Kimia Witte

We had the Lab Class in the lab yesterday.
Thank you Tenovus Scotland, @lornahm.bsky.social, @nereacaro.bsky.social, Juni, Amy, Connie, and Noble

Venice to Rome in five rainy days!

It was fun hosting David Weitz in sunny Glasgow! Between visits to two whiskey distilleries, he gave a talk on ‘Cell Rheology, Revisited’, showing how living systems exploit soft matter physics, especially phase separation, for diverse filament dynamics. The group also recorded a podcast with him.

Excited to welcome Professor David Weitz to the University of Strathclyde's Wolfson Centre—home to the UK’s oldest academic department dedicated to biomedical engineering—for a guest talk on April 2nd, from 10:00 to 12:00. All are welcome to attend.

Monkey business (with Dr Kimia Witte)

Here's a new illustration I drew of @kimiawitte.bsky.social for the latest episode of the CeMi podcast. Go have a listen! @theglasgowcemi.bsky.social

What actually got you into science and what you do now?

Me: There was no beginning, it was always science..

Also, for creating the opportunity to catch up with David Jordan @livingphysics.org and for the book exchanges that took place in the hotel reception.

And for postponing your group meeting by a few minutes when I showed up unannounced!

Thank you, Kirsty @micromotility.bsky.social and the sponsor, ARIA @aria-research.bsky.social, for organising the diverse collective assembly for the Biological Computation Away Day at RAMM, Exeter. Looking forward to the follow-up and more!

Our very own beautifully talented PhD student, Lorna @lornahm.bsky.social, has won the Institute of Physics and Engineering in Medicine (IPEM) award for the best MSc project for her work on “Active Nematics in Biological Systems”, completed during her master’s with us. 🌱

My beautiful PhD students know the foodie me (very) well! 🎈

Beautiful brains and whiskey!

We had the privilege of hosting Ben Goult @bengoult.bsky.social in Strathclyde/Glasgow, invited by Carsten @carstenschulte4.bsky.social, to discuss his beautiful MeshCODE theory.

Our very own David Shaw presented his poster at the SUPA Physics and Life Sciences Theme Meeting on “Modular & Reconfigurable Acoustofluidic Devices for Acoustic Streaming Induced Blood-Brain-Barrier Opening” : )

The Cell-Based Computation team is expanding! This week, we are delighted to welcome Adam Dowdell, a mathematical biologist with expertise in chemotaxis and statistical mechanics, as our new Research Associate.

May I?

Curious about this community — can I be added to the pack?
