Applied mathematician–studying how small things move in micron scale biological systems–stochastic modeling, cell biology, mucosal immunology, particle tracking
That I am speechless, is not an understatement!!! I am truly honoured and humbled by the trust, confidence and support of the @IDRC_CRDI . I am immensely grateful to God, my colleagues, @yorkuniversity and my family for their unending support.

We have some new blog posts up!
@JayMNewby shares his journey to math biology, and his current research on random motion in living systems, including tissue development, swimming bacteria in mucus, and molecular crowding in cells.

Thrilled to announce that this Fall I’ll be joining @UNC as faculty in the @CompMedUNC program, with joint appointment in @amathunc and @UNC_BCBP. Looking forward to working with new colleagues in the UNC Blood Research Center, @UNC_Lineberger, and all across campus!
I feel like I should point out that careful, 3 dose vaccinated people (like myself) are getting COVID-19 in droves right now, and that further,
1) this shouldn't be stigmatized
2) this doesn't mean vaccines are failing.
It does highlight a few important points though

So excited to show off this paper that has been in the works for a while now. Special shout out to Ian Seim for really leading this project and @PappulabWashU for their help! https://t.co/t8qVyeeUO3
Some scientific illustrations become memes*, some turn into cultural icons.
It requires a combination of originality, aesthetic, simplicity and scientific accuracy.
Here are some of them 🧵

*memes in the original sense: units of cultural inheritance that replicate and evolve
NVIDIA open-source 3 versions of the StyleGAN architecture:
1. The original StyleGAN implementation
2. StyleGAN2
3. StyleGAN3
StyleGANs is a technique for creating photorealistic synthetic images.

A great start to my day with a thank you gift of orchids from my @MinesAMS undergraduate researcher Julia Eiken. She is making a beautiful web-based app for our coagulation model. Coming soon!!Mentoring students in research is definitely a highlight of my #academiclife!
Check out our recent work on a self-avoidant particle model! We find these model particles can self-trap, unexpected!! Phys. Rev. E 105, 024609 (2022) - https://t.co/PrIWhYa3MJ
Do you want to understand living systems by studying fungi at the interface of physics and biology. @dacharle42 is the plenary for you. Come out to #CFN22 in June for more!! Register today
NEW PREPRINT😎 How do animals decide during social foraging? a study by Subekshya Bidari along with @zpkilpat, @j_d_davidson and myself presents a model that distinguishes social communication strategies, and allow model fitting to animal behavior data. https://t.co/hJyjb3FSWy
Introducing the Systems and Computational Understanding of Biophysical Actions (SCUBA) group at the Institute of Molecular Biophysics (@mobfsu) at Florida State featuring Wei Yang, Richard Bertram, and me! Dive into science with us!
Thanking all my mentors, trainees and collaborators for discoveries leading to my election as a AAAS fellow this year for my "contributions to the field of cell biology, particularly in the areas of phase-separated condensates and the biophysics of the septin cytoskeleton"
