Physics of Life 2025 @physicsoflifeuk.bsky.social has been a fantastic meeting. To step forward into understanding #Biology it really is urgent to integrate #Biophysics, #Biochemistry, #StructuralBiology, #Computational modelling, #Theory, etc...
I'm very happy to be part of this community.

Had a great time at the @physicsoflifeuk.bsky.social conference in Harrogate this year! Really fantastic to see all the good work ongoing and the community thriving, particularly the ECR part 😄

Me, caught slightly off-guard, presenting my poster on "Fixation and extinction in time-fluctuating metapopulations".
