That's a wrap for the 2024 "Master Class in Teaching Math Modeling for Life Sciences" workshop! Thanks to our instructors, @alan_garfinkel and @EricJDeeds, as well as all the participants who brought lively discussion and unique perspectives to the table!

[Alan Garfinkel @alan_garfinkel]

Hey folks, we're repeating last year's successful workshop at Harvard in how to teach modeling and dynamics to undergrad life science students with *no* previous calculus. Please join me, @BmathK, @EricJDeeds and Jennifer Czocher (Texas State) in June.

[Brendan Kelly @BmathK]

Join us for a master class in teaching math modeling for life science students. Learn from @alan_garfinkel how to teach dynamics to undergraduates without a calculus prerequisite.

June 23 - June 28

Our paper with @EricJDeeds is now up on PLoS Comp Bio. Some new goodies since the preprint including an implementation of a generalized form of the branch distance!

[Dr. Kimberly Ayers @kimdayers]

I was fortunate enough to spend a week at Harvard with @alan_garfinkel @BmathK and @EricJDeeds learning about this course! Looking to implement some of these ideas here at CSUSM.

[Shah Lab @ShahLabUCLA]

At #2023WCSDB? Say hi to Gunalan Natesan and Ryan Johnson presenting posters tonight! Gunalan studies the structure of cell lineages in collaboration with @EricJDeeds and Ryan studies developmental heterogeneity in wild isolates of C. elegans in collaboration with @ecandersen!

For those who want to know more about what Cormac McCarthy was like, here's some short remembrances about him from those very close to him at SFI, including me.

[Van Savage @VanMSavage]

“Mr. McCarthy moved to *El Paso, N.M.*”🧐 I point this out only because Cormac himself would find it amusing. One of the funniest, most curious, warmest, and brightest people I’ve ever had the pleasure to know. I’ll miss him dearly: https://t.co/mfyfB577xa

[Charles Brooks (he/him) @charleslbrooks]

Glad our paper is finally out. Thanks to the BrooksGroup gang! Look for the pyCHARMM MSLD workshop coming in late July. pyCHARMM: Embedding CHARMM Functionality in a Python Framework | Journal of Chemical Theory and Computation https://t.co/QXIpRUtzRE

#MPI2023 Day 3: Another day of fantastic talks on GPCR domains, TF binding sites @ZhipingWeng,cryo-EM maps @d_kihara,mitigation strategies @djosephmc,proteasome self-assembly @EricJDeeds,Kinetics of interactions @yinglongmiao,binding affinity @structbioinf, SARS-CoV-2,#DOCKGROUND

[Shah Lab @ShahLabUCLA]

@EricJDeeds Kids are asleep, so let’s dig in! Molecular and imaging techniques for lineage tracing get better every day, but whoa you get a lot of data! How do you squeeze piles of trees and measurements into a nugget of biological insight? We came up with some ideas! 1/

[Shah Lab @ShahLabUCLA]

It's up! This is an awesome collab with the one and only @EricJDeeds and led by MS student Gunalan Natesan. We describe a new metric for comparing measurements aligned to cell lineages and use it to learn a bunch of new things about cell cycles in the lineage. Tweetorial to come!

The Department of Molecular Biosciences is hiring, not 1, not 2, but 5 positions this year. We want you to be our colleague! Please share widely! Below are links to the job and information on the chair in case you have questions (also can contact me)

[Claudio Villanueva Ph.D. @ClaudioVillanu]

What does it take to break through in academia? Join a group with a shared purpose. As co-director of the @ucla_iracda program with Mike Carey @UCLA we are helping to launch the career of postdoctoral fellows. Providing a structured mentoring program has proved to be effective.

@theosysbio @dagarfield @benoitbruneau @AMartinezArias @AntoineZalc @MadS100tist That is true--Twitter is hardly a platform for nuance or depth. Happy to set up a time to chat. I will email you!

[Eric Deeds @EricJDeeds]

@NimwegenLab @ShahLabUCLA @jisaacmurray @MadS100tist Challenge accepted! We simply were not aware of the Sanity package when we were performing our analyses. All popular approaches that people use to deal with "noise" (e.g. PCA) failed, but Sanity seems quite promising. We will read your work with great interest and try it!
