This was an awesome workshop!
It was a pleasure to co-organize with @allysonsgro.bsky.social Junior Scientist Workshop on Theoretical Biophysics at @hhmijanelia.bsky.social. We had great lectures and tutorials on theoretical approaches used to understand biological phenomena. Can't wait for the 2026 iteration, stay tuned.

Often people ask why we chose to work on a certain problems and a simple answer for us in this case - it’s beautiful. If you want to learn the magic of building crystalline « gems » inside the body - see our latest paper at www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1...

Come join my research group as a PhD student for an exciting project in collaboration with Ilya Nemenman at Emory University. The project will focus on inference of social forces in animal groups. Timely and fun topic 😁
Pls share:
I have an opening for a PhD student in my group part of a collaboration with Ilya Nemenman at Emory University to begin ASAP. It is an opportunity to delve into the theory and application of social interactions inference methods.
