Just pulling in to Glasgow for a week at @cruk-si.bsky.social - we're running a MuSpAn training week for the MRC Mouse Genetics Network, looking forward to a week of talking all things spatial biology, maths, and MuSpAn!

We just advertised the Hooke Fellowships for exceptional researchers (typically after their first post-doc).

You are completely free to set up your own research agenda for three years.

RT please

WE'VE ONLY GONE AND DONE IT!!!

(Apart from the two pieces that have sadly gone missing in the last 2.5 years 😅🥲)

If you're at #ESSB2025 and are curious about alternative existing tools with the capacity to combine cell networks into larger objects for further analysis, and much much more, please come and talk to me about #MuSpAn at poster 58 this afternoon

@sergiosdhi.bsky.social takes to the #ESSB2025 stage to demonstrate TopROI, a new mathematical tool for preserving structure when dividing large point clouds into multiple regions of interest! #EMBLSpatialBiology

Great to see some exciting applications of #MuSpAn in action in @pathologop.bsky.social's talk at #ESSB2025 today!

Come and say hi if you'd like to find out more about the software, or to have a chat about how MuSpAn might be able to help with your data analysis :) #EMBLSpatialBiology

Lots of opportunities to chat about #MuSpAn at #ESSB2025 this week!

In the Wednesday poster session go find Josh at p151, and come and talk to me at p58 on Thursday!
Looking forward to a busy week of spatial biology at EMBL. If you’re at #ESSB2025 and interested spatial analysis and/or its use for identifying drug response, come find me at p151 (helix b)

We're exploring spatial biology at multiple scales here today - the auditorium is huge, but the powerpoint presentation is several orders of magnitude smaller

Just pulling into Heidelberg for #EMBLSpatialBiology #ESSB2025... Really looking forward to meeting more of the #SpatialBiology community this week!

If you want to chat with a friendly mathematician, do say hi if you see me wandering around, or drop me a message on here and we can coordinate :)

I am entirely blaming the @oxfordmathematics.bsky.social social media team for getting me to do this beautiful beautiful video 😂🎷
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?

Lovely to have a talk on home turf from the great @mathcancer.bsky.social, presenting some of his developments around a grammar for developing agent based models!

If that sounds interesting, check out the paper here:

A reminder that "very keen" ≠ "good" 🏃‍♀️😅
It's a little-known fact that Fibonacci was a keen marathon runner.

Okay, he wasn't but he could be an invaluable help if you are a keen marathon runner.

@joshuabull.bsky.social is very keen.

Great start to day two of #UKMathBio - after @profruthbaker.bsky.social's opening talk we now have Katie Bentley from @crick.ac.uk introducing us to the lunatic fringe hidden in the mouse retina...

Great first talk of #mathonco session 2 at #UKMathBio from Alexis Farman, who has been modelling B-ALL

We're back up and running after lunch - after David Rand's talk on the neural tube (which I forgot to get a photo for, sorry) we're now hearing about Weini Huang's work on ecDNA #UKMathBio
