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.

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.
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
@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
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
@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! :-)

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
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
They were able to use the grammar to entirely encode the complex model (again, no hand-written code!) including complex relationships between ECM density and cell migration that were revealed by experiments at Johns Hopkins. 9/n
Digging deeper Jeanette Johns and Daniel Bergman led work with Elana Fertig and a wide network of collaborators (including Laura Wood, Andy Ewald, Jude Phillips and others) to create a model of pancreatic cancer (PDAC) 7/n
