Beautiful and impressive analysis of CD8 responses to repeated SARS-Cov-2 stimuli (from both vaccination and infections). Provides a treasure trove of T cell receptor data

Seen the latest physiognomy paper in PNAS? Some people felt the criticism was superficial or the outrage unjustified. Some claimed the paper's goal was not to do bad, but to do good. Well, I read the paper (and the patent application). Let me tell you what I found. THREAD

A #postdoc position in my group at the Helmholtz Institute for Functional Marine Biodiversity (HIFMB 🪼 @hifmb.bsky.social) at Oldenburg 🇩🇪 Oldenburg is a beautiful place to live, HIFMB is a young and dynamic institution for everything marine.

Today's publication of Many Labs 4 is the 5th (yes, really) and final publication from the Many Labs series of replication studies. Creating this series was exciting, challenging, & exhausting. I learned a ton. Hopefully, you did too. A short summary... online.ucpress.edu/collabra/artic…

Great thread for those who need to develop, deploy and maintain ML models

How can contraction self-organize a pattern? Here's my attempt to explain what makes some beautiful recent work by Palmquist, Erzberger, Rodrigues, Shyer et al. exciting authors.elsevier.com/a/1f5G2L7PXioW-

Are you interested in working on colliding cells and other problems in cell motility? We're hiring a postdoc! Please apply if you're interested in computation + theory in biological physics, soft matter, etc... bcamley.github.io/job_ad.html

This is really very neat science, illustrating the true power of mathematical modeling in discriminating between various hypotheses: "Integrated computational and in vivo models reveal Key Insights into macrophage behavior during bone healing" journals.plos.org/ploscompbiol/a…

De belastingdienst (en overigens heel veel advieskantoren) betalen dus hoogleraren en leerstoelen bij universiteiten. Dat is zorgelijk ivm onafhankelijk onderzoek (1) nos.nl/nieuwsuur/arti…

Yesterday I've reached a career milestone where at the tender age of almost 43, I don't have to use the words "assistant" and "junior" on my CV anymore. Yay academia!

💡 Welcome to our 8th invited speaker at #CCS2022: Prof. Paulien Hogeweg, from the University of Utrecht, who is a prominent expert in biocomplexity and biotic systems 🌱🌾 Stay tuned, more speakers coming... (deadline for submission: June 7th) CSS yrCSS | Now on Bluesky & Mastodon

Look who's here!!!

First in-person meeting of our HFSP funded team studying T cell crowds at #MPIPKS as part of ImmRep22! Do we look cool? (Tell us we look cool 🥺👉👈)

I know I'm kinda late ... but this is simply amazing 🙂

Two tenure-track positions in a very nice group in beautiful Utrecht (did my own postdoc there)! If you're at all interested in computational / theoretical biology, then you should check this out

Our co-author was likely disappointed that our paper took so long to finish. But I still think stripping all our names from it and publishing it by himself without telling anyone was a bit extreme ...

Check out our new preprint (led by Mike Pun University of Washington) on 3D rotationally equivariant model of protein structure micro-environments, with a holographic CNN (H-CNN): doi.org/10.1101/2022.1…
