…

When a papermill boasted how they could increase Google Scholar citations and showed their working, Reese Richardson and I decided to try for ourselves. Introducing Larry Richardson, a cat with a Google Scholar profile and an h-index of 11. reeserichardson.blog/2024/07/18/eng…

I know that we're all excited about the things AI and large language models might be able to do for blind people, but we should be equally invested in asking who has access to our data and what are they doing with it?

Please join us! One PhD student and one postdoc on the mathematical and computational modeling of plant mechanobiology as part of the @greente_science consortium. See mathbioleiden.nl/vacancies.html and green-te.nl for more information. Please RT - thanks :-)

Yes. We do need metaphors for things like this. But what the genome "does" is far harder to encapsulate succintly and accurately than we have tended to suppose. Kevin's paper takes that challenge seriously.

Exciting new VisualPDE.com redesign! - Fancy front page. - An easy to use content library. - A 'Create' page + a 6 minute video showing how to use VisualPDE to solve *your* equations. - Several new examples. Let us know what you think!

One of my biggest gripes with the UK's (+others) educational systems: "At the moment, in the UK, exams are about ranking people... We currently use exams not purely (or even primarily) to assess knowledge, but to work out who is better than whom." theguardian.com/books/article/…

It's been hard to find the words, but here goes: I have been given the wonderful opportunity to start as an assistant professor CU Anschutz Medical Campus in July 2025. That also means opportunities for postdocs & grad students interested in models of motor circuits (simonsfoundation.org/people/laureli…).

This 💯🙌❤️

New publication in Nature Communications where we look at heterogeneous #EMT in #mouseembryo #neuralcrest. Combining computer models and in vivo experiments! My fav kind of #biomath! Big thanks to Eric Theveneau, Sara Merino-Aceituno, and the team! nature.com/articles/s4146…

Very nice piece on "Duck syndrome" at Dynamic Ecology. Worth reading for all those imposters like me! 😉 dynamicecology.wordpress.com/2024/09/03/we-…

📣Applications for our ICERM Workshop on Patterns, Dynamics, and Data in Complex Systems (taking place Jan. 21-24, 2025) are open now at icerm.brown.edu/topical_worksh… 📣. This workshop combines theory, computation, & applications in #pattern formation. We encourage apps by early Oct!
