Ignoring the friction coefficient of your vertex model? Think twice! Check our new story with @pigueco where we show that choice of friction coefficient affects cell cycle distribution, tissue size, and topological transitions! biorxiv.org/content/10.110…

🌋La Tierra vibró durante 8 horas tras la erupción del volcán #HungaTonga. Un estudio del GEO3BCN - CSIC muestra que la explosión volcánica submarina en el Pacífico provocó que el planeta vibrase a frecuencias muy bajas ➡️bit.ly/3ET4Xp2

Does your (EU) country attract or lose top researchers? AT, CH attract a lot. FR, DE, BE, ES are open places: as many leave as arrive. IE is a closed system. Italy, there is something very wrong: *very* few come, many go. Plot made with European Research Council (ERC) data.

We have a 2-year PDRA position in Multiscale Mechanical Modelling of Batteries available in the Mathematics Department of the University of Oxford, to work with me and Colin Please. Looking for someone with experience in asymptotics/mechanics. my.corehr.com/pls/uoxrecruit…

About two more weeks left for applying to a PhD studentship in Quantitative Developmental Biology in my group, to work on experimental testing of mathematical models of angiogenesis and cell-ECM interactions. universiteitleiden.nl/en/vacancies/2…

Got a fellowship, first author paper, and a husband all in one week… gotta say loving 2023 ❤️

How do biological systems maintain robust outputs in (spatio-temporally) complex environments? Dynamic crossing of (Turing & other) bifurcations creates robustness. New #OpenAccess paper in Proc R Soc A (royalsocietypublishing.org/doi/10.1098/rs… Royal Society Publishing). Joint work with @pearce_maths

Couldn’t have thought of a better conference to give my first talk at! It’s always great to meet new fellow mathematicians, and learn about their work 📊😊 #BAMC2023

Emergency reviewer wanted... Looking for someone who can review a paper on *dueling bandits* within a few days time. If anyone (know anyone who) is able to help, please let me know via PM. Much appreciated!

Can we predict cellular forces just from microscopy ? We are happy to release a robust method by @SachaIchbiah to create 3D atlases of relative cell mechanics in embryos or tissues from fluorescent images of cell outlines: tinyurl.com/5fj2c4b8 A thread (1/n)

We have several vacancies for experimental & numerical PhD positions Physics of Fluids @ UTwente on my ERC Advanced Grant "MultiMelt - Melting and dissolution across scales in multicomponent systems". Please spread the word. Here is the advertisement: pof.tnw.utwente.nl/vacancies/39

#UCLPhD students @gendelta6 are offering a one-day in-person workshop on Training for Careers for Home doctoral students who identify as BAME women. There are 25-spaces available on a first come first serve basis, register now via this link: forms.office.com/pages/response…

During weekly lab meetings the people in my group present in one slide the highlights/progress of the past week. This is the best slide we’ve ever had. We laughed so much and hugged because: science is hard, it’s okay to admit it, and we are all in it together 🙂#mentalhealth

🪧 We are hiring a postdoc in the group! 🪧 Interested in how genetic noise can generate novel behaviours in gene regulatory networks? Join us! If interested, do not hesitate to DM (and RT!). jobs.ac.uk/job/CZK614/res…

It's happening again!! Join us this September for the second edition of the London Mathematical Biology Conference!

Excited to announce the Stochastic Systems in Active Matter (SSAM) one-day workshop that I am organising. SSAM is to be held on October 4th 2024 at the Isaac Newton Institute, Cambridge. Abstract submission deadline 23rd Sept and further information: drlukekdavis.com/ssam24-workshop.

✨it's PhD application season again!✨ i am re-sharing my popular guide on applying for PhD programs in STEM, that has now been viewed 60k+ times over the past 6 years😍 please RT and share with anyone that might find it useful! lucylai.com/blog/gradapps

I am advertising x2 (4-year) PhD projects on the statistical physics and mathematics of active matter at Edinburgh Uni Maths. The deadline is 20/01/25 and likely starting date is Sept 2025. Project details see mac-migs.ac.uk/projects-2024/ and scroll down or ctrl-f "Luke". Please share! 😄

So grateful to have been part of this workshop! I had a wonderful time with the team, working on agent-based modelling for pulmonary fibrosis.
