Oh man, life is so hard sometimes. Praying for you ♥️

Some MuSpAn fun with @visualpde.com !

MuSpAn: A Toolbox for Multiscale Spatial Analysis Advances in multiplex imaging and spatial omics have revolutionised spatial data generation in biology, revealing complex tissue organisation across multiple scales. However, methods for analysing the...

Our new MuSpAn preprint is now live, featuring additional examples and with expanded supplementary information: doi.org/10.1101/2024...

This accompanies the release today of v1.2.0 of MuSpAn with new features, optimisations, and bug fixes: docs.muspan.co.uk/latest/Insta...

I am entirely blaming the @oxfordmathematics.bsky.social social media team for getting me to do this beautiful beautiful video 😂🎷

I feel seen 😍🫖

Be careful what you wish for, you might get one for Christmas 😆

Looks like with any luck we might manage to be #DoneByOctober! Although I'm told we have 421 pieces to go...🫣

I wish I could like this post more than once!

(Not to mention some lovely @physicell.bsky.social simulations, of course!)

Lovely to have a talk on home turf from the great @mathcancer.bsky.social, presenting some of his developments around a grammar for developing agent based models!

If that sounds interesting, check out the paper here:

I have to admit that if I'm wearing my Garmin then I don't bother with this conversion...instead I now spend most of the time trying to work out my average pace based on how many cumulative seconds over/under target pace I've been each kilometre 😆

Pffft, rounding is for non runners

You should have seen the outtakes 😅

What do I look like, a historian?! 😅🫣

A reminder that "very keen" ≠ "good" 🏃‍♀️😅

Great start to day two of #UKMathBio - after @profruthbaker.bsky.social's opening talk we now have Katie Bentley from @crick.ac.uk introducing us to the lunatic fringe hidden in the mouse retina...

Great first talk of #mathonco session 2 at #UKMathBio from Alexis Farman, who has been modelling B-ALL

We're back up and running after lunch - after David Rand's talk on the neural tube (which I forgot to get a photo for, sorry) we're now hearing about Weini Huang's work on ecDNA #UKMathBio

Our final talk of the morning at #UKMathBio is from Nikolaos Sfakianakis, who presents some very cool (and slightly gruesome) modelling of a hybrid 3D framework to describe tumour metastasis

Now time for @kitcgallagher.bsky.social on cool work with @mathonco.bsky.social on clinically applicable mathematical biomarkers using a Lotka-Volterra model #UKMathBio

The first set of parallel sessions are kicking off now at #UKMathBio - this morning I'm in the #mathonco session, kicked off by Einar Bjarki Gunnarsson on optimal dosing strategies

Next up at #UKMathBio is @gibin.bsky.social with our first foray of the conference into #mathonco, with hybrid ABMs modelling the bystander effect in radiotherapy

Now Anne Skeldon is here to tell us how bad getting up at 6am to come to #UKMathBio was 😅 - Mathematical modelling of sleep for healthy human function in the 21st century

(We're only 13 minutes in but if you're interested in exploring approaches to linking imaging and modelling from another perspective then I'll put a cheeky plug in for my talk on www.muspan.co.uk tomorrow afternoon!)

First up at #UKMathBio is Tiina Roose, who makes a great case that maths can be central to every stage of experimental data collection, particularly imaging! #MathBio shouldn't just be an endpoint where we take fully processed experiments and model them completely separately from everything else

Packed room for the start of the first #UKMathBio conference - looks like the rain hasn't put people off the trip to Birmingham!

Judging by the weather, I think we've found out where Birmingham Float is

I'll track them down!
