I've started some light reading of a classic. 🧪 #mathbio #mathonco

I'm inspired by great collaborators with @coussenslab.bsky.social, @fertiglab.bsky.social, Laura Heiser, and others to delve deeper and improve my immunology fundamentals.

In an unusual turn of events, AI search seems to lack self confidence.

Just some sampling of the very fine detail.

Pleiades (Messier 45), 2025 edition.

This gorgeous reflection nebula is high

This combines 36 hours of imaging on a 115mm triplet across 2024 and 2025, taken from my Indiana backyard. 🔭🧪

It was cloudy in Bloomington last night, but we did manage to catch traces of last night's Kp7 aurora. Original photo straight off the camera (left), and minor photoshop work to bring out the pillar (right). 🔭

Here's a faster shutter speed and increased ISO to catch the snowflakes a bit better. I definitely expect an impact on Smurf yields

It's snowing on our Smurf habitat. Smokes Smurf jerky production may be impacted.

Honestly, speaking on a panel at the National Press Club is a bucket list item for me. What a thrill!

My inner NPR nerd self is geeking out.

And now my heart friends and collaborators @fertiglab.bsky.social and Lisa Coussens are up! #NFCR 🧪

Really thrilled to be at the National Press Club today for the NFCR Summit on Cancer Care.

My great friend @sandyanderson.bsky.social is on the first panel on AI and cancer care. I'll be on the next panel. :-) 🧪

Always a thrill to see my dear friend @sandyanderson.bsky.social present his groundbreaking work in model-guided adaptive cancer therapy at this year's @jktgfoundation.bsky.social breast cancer symposium. 🧪

So proud of this multidisciplinary project, showing in particular the power of community science when enabled by user-friendly design, bolstering deep expertise.

In the 2024 solar eclipse, 11k observations from 1700 laypeople via a jointly developed, user-friendly smartphone app.🔭🧪

Coffee mug Saturday! In the grand tradition of @gbosslet.bsky.social, post your Saturday mug.

Thrilled this survived the flight home last week. :-)

Had a nice clear moonless night in Bloomington! Getting calibration frames after a night of 180" filterless exposures on Barnard 150. 🔭

Excited to be this week's cover for the Math Oncology Blog (# 345): a 3D @physicell.bsky.social simulation written entirely in a new model grammar without code.

Jointly made with @heberlr.bsky.social, based on our recent @cp-cell.bsky.social paper. #Mathonco #mathbio 🧪

Great friend and collaborator @gibin.bsky.social presenting @physicell.bsky.social models of growth and treatment!

Work by recent PhD @sam-m-oliver.bsky.social at Swansea.

@simonwalkersamuel.bsky.social giving a neat talk on creating synthetic vascular networks!!

Back at the Isaac Newton Institute this morning for the final day of our digital twin workshop. Starting off with a superstar and great friend Trachette Jackson, presenting her work to create virtual patient cohort for virtual immunotherapy trials. 🧪
September 19, 2025 at 8:48 AM
Good friend @sandyanderson.bsky.social is giving the 1st keynote address on virtual cancer trials, virtual tumor boards, and using patient-calibrated models to plan individual treatments to delay therapeutic resistance.

Groundbreaking work making a difference in real patient trails! #mathonco
