We're so honored to receive the 2019 PLoS Computation Biology Research Prize in Public Impact.

We wrote PhysiCell to empower modelers to do new and bigger science. I hope this prizes lets us reach and help even more.

@astrocatinfo Thanks! Alas not a dual--just the one Tak.

@FritzdKat @McDonalds That was fast! Amazed you got in to even see that result!

I was at error 429 even at 10:59 am

[Paul Macklin @MathCancer]

Yep, this is pretty much how I figured the 11 am caviar promo would turn out at @McDonalds

@Magnetodawn Happy 2026 to you!

Please LMK if you do find yourself on BlueSky. (I'm there under same username.)

Waited in a 90-minute line in the rain to get one last Sprinkles Cupcake before all of the stores shut down forever.

Corporate America delivering one last shitty moment to ring out a very shitty year.

Fuck 2025 and fuck private equity.

Thrilled to see our project on the cover of this week's @ScienceMagazine. Incredibly fun and rewarding collab with the public, @eliz_aguilar2 @JuncoWren @imillercrews @MathCancer

[Paul Macklin @MathCancer]

Epic indeed, @JoshuaABull !

[Oxford Mathematics @OxUniMaths]

What's it like round here? What are the people like? What do they do when they are not doing maths? Do they have fun?

Films about people who also do maths. @JoshuaABull

This week in Math Onco 345:

Darwinian evolution, digital twins, multiscale modeling, and antifragility

[Paul Macklin @MathCancer]

In a serious case of a weirdly small world, I ran into @Seirin_Lab at @OxUniMaths in the visitor office.

What a joy!

[Paul Macklin @MathCancer]

@FabianSpill Thanks, Fabian! and was great to see you at SMB!!!

[Paul Macklin @MathCancer]

@SKabrajiMD @JKTGFoundation @BCRFcure @theNCI @NIH @PhysiCell And we're just getting started!

We are now working to make it easier to load, export, share, and recombine models written in the grammar, and next-generation extensions of the language.

Also working with other open source leaders to support the grammar for model exchange

[Paul Macklin @MathCancer]

They were able to show how cancer-fibroblast interactions can drive malignant transformation (EMT), but in some cases, these interactions can also trap cancer cells to prevent spread. 10/n

[Paul Macklin @MathCancer]

@SKabrajiMD @JKTGFoundation @BCRFcure @theNCI @NIH Thank you!

Yes, the grammar is already fully incorporated in @PhysiCell, and you can try it yourself with web-based PhysiCell Studio. Please do!!

I suggest a recent short course we taught last week that gives a taste! :-)

[Paul Macklin @MathCancer]

And we're beyond grateful for early support by the @JKTGFoundation (and even earlier by @BCRFcure) and @theNCI and @NIH. Without early support for basic sciences, we would never have been in the position to create this work today! 17/17

[Paul Macklin @MathCancer]

It was a great honor to work with this team. We have accomplished something beautiful together we could never have done on our own. It is an honor to count them as colleagues and friends! 16/n
