1st day of the Workshop on Complex Flows and Complex Fluids #CNR within #SmartTurb @erc.europa.eu 100+ senior and young scientists working on #turbulence #activematter #biofluids #microfluidcs with equation based and #AI tools. A lot of fun. see biferale.web.roma2.infn.it/ComplexFlows...

Looks amazing! Shame I could not be there.

I would simply pay them in bottle tops and see whether the penny would drop.

I guess when areas do not have units, budgets do not need to balance either…

According to Financial Times, this puzzle was used by Dominic Cummings to select ‘innovators’ and ‘disruptors’ to work for the British Government.

I guess when areas do not have units, missing a few zeros in one’s budget is not such a big deal…

Out today in Phys. Rev. Research, we ask "how does an active nematic fluid respond to a deformable body or boundary?" We were pretty amused by a few observations. 1/20

Pseudo-giant number fluctuations and nematic order in microswimmer suspensions Giant number fluctuations (GNFs), whereby the standard deviation $ΔN$ in the local number of particles $\langle N \rangle$ grows faster than $\sqrt{\langle N \rangle}$, are a hallmark property of dry ...

Happy to share our recent preprint on (the absence of) giant number fluctuations in microswimmer suspensions.

Some pictures from yesterday’s Wim-van-Saarloos-70-fest at the Dutch academy @knaw-nl.bsky.social. Happy birthday, Wim!

NB it’s the same room as where Pauli received his Lorentz medal.

Mooie dag vandaag bij de @knaw-nl.bsky.social. Oud-voorzitter Prof. Wim van Saarloos is vandaag 70 geworden en hij wordt geëerd met een symposium.
Wim heeft enorm veel bijgedragen aan de natuurkunde en aan de NL wetenschap in het geheel.
Van harte, Wim!

In Memory of Andy Acrivos: CEMS Alum and Titan of Chemical Engineering Andreas (Andy) Acrivos passed away on February 17, 2025. Born in Greece in 1928, Prof. Acrivos arrived at Minnesota in 1950 following undergraduate studies at Syracuse University, becoming the  second...

Championing Mathematical Physics in Edinburgh Professor Steve Tobias appointed Tait Chair of Mathematical Physics.

It is a great honour to take up the Tait Chair of Mathematical Physics at @edinburgh-uni.bsky.social. I will arrive in June 2025.

Celebrating two fantastic colleagues tonight at #NWOPhysics. With the Athena award for Prof. Liesbeth Janssen and the Minerva prize for Prof. Hanneke Gelderblom, this is a great evening for TU Eindhoven! ⚛️

Oh yes!!!

Together with the Isaac Newton Institute, we are running a programme aiming to help Ukrainian researchers in mathematical sciences. Please help to spread the word.

Bacterial rheotaxis is ENHANCED in non-Newtonian fluids! This work is in collaboration with Arnold Mathijssen and Albane Thery. Read more about our experiments and simulations in our new PNAS manuscript at pnas.org/doi/10.1073/...

This is how one teaches homogenisation.

Our paper on Majorana quasiparticles in active nematics is out.
