🗓️Next Tuesday our seminar speaker will be Andrea Tabi (ICM-CSIC, Spain) @andreatabi.bsky.social, presenting: ⭐Stochastic Origins of Metabolic Scaling Laws⭐ Zoom Link: iite.info/seminar/ Global Times: www.timeanddate.com/worldclock/f... Fully free and open to all - see you there!

Exciting announcement! My new department is launching a postdoc fellowship in quantitative biology. Fellows will be co-advised by two Bio faculty, one that is quant focused (not me) and one that is not (me???). I would love to co-sponsor a postdoc and build a collaboration so please reach out!

Cooperation is a universal feature of complex systems, from the origins of life and microbiomes to societies. What universal patterns can be found in these systems? Here's our new @pnas.org paper. @jordipinero.bsky.social @artemyte.bsky.social @sfiscience.bsky.social www.pnas.org/doi/epdf/10....

Check out my new preprint on the connection between information neutrality and universal metabolic scaling. www.biorxiv.org/content/10.6...

Information-Theoretic Origins of Metabolic Scaling https://www.biorxiv.org/content/10.64898/2026.01.19.700411v1

What a great paper. Wilson Poon & colleagues argue that life isn't exactly trying to be energetically efficient, because it needs the heat to optimize other capabilities. www.arxiv.org/abs/2512.04725

What is the origin of diversity in allometric laws scaling across species? Check our new paper led by Andrea Tabi where we propose a new theory of metabolic scaling grounded in thermodynamics and stochastic fluctuations at the cellular level. www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1...
