Buckling. Sounds ominous, doesn't it? Think bridges. But buckling can be a positive force and is common in nature. Marc SuΓ±Γ©'s research may enable us to use it in many more applications.

Transit time mean and variance are markers of vascular network structure, wall shear stress distribution and oxygen extraction fraction - Biomechanics and Modeling in Mechanobiology Perfusion measurements provide information about flow magnitude, but more detailed information is found from transit time distributions (TTD).

Fancy a pint of 3Rs science? As partners of @pintofscience.uk we have been sharing 3Rs advances in pubs and public spaces since 2014.

Our events this year explore the 3Rs in three different scientific themes, from technology to ecology and biomedical research: pintofscience.co.uk/sponsor/nc3rs

Our most successful social media film - yes, we confess we have other social media - stars Sam & Jon. They sound like a 60s soul act, but this Sam & Jon are Sam Howison & Jon Chapman & they are the Keepers of the Oxford Mathematics Toy Box. Here they are spinning a disc, specifically Euler's disc.

Our first #IMA journal paper! 😊 We showed Gibbs' measures of neural losses can satisfy the Poincare inequality - and this also holds when the loss is non-Lipschitz. This opens up the first way to get convergence of SGD on such nets *without restrictions on data or size*. πŸ’₯

The model underpins the VIRIS (Virtual Indoor Risk Infection Simulator) app, which is available at viris.app. VIRIS is aimed to architects, space managers and the public and allows to study the infection risk in new settings of choice.

We use the model to compare a series of non-pharmaceutical interventions in a care home and in a supermarket, after validating with a well-known court room case. Most of the interventions we studied are included in policy documents.

In today's lecture in my nonlinear dynamics and chaos course, I tried to give intuition for where chaos comes from. It's caused by repeated stretching and folding of phase space.
