Will my Substack following grow exponentially?
Or is that an unattainable goal?

Very excited to share some life updates: in summer 2026 I will be starting as an Assistant Professor of Physics at University of Toronto! My group will study a range of problems in biophysics using nonequilibrium statistical mechanics—cellular signaling and adaptation, gene regulation, etc.

I haven't been very active here for several months, because I've been working on a new book. Soon I will be able to tell you about it. Is anyone out there interested?
