Our latest work out in Physical Review X, with Orit Peleg + Chantal Nguyen ๐ฅณ We find that circumnutations, inherent movements of plants, provide random perturbations crucial for optimal self-organization of crowded sunflowers, minimizing mutual shadingโ๏ธ link.aps.org/doi/10.1103/Phโฆ

Very happy to share new work by Cal (w Aaron and Arvind Murugan )ย arxiv.org/abs/2409.05827 ! We show how the expressivity/computational ability of non-equilibrium biological processes may expected to be fundamentally limited.
Sometimes life surprises you in the best ways: Iโve been named a 2024 Schmidt Polymath! Deeply grateful to my mentors, colleagues, and students who have been part of this journey with meโฅ๏ธ Stay tuned for some new, delightfully peculiar animal behaviors๐ schmidtsciences.org/six-professorsโฆ

It's great to see this work (started in 2019) published! Congrats to all authors. One major takeaway for me: collaborating with Bement Lab is one of life's greatest joys
Excited to see this work out in Nature Communications with Richard J. Knecht et al. !
