Happy to share that I'll be joining the School of Maths @EdinUniMaths as a Chancellor's fellow (~tenure track assistant prof).

Will be continuing to apply probabilistic thinking to genomics. Very grateful for all support and encouragement I've received.

Come say hi if in town!

“The standard error of a mean is famously known to be the standard deviation divided by the square root of the sample size, a formula that is valid, except, of course, when it isn't, which is nearly always.” See “Sum Mistake”

[Department for Science, Innovation and Technology @SciTechgovuk]

Quantum computers could help us to answer questions that can’t be solved by ordinary computers.

But what exactly is quantum, and how does it work?

For #WorldQuantumDay we asked @IBM for a simple explanation of the science behind this exciting technology 💡

[Newton Gateway to Mathematics @NewtonGateway]

This week we are at the British Applied Mathematics Colloquium (BAMC), Newcastle!

"Usually, the optimality criterion is minimization of cost ... In fact, the whole point is to provide the drug regulators with less information than they would be given by a design that is not flexible." https://t.co/l0uXElDFtn 3rd edition p385
