It always seems a little unfair to boil a week long workshop into 5 minutes or less, but these videos are always a fun way to capture the spirit of #MoffittIMO.
And to get a feel of how participating on these workshops is like then @parmvir.com is the person behind these @scientistsinc.org's videos, expect this year's to come at some point in 2026;

The moment of truth at the @mathonco.bsky.social #MoffittIMO workshop when the 5 groups deliver their final presentations. Before that @sandyanderson.bsky.social has a few words about the department, @moffittnews.bsky.social and shows our @scientistsinc.org video with last year's edition

Only a few hours left of this year's @mathonco.bsky.social #MoffittIMO workshop at @moffittnews.bsky.social and the teams I visited are doing just fine, thank you very much #MathOnco #AI #Cancer

Just going around some of the groups working at the @moffittnews.bsky.social @mathonco.bsky.social #MoffittIMO 2025 and the energy is palpable! I think the judges on Friday morning are going to be blown away by the ideas these guys are working on!

Last speaker at #MathOnco25 is our own @mathonco.bsky.social Jeffrey West that provides a study of the #mathonco literature to produce this definition of MathOnco: the use of interpretable models to understand and improve cancer therapy

Great last didactic at #MathOnco25 by @andriy-marusyk.bsky.social describing the complex landscape of evolutionary and ecological mechanisms aiding cancers become treatment-resistant. Andriy and I both share the idea of maps as an example of what models can be

4th (and last) day of #MathOnco25. Excellent work @sandyanderson.bsky.social and @gliomath.bsky.social. Looking forward the next one, hopefully in 2026

Last keynote at #MathOnco25 by Sarah Bruningk talking about #AI in #Medicine. While generally optimistic about AI in medicine she is aware of the challenge that AI works best when there is a lot of data and that is almost never the case in clinical oncology

Thursday keynote at #MathOnco25 with @robjohnnoble.bsky.social showing a wealth of #MathOnco models of cancer evolution and evolutionary-enlightened therapies. Notice the bingo card: he showed enough different math models to fill up the card!
