Great work Dr Amy Milne, and congratulations as well to the mentor, the one and only @noemipicco.bsky.social . The viva was just a great conversation about Amy's science
Congratulations to Dr Amy Milne for passing her PhD viva today! Thanks to the brilliant internal and external @cancerevo.org for contributing to the discussion! I’m a proud supervisor 🤩

What an honour to host @cancerevo.org at Swansea Uni, currently talking about his work “the only constant is change…in the tumour microenvironment”

you should quit social media if you can.
if you can't, you should use apps that give you and old-school reverse chronological feed of posts from people you follow. yes, like bluesky.

You should quit social media for good
Platforms optimized for engagement warp our politics, erode attention, and harm our wellbeing. Here’s how I minimize time on the (anti‑)social web.

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

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!

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!
