Silence is indefensible in the face of efforts to dismantle the institutions, norms, and values that lets science serve everyone. Thank you for the historical reminder, @philipcball.bsky.social

This short course was spearheaded by Emma, and coorganized by myself, Annie Stephenson, and Guillaume Falmagne

Consider signing up for our short course on the Physics of Human Social Systems at the APS Global Summit!

Lectures by Luis Bettencourt and Jean-Philippe Bouchaud and tutorials by @mathemmatician.bsky.social and myself.

At an excellent (and lively) meeting @nitmb.bsky.social on learning in biological systems. Enjoy the view of Lake Michigan

I do my best work in conversation with people, so I wouldn't have been able to do any of this without my collaborators and advisors, who are all, objectively, The Best ❤️

If it thinks and moves -- I'm interested!

Happy to be here and feel free to reach out anytime :)

I've also worked on a number of models of non-reciprocal spin systems, exhibiting "vision-cone" like interactions (10.1088/1742-5468/accce7), or multi-species waves (arXiv:2307.08251) and oscillations (aXiv:2311.05471)

I've also worked on energy dissipation in subcellular structures, most recently in the excitable, mechanochemical oscillations of Xenopus oocytes (rdcu.be/d1wWy)

Most of my postdoc has focused on developing a hydrodynamic theory of human residential dynamics. Combining geographical data analysis, machine learning, and both continuum & agent-based models, we find some interesting universality in the movement of people

I should introduce myself! My name is Danny -- I am a postdoc at UChicago (currently on the faculty job market 🤘). I'm a data-oriented theorist interested in the mechanics and dynamics of living systems, from cells to societies. See below for some research highlights.
