My research group have discovered that I am afraid of invertebrates, and have responded appropriately

I am proud of them

The course assignments use GitHub with autograded tests. I'll make them all public at the end of the semester, but if you're interested I'm happy to share those, too -- just reach out!

I'm having a blast teaching a new 400-level computational physics class this semester. I've been writing up and posting my lecture notes as I go, and wanted to share them -- feedback and comments are more than welcome! https://t.co/R9Pard3dFm

We're in the middle of a module on randomness as a computational resource. We'll go from simple PRNGs to Metropolis Monte Carlo to using HMC for Bayesian inference. I'll be adding those notes to the webpage as they're completed.

Perhaps you, too, are finding today stressful? To help take my mind off of the events of the day I've been taking some parts of my research group's lab manual, and some teaching resources, and adding them to my webpage. A brief thread to distract us all with science!

Or, as the ultimate tool of procrastination, check out an absurd system I use to write LaTeX documents using... vim. Nothing like using a text editor that is older than my students😂

Score!!🎉

Paper just accepted in NATURE PHYSICS! @NaturePhysics

Using Stentor, we show that hydrodynamics could have been a key factor in evolution of multicellularity!If you are a postdoc candidate with background in biological fluid dynamics & like doing experiments -email!

I will have a great day! Thanks, Emory students!

[Daniel Sussman @DanielMSussman]

@lorentzframe I'll check it out -- thanks for the link!

Toler Webb, a graduate student I have the pleasure of working with, has been doing heroic work implementing simulations of particles on curved manifolds! We'll be open-sourcing the code and writing up the methods paper describing it ASAP, so for now just a few fun snippets

@realKvothe Yep 😂

[Daniel Sussman @DanielMSussman]

Of course, I'm excited about the science problems we'll tackle with this, but also... did I mention that this is for arbitrary surfaces? Jamming problems on the surface of an elephant, anyone?
