Some recent collab work exploring how phase transitions in movement persistence can lead to a statistical gain in sperm search efficiency🔥 #ReproRocks #ComplexSystems #ActiveMatter mdpi.com/1099-4300/27/5…
Now out in @PLOSCompBiol 🎉 We used multiagent models to explore how search for an egg emerges as a statistical property of sperm variation and used Bayes theorem to quantify selection. A single sperm wanders.. Many sperm compute🔥 #ReproRocks #Complexity youtube.com/shorts/H7RXWfA…

Book covers don't only communicate with their titles, they add 'intonation' with their fonts. 🤔 #ProcrastinatingInMyOffice

New paper now out in Physics Report: If you're interested in information theory, complex systems, and emergent properties, this is the paper for you: a comprehensive review paper designed to bring anyone up to speed on information theory for complex systems scientists.

There is a remarkable permanence to mathematical ideas. While other sciences regularly discard the outmoded, mathematical ideas build on predecessors without rendering them obsolete. -William Dunham, Journey Through Genius
My little book on Schrödinger's famous classic 'What Is Life?' is out today! It offers the most comprehensive analysis ever undertaken of the book's origins, reception, impact, and legacy. Please share; it is free to download for the next 2 weeks! cambridge.org/core/elements/…

Haven't watched it yet, but I'm certain it's interesting🔥🤘
An unscripted and wide-ranging conversation that ends with more questions than answers. In other words, the best kind of conversation. I’ve been following Balázs on X for almost 2 years. To be able to sit down in conversation with him has been an amazing opportunity. And…
Corey Maley's 'How and Why to think that the brain is literally a computer'. Analog representation is hands down the most empirically tractable model to explain and predict how biological systems solve problems through their structure and dynamics. frontiersin.org/journals/compu…

How long (on average) would fertilization take if only one sperm were inseminated at a time? About 1,902 years! No wonder evolution parallelized this process! Used a geometric distribution to estimate with 2 hrs per fertilization attempt and success probability of 12/10^8. #Maths
Trying to figure out if being a 40 yr old who listens to naughty by nature in the lab is age appropriate or age inappropriate🤔😂
"Our ideas are to be as broad as nature, if they are meant to describe nature herself" - Sherlock Holmes
Isaac Asimov advocated for the term 'generalization' over 'law' in his wonderful 1968 book 'Understanding Physics'... Much better framing IMO...
"We have no right to assume that any physical laws exist, or if they have existed up to now, that they will continue to exist in a similar manner in the future." — Max Planck, theoretical physicist with a Nobel Prize, "The Universe in the Light of Modern Physics" (1931)

Reviewed as a ‘fundamental’ discovery, this study identifies lymphatic muscle cells as innate pacemakers driving lymphatic pumping. elifesciences.org/articles/90679…
🌱 Using ‘compelling’ methods, including #CryoET, researchers mapped spinach thylakoid membranes at single-molecule precision, revealing how photosynthetic complexes are organised and settling long-standing debates on chloroplast architecture. elifesciences.org/articles/10549…
How does the metabolic adaptability of sperm cells suit them to the task of fertilization in an environment they are completely naive to? Check out my recent conversation with Melanie to find out! 🎙️🔥#ReproRocks
Could "on-demand" male birth control be a reality? Dr. Melanie Balbach discusses her groundbreaking work on a temporary contraceptive that blocks sperm function. This research could be a game-changer for reproductive health. Listen here 🎧 buzzsprout.com/1786803/episod…

"The public has a distorted view of science, because children are taught in school that science is a collection of firmly established truths. In fact, science is not a collection of truths. It is a continuing exploration of mysteries." —Freeman Dyson, NY Review of Books, 2011
