Wrote a post outlining the step-by-step process of implementing a PINN for a simple one-dimensional heat transfer problem. I hope this approach makes the topic more accessible to undergraduate students and provides a clearer understanding of how they work.

Finally, people with mobility issues or pain don’t want to make a fuss. They might still be able to walk, just not stairs or long detours. But they don’t want to chase organizers to ask “Is there a step-free way to the bathroom?”
Good accessibility means they don’t have to ask.

Can we please discuss accessibility at conferences?
When organizers and schedules assume that everyone can walk fast and climb stairs, people with mobility issues (visible or invisible) might feel excluded.

The vaccine guidance process may be messy — but the science isn’t. A massive review (511 studies) published in the NEJM shows:
💉 Covid shots cut hospitalizations 46%(XBB1.5 variant) & 68%(KP.2 variant)
👶 RSV: 68%+ protection (>60yo)
🤧 Flu: 48% adults; 67% kids
Low side effects

BIG ANNOUNCEMENT
Just over 9 months ago I left WalesOnline to start this newsletter looking in depth at Welsh politics and Welsh issues.
The response to this has exceeded my wildest dreams and I have a really exciting announcement - an Investigative Journalism Fund.

How do we associate the flavors we experience during a meal 🍽️😋 with postingestive effects like food poisoning 🤢🤮 that arise much later?
Our answer in @nature.com this week: Illness signals from the gut reactivate and strengthen flavor representations in the amygdala.
