Like other professionals, scientists are considering the impacts of #AI. The @smbmathbiology.bsky.social is no exception. Reinhard Laubenbacher shared his thoughts on how AI could be incorporated into #MathBio in a meaningful way.

A range of Turing patterns on different domains.
So, why does it matter?
Explicitly, I've shown that we have to be careful when approximating geometries in applications. Curved edges can fundamentally alter what it means for a domain to be 1D, or 2D.

As teachers we know that math is inaccessible for students, but we don't know exactly why.
Our study aims to understand how student's math confidence impacts their learning performance.

Office wall with 2025 Science and Cell publications, and prior astrophotography.
Science cover (2025), integrating our smart phone app for community eclipse science (over 11,000 observations across North America!) with AI analysis of audio recordings across Monroe county to detect changes in bird behavior during the eclipse. Work led by Liz Aguilar, joint with Kim Rosvall and Dustin Reichard.
Cell article (2025) and cover submission, on our new cell behavior grammar to enable rapid, intuitive, and interpretable simulation models of complex cell systems. Work led by Jeanette Johnson, Daniel Bergman, and Heber Rocha, jointly with Elana Fertig, Lisa Coussens, Laura Heiser, Genevieve Stein-O'Brien, and Young Hwan-Chang.

Thanks for a great 2025, @fertiglab.bsky.social @coussenslab.bsky.social @jeanettejohnson.bsky.social @heberlr.bsky.social @liz-aguilar.bsky.social @rosvall-lab.bsky.social @juncowren.bsky.social & amazing collabs!
Here's to new adventures in 2026!
In this approach, the defective virus competes with the normal virus for shared proteins, which suppresses viral replication.
Using mathematical modeling, they found that while this treatment is promising, a protective immune response drastically reduces its effectiveness.

I've started some light reading of a classic. 🧪 #mathbio #mathonco
I'm inspired by great collaborators with @coussenslab.bsky.social, @fertiglab.bsky.social, Laura Heiser, and others to delve deeper and improve my immunology fundamentals.
Another review article worth bookmarking: Signed Networks: theory, methods, and applications."

Dear developmental biologists, Julia comes with a Zygote that auto-differentiates. 😀
using Zygote
f(x) = x^2 + 3x + sin(x)
f'(2.0) # returns 6.58385

Wet lab? Dry lab? I prefer the Symbolic lab.
Math-Bio isn't just HPC runs— derivations & proofs matter too. As always, Julia helps.
using Symbolics
@variables x y a b c d m n
f = [a/(1+y^n)-b*x, c/(1+x^m)-d*y]
J = Symbolics.jacobian(f,[x,y])

Every time I try to post on #mathbio, I realize 300 characters can’t hold a nonlinear thought!
LLMs don’t live—yet they learn, adapt, and hallucinate. Strange! Is not it? Biologists need to rethink the key ideas of Life. #physicsoflife #mathbio #complexity #systemsbiology
Teaching Gillespie algorithm in the Systems Biology class and it reminds that Life is a process with long stretches of exponential calm punctuated by bursts of stochastic drama.

Some people have midlife crises. Dynamical systems have pitchfork bifurcations.

If a phenomenon is mathematically possible, then we may observe it in reality, but a mathematically impossible one can never be real.

Before physics* found symmetry, biology was already breaking it.

Math Onco Blog cover art 345: growing tumor attacked by tumor cells. A 3D simulation written entirely in a new model grammar without handwriting simulation code.
Excited to be this week's cover for the Math Oncology Blog (# 345): a 3D @physicell.bsky.social simulation written entirely in a new model grammar without code.
Jointly made with @heberlr.bsky.social, based on our recent @cp-cell.bsky.social paper. #Mathonco #mathbio 🧪
doi.org/10.1016/j.ce...
Grammar to develop #mathbio #mathonco models? Color me interested.
Great work by @mathcancer.bsky.social, @fertiglab.bsky.social and others
First up at #UKMathBio is Tiina Roose, who makes a great case that maths can be central to every stage of experimental data collection, particularly imaging! #MathBio shouldn't just be an endpoint where we take fully processed experiments and model them completely separately from everything else
