Ever wanted an interactive lightning-fast solver for models in physics, chemistry, or biology? Do you have a web browser? I'm thrilled to announce VIsualPDE.com, built explicitly to solve PDE models interactively on most devices, written by Benjamin Walker Adam Townsend and I.

Nice piece on evolutionary medicine via BBC Future highlighting Centre for Evolutionary Therapy and our very own Bob #Gatenby: How Darwinism is changing medicine bbc.com/future/article…

Can Turing patterns be spooky? Absolutely. Try out this one for yourself on our super-secret test site canary.visualpde.com/sim/?preset=Ja… #halloween #spooky

IntCha in non-equilibrium physics: from soft to active and biological matter! Physicists, biologists, chemists and all: find the great list of speakers on our website: pks.mpg.de/intcha24 and submit a poster! Young researchers especially welcome! 22-26/04 in Dresden@MPIPKS!

Our scientific program is online: pks.mpg.de/intcha24/scien… Introducing a new speaker Alexandra Colin - and we will be joined by PRX Life and PRL editors Agnese Curatolo and Elena Sesé Sansa! Packed but great program, including a hike in the mountains 🚶‍♀️🚶 See you in Dresden @ MPI PKS

You know how it is, you study one topic in maths (or other subjects for that matter) and then move on to something completely different and unconnected. But then later... You can watch Philip Maini's full student lecture on Fourier Series. youtube.com/watch?v=Uwzl3N…

Full day: functionalizes colloids and active matter with Pepjin Moerman, Clare Rees-Zimmerman, @SRomanResearch, Aleksandra Ardaseva, Louise Head and Giuseppe Negro

Happy to be back in Seoul for KSMB-SMB2024 !

Thanks Korea, see you in Canada next year! #SMB2024

One thing you can guarantee about social media is that if you want 20 million views of your films, don't put up clips from student maths lectures. Unless the lecturer is Philip Maini. He's back with 3 lectures on Mathematical Biology. 40 million? No 1: youtu.be/Kvu1ZiD_nNI

1. How do biomechanics shape muscle growth💪? Our new study (Mechanical stresses govern myoblast fusion and myotube growth) dives into the role of mechanical stresses in myogenesis. We explored the biophysics behind muscle formation! 🧵👇 biorxiv.org/content/10.110…

Tissues eliminate unwanted cells through cell extrusion, but the factors determining whether these extuded cells live or die are not fully understood. Now force transmission across adherens junctions is shown to have a role in shaping their fate. nature.com/articles/s4156…

Absract submissiona and registration for IntCha25 are open: embl.org/about/info/cou…

excited to share our newest paper on quadrupolar active stresses in active nematics, together with I. Velez-Ceron, F. Sagues and J. Ignes-Mullol: journals.aps.org/prl/abstract/1…
