Graph transformers are important for ML on graph-structured data, but scaling them up for large graphs is difficult. Here you can learn about Exphormer, a sparse attention framework that uses expander graphs to improve scalability for graph transformers. goo.gle/48JVvAW

An overview of Policy Resistance (tendency of interventions to face unintended consequences) at the Dynamical Systems and Fractal Geometry conference University of North Texas, Texas May 2024. Attendees at the conference noticed similarities between Policy Resistance and Entropy. Can you?

Congratulations to SMID Lab Esteban A. Hernandez-Vargas on their 10th anniversary! Also, congratulations on hosting the inaugural Workshop on Systems Medicine of Infectious Diseases at the University of Idaho University of Idaho this June 2024. #SystemsMedicine #InfectiousDiseases

We participated in the 2024 Society for Industrial and Applied Mathematics (SIAM) SIAM Annual Meeting in Spokane, Washington, USA, from July 8 - 12, 2024. Great conference! University of Idaho Esteban A. Hernandez-Vargas #bacterialresistance

Our new 95-page review article is out on arXiv! "Structural Robustness and Vulnerability of Networks" (by Alice C. Schwarze, Jessica Jiang, Jonny Wray, Mason A. Porter): arxiv.org/abs/2409.07498 This is a very ambitious article, which was led superbly by Alice Schwarze.

Great experience at the Dynamical Systems and Control Workshop on Oct 10, 2024, at Universidad del Litoral in Santa Fe, Argentina. Insightful talks by Alejandro Hernán González, Mirko Fiacchini, Ernesto Kofman, Antonio Ferramosca, and others on control systems in biomedical research!

Had the pleasure of returning to my High School to lead the workshop "When the Cure is Worse than the Disease." We explored resistance in everyday life and conducted experiments on prediction challenges. Thanks to all for your participation. Federal, Entre Ríos, Argentina.

Our new work on predicting the success or failure of sequential antibiotic therapies. Great work from Alejandro Anderson and Matthew Kinahan biorxiv.org/content/10.110…

New paper in Infectious Disease Modelling We explore sequential therapies using collateral sensitivity to reduce antimicrobial resistance. 🔗 lnkd.in/gnaQuYzi Great collaboration between University of Idaho Math & Bio departments and Universidad del Litoral & Conicet . #AntimicrobialResistance

8 Greatest Laws I know at 35, I wish I knew at 20: – Thread – 1.

Thank you AntonioFerramosca and team for the invitation to speak at the Department of Management, Information and Production Engineering UniBg . My talk: “Antibiotic combinations: can two antibiotics outperform one?” Believe it or not — the answer is not what it seems.

New paper with Rodolfo Blanco-Rodriguez & Esteban A. Hernandez-Vargas at University of Idaho We show how virus–antibody dynamics within a host can shape transmission between hosts — a key gap in many epidemic models. Small-scale chaos, big-scale impact. #Epidemiology #InfectiousDiseases
