Alex Yuan's review/synthesis article on causal analysis of observational time series has been published in eLife! elifesciences.org/articles/72518 Alex is a great writer and narrator, exceptionally good at explaining math. Check out his video walk-through in the article!

Abstract deadline for the EMBO | EMBL Symposium: The organism and its environment: Feb 14

Congratulations to Alex Yuan for defending his PhD thesis! Alex started a completely new direction of research on his own: using statistics to deduce relationships between time series data. Truly impressive!

Look forward to attending the UK Physics of Life 2023 meeting next month. Hope to plug myself into the UK Physics/Biology community. physicsoflife.org.uk/physics-of-lif…

Dear Friends, I am way behind the trend - I only recently "discovered" BlueSky and signed up for it (Shou Group). I am bad at Social Medium, but know its importance. Can folks please find me there and follow me, and I will follow you back? I will stop using X.
