🚨 Job alert in theory/devbio🚨 Funded by an ERC Starting Grant (woohoo!!), we are recruiting theory postdocs and PhD students to study how embryonic patterns self-organize.

I am deeply honoured to be a guest speaker at the London Mathematical Society,@londmathsoc, on October 1st for #BHoM2024! I am eager to share insights from the #ArithmosProject funded by We are now Research Ireland, focusing on #MathsAnxiety in #Minority groups! ☘️ UCL IOE Psychology and Human Development UCL IOE Psychology and Human Development

Morphogens in the evolution of size, shape and patterning In this Review, Lewis Mosby, Amy Bowen and Zena Hadjivasiliou The Francis Crick Institute @UCL explore how morphogen-mediated patterning evolve and how theory and experiment can be interwoven to bring new perspectives: journals.biologists.com/dev/article/15…

Great postdoc opportunity working with my awesome colleague Yvonne Stokes! careers.adelaide.edu.au/cw/en/job/5151…

1/3 ….excellent análysis of the #GeneCentric view of #DevBio and a strong message, at least for me: it is going to be difficult to explain development just w/genes and their interactions shorturl.at/6t3Vr.

🚨OPEN PhD position🚨 I am looking for a highly motivated PhD student to join my project group in the Department of Machine Learning and Systems Biology MLSB led by Karsten Borgwardt at Max Planck Institute of Biochemistry (MPIB) near Munich. Deadline November 15th. Please RT.

Of course, there should still be discussion sections and office hours available. But the giant lecture itself, delivering live the same material year after year, is an absurd archaicism.

Our CDTs (Centers for Doctoral Training) are great program-based opportunities for fully-funded PhD positions. Specifically, consider the Machine-Learning CDT: mlsystems.uk If you are interested and specifically want to work with me on ML+geometry, contact me!

Why is #accessibility essential for true #openaccess? Removing barriers to access benefits the whole #community. arXiv's #HTML Papers Project was launched to better support researchers with vision impairments who use screen readers, but everyone wins with #darkmode & better UX.

Meeting alert! Registration deadline 15th November! Join us next year The Francis Crick Institute in London for The Beddington Dev Bio symposium. A stellar lineup of speakers, additional talks to be selected from submitted abstracts. You don't want to miss this crick.ac.uk/whats-on/the-3…

We've not forgotten that it's a spooky time of year. Check out this Navier-Stokes sim of fluid flow (Re = 5) in a season-appropriate domain. Navier-Stokes sims will be available soon, live on your device. #Halloween

A biologist and a mathematician walk into The Crick - Curious what happens? Register now for #INTERPHACE2025! ✨Organised by ECRs for ECRs & everyone else ✨Early-bird & 2 for 1 deals! ✨Abstract submission deadline extended to 13/12 ✨Great line-up of confirmed speakers ⬇️

Fully funded summer #internships in #biophysics MPI-PKS Dresden in Dresden - apply now to join our group (or the groups of Ricard Alert Zenón, Christina Kurzthaler, Marko Popovic, or Frank Jülicher) over the summer of 2025! Deadline: 9th of December, 2024.

This could just as easily be said about doing science to chase grants
