Randomly listening to #BiologyInNumbers episodes (by @parmvir.com for @smbmathbiology.bsky.social) and really enjoyed @suzannesindi.bsky.social's! I wish I'd heard it during my Ph.D. - esp: "most of the time what you try does not work... it feels like you're always solving a puzzle".

Really enjoyed talking about mathematical biology (and a little about being an associate dean) in @parmvir.com's Biology in Numbers podcast on the 2025 @smbmathbiology.bsky.social annual meeting! Bolero superfans, don't @ me! 🧪 (I'm at 33:43) podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/b...

This year's @smbmathbiology.bsky.social meeting provided us with another delightful mashup of math biologists (and me) talking about science, and in Amy's case, ultra-running and conference coffee ☕ Thanks to all the excellent attendees who agreed to speak with me for Biology in Numbers. #scicomm

Right now, Po-Chun Kuo from Purdue University is giving a talk on "Dynamics of Immersed Interface Interface Problems in Stokes Flow". Please see the link below for more information on joining the talk.

In case anyone is interested in attending, Tin's talk is about to start.

Just finished reading an insightful book by @joshuasweitz.bsky.social, which explores the role of asymptomatic cases, the importance of large-scale testing, and vaccine development. Beyond COVID-19, it provides broader insights into how we can approach and prepare for future health challenges.

Our first talk will be this coming Tuesday (11am Eastern / 10 Central). Tin Phan from Los Alamos National Labs will be speaking on mathematical modeling on the immune dynamics of latently infected viral cells. sites.google.com/view/midwest...

This year we wrapped up S2 of Biology in Numbers for @smbmathbiology.bsky.social. I've loved hearing scientists talk passionately about #MathBio. Digging into the data to learn about the podcast’s reach, it seems so do many others. So here is the podcast by the numbers, starting with an intro. 1/2

Part of its remit is to support the community, so it's cool to see downloads worldwide, reflecting @smbmathbiology.bsky.social's international members. It's also great to see the # of followers on different platforms indicating regular listeners. Go to smb.org/podcast to subscribe if you haven't!

Interested in host-symbiont interdependence, eukaryogenesis, and evolutionary transitions in individuality? my first paper just came out! With @gokhalecs.bsky.social and Pete Czuppon, we study when & how individuality emerges in a host-endosymbiont collective doi.org/10.1086/737588 a short thread🧵:

💥 Excited to introduce Bacformer 🦠 - the first foundation model for bacterial genomics. Bacformer represents genomes as sequences of ordered proteins, learning the “grammar” of how genes are arranged, interact and evolve. Preprint 📝: biorxiv.org/content/10.1... 🧵 1/n

Final plenary from Susanna Manrubia at #SMB2025 is another phenomenal plenary talk. Building critical concepts through historical storytelling - starting with Lewis Carroll. TLDR; genotype space is massive! Astronomically large redundancy between genotype and phenotype.

Holy Crow - and now there's like experiments that explore how evolution under temperature operates in bacteriophage. Very nice. "Hierarchical genotype networks and incipient ecological speciation in Qβ phage quasispecies" arxiv.org/pdf/2411.07110 I have my reading for the flight home #SMB2025 ;)

And ending with the Cree language was such a beautiful and meaningful touch - honoring the language of many First Nations peoples and connecting science with culture. #SMB2025

Gave a talk about about this recentally published paper at #SMB2025 on the how and when the tempo and mode of environmental fluctuations impact population growth smb.org/news/13519509

Couldn't leave Canada without breakfast poutine. Some scattered thoughts and Takeaways from #SMB2025... I had a super fun week, so many conversations, short and long, with science friends old and new.

Thanks for the great science and great company. Next year will be time to swap the poutine for pilsner and I'll hope to see you in Graz! #SMB2025

Had a GREAT time at #SMB2025. Very well organized (thank s Jay Newby & Hao Wang!) in the lovely city of Edmonton. Heard lots of great talks, had numerous fun convesations, & learnt so much. Highly recommend joining @smbmathbiology.bsky.social & atttending their meetings! smb.org/Annual-SMB-M...

I was 1 of 2 scheduled speakers in the last contributed talk session at #SMB2025 & the other didn't show. I'm thankful for the 7 engaged audience members consisting of 3 strangers & 4 friends & for see you later hugs I got today. I love the math bio research community that spans the globe.

@mathcancer.bsky.social speaking in the last session on the last day of #SMB2025 - the room is full though so I know I'm not the only one excited ;)

My group was equally distributed among the first (Monday) and last (Friday) day at #SMB2025. But this just made sure we spent a fully lovely week in Edmonton. Graduate student Brandon Imstepf is giving the last Sindi Lab related talk using ML to accelerate network transport models. :)

Out now @dev-journal.bsky.social Transition paths across the epithelial-mesenchymal transition landscape are dictated by network logic Through investigation into the role of logic in GRN models, we discovered that choice of logic (AND vs OR) profoundly impacts cell fate. doi.org/10.1242/dev....
