- Reposted by Cameron A. Schmidt PhD (He/Him) 🇺🇲Please help share and encourage trainees to attend!! SSR is launching a new initiative where trainee first authors share their recently published work and discuss their publishing experiences. I’ll be moderating the first session, presented by my colleague and friend Ryan from NIEHS 🤩
- 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. www.frontiersin.org/journals/com...
- 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 #ReproRocks
- Cool paper modeling local self organization by enzymes depending on local substrate concentration. Macromolecules only do one thing... Stick to stuff. The range of behaviors that simple property produces is astounding. #ComplexSystems #Biochemistry journals.aps.org/prxlife/abst...
- #Repro friends, I'm hosting a series of podcasts for @ssrepro.bsky.social ! In this series we'll explore how scientists from different fields approach the study of sperm, eggs, and embryos! First episode with Dr. Pablo Visconti! Link below or wherever you get your🎙️ ssr.org/ssr-resource...

- What a biological system does at any given moment is encoded by evolution, but entrained by circumstance. All of our experiments necessarily shape the behaviors we observe. This lack of useful reference point is what makes experimental biology difficult. #ComplexSystems
- Just listened to an incredibly interesting conversation on the Jim Rutt show about representation and some potentially relevant concepts for the future of machine intelligence scaling. The biological implications really resonated with me🤔 #ComplexSystems www.jimruttshow.com/ken-stanley-3/
- William Bialek on emergence of macroscopic behaviors as an evolving theme in physics👏🔥 #ComplexSystems journals.aps.org/prxlife/abst...
- Reposted by Cameron A. Schmidt PhD (He/Him) 🇺🇲We're looking for a Postdoctoral Fellow in Machine Learning & Women’s Health in partnership with MIT’s Female Medicine through Machine Learning (FMML fmml.mit.edu ) to build multi-modal ML models related to ovarian aging and its impact on overall health using large, real-world datasets.
