Do you want to do a PhD in ageing science? Join our lab Uni of Birmingham ! We have a PhD studentship MIBTP for a project with Simon Jones Inflammation and Ageing to study ageing and cell rejuvenation using computational methods. 1/2 Please see: findaphd.com/phds/project/d…

Excited about our new paper showing that spider webs of all geometries are adjusted to capture precisely the amount of energy per unit mass spiders require (B), including creating in some (D) a hollow space within the web to grow the web's surface area without producing more silk

The open problem -- the "moving sofa problem" -- has possibly just been solved! This mathematical problem basically asks "what is the largest area of a 'sofa' that can be maneuvered through a right-angled corner in a hallway of width 1?" Short thread 🧵

Our work on finite population evolution can now be read with fancy @ASNAmNat typesetting! You can also find a #Kannada abstract explaining the work (thanks Kollegala Sharma for helping with this!) Check it out here: journals.uchicago.edu/doi/10.1086/73… DM me if you don't have access ;)

Four years ago we showed that only 27% of articles published in ecological journals with a code-sharing policy made their code available, leading to only 21% reproducibility potential 📰 doi.org/10.1371/journa… We've followed up and we need your predictions! (polls below)

Highly recommend this PhD position not only for the project but also as Anne is an excellent researcher to work with!

Feynman's response to a student who wrote a letter to him worrying that he might never solve a big problem in his career. A lesson for the rest of us.

please spread the word about this theoretical population biology workshop in chicago in june! should be really fun nitmb.org/modeling-and-t…

We still have a couple spots available, so we are extending the deadline to January 15!

Finally, nice to see the beautiful work and efforts of Shikhara Bhat as a Synthesis article in the Am Nat! Our work provides a math framework unifying various previous results on the effects of stochasticity on evolutionary outcomes: journals.uchicago.edu/doi/full/10.10…

We have a Kannada abstract for this work, which appears on the Am Nat website. It was pretty challenging to come up with Kannada terms, but thanks to amazing Kollegala Sharma Kollegala Sharma, as always.

🚨Your attention!🚨 The deadline for submitting abstracts for #EMPSEB30 has been extended by 25 days. The new deadline is the 30th of January at 11.59 p.m. EMPSEB30 wishes you all a fantastic, exciting and prosperous New Year 2025!🎇

“S.R.S. Vardhan’s work is so original and deep that it is beyond comprehension.” — Fields Medalist Cedric Villani. HAPPY BIRTHDAY (a day late!) to one of the finest living mathematicians—Abel Laureate S.R.S. Vardhan—a protégé of C.R. Rao—a preeminent statistician.

Woohoo! Congratulations Vishu Guttal !! ವಿಶ್ವೇಶ ಗುತ್ತಲ್ !!

Some fantastic work by Franziska Brenninger @kokkonutter!! Go read it!

Present your research in a different and unique way by unleashing your creativity. Whether it is a song, a dance, a film or a play, the sky is the limit! 🎵🖌️🎭 Last year we had a variety of amazing presentation styles that will not soon be forgotten. What will happen this year?

@ASNAmNat Inject this directly into my veins

A reminder to apply by January 16 to do a PhD in ageing and cell rejuvenation in our lab Inflammation and Ageing UoB School of Infection, Inflammation & Immunology with a MIBTP studentship. Come work with us to solve the mysteries of ageing and develop new ways of rejuvenating human cells.
