Expanding the Palette of Mathematics in Biology

This past week, @wallaceucsf.bsky.social and I co-organized "Expanding the Palette of Mathematics in Biology" workshop at the @nitmb.bsky.social -- an experiment in interdisciplinary Math + Bio engagement and ideation beyond traditional approaches.

Expanding the Palette of Mathematics in Biology Navigate

Welcome to the final day of the ‘Expanding the Palette of Mathematics in Biology’ workshop!

We look forward to wrapping up the discussions and planning for the future of this area. Discover today’s schedule at www.nitmb.org/expanding-pa...

Yeah it was kind of nice to show where I have been at some workshops to my wife. I have not seen any turtles yet...

#Blacksky #WomeninSTEM

I said this over a year ago, but all countries need to boycott the Summer Olympics in the US. As for the world cup, any country planning to play in the US should demand a change in venue or boycott; this will not happen though.

Hey #MathSky, we just created a @code4math.org calendar which you can use to connect with us virtually or in person! This spring we will host a weekly open community office hour on Tuesdays!

Visit us at code4math.org/events to learn more or add our calendar to your own!

This is what it looks like when nearly 300 mathematical scientists from 47 states take their voices to capitol hill to advocate for research and education funding. Thank you to everyone who participated! Link in comments for more info.

Yes. Just tested positive for RSV.

Yeah, that is who I was thinking about as well. Part because of the NEIU connection but also I like what she has said so far. Both good options though, at least I think at this moment.

What are your thoughts? It would be nice to have more scientist and mathematicians in DC.

👋 See you next year!

As we near the end of 2025, we want to wish everyone in the NITMB community a safe and happy holiday season

We hope you enjoy a restful season as we look forward to a year of exciting work at the interface between mathematics and biology

Chiefs down to QB3, maybe they should ask Joe Montana to come back and finish out the season for them.

Need more cats and dogs in zoom calls.

I think we in the mathematics community have a lot to learn from the other disciplines, especially when it comes to pedagogy in higher ed.

Improving Collegiate Mathematics Teaching and Learning Through SoTL Published in PRIMUS: Problems, Resources, and Issues in Mathematics Undergraduate Studies (Ahead of Print, 2025)

My (first!) new paper published in PRIMUS is joint work with Jackie Dewar of Loyola Marymount and Megan Breit-Goodwin of Anoka-Ramsey CC. We provide results and analysis of a survey of SOTL practitioners in mathematics. #MetaMath

Alternative Grading in Large Classes How to implement pedagogical values within logistical constraints

Excited to share a guest post on my blog this week by Jayme Dyer, Katie Mattaini, and Eden Tanner about alt grading in large classes. This is something I get asked about all the time, so I'm glad to have an opportunity to share their work on the topic! emilypittsdonahoe.substack.com/p/alternativ...

Intro to qualitative #MetaMath work with @rachel-roca.bsky.social includes our #DisruptJMM analysis with @drew-lewis.com @nativemath.bsky.social and Stefanie Marshall.
What do influencers do? Turns out there are different types - Shapers, Thought leaders, and Netweavers.

Such an amazing talk! Thank you.

#AIM having fun doing some NMF on #disruptJMM data with @drew-lewis.com @mathprofcarrie.bsky.social

Yes, yes they did

Thank you for having me.

This morning at NITMB:

@nativemath.bsky.social, Associate Professor of Mathematics at Northeastern Illinois University, presents two examples of interdisciplinary biomathematics research projects at a PUI as part of the NITMB Seminar Series!

Do you have a math student who's graduating or recently graduated and has no plans for the spring? My department has some vacancies in our masters program we would love to fill! DMs and sclontz@southalabama.edu are open to learn more!
