Save the date #MathOnco25! October 29th-31st in Tampa, Florida. Directly before the 13th IMO Workshop (November 3rd-7th) - stay the weekend and brainstorm the beaches! More information to follow but @evoltherapy.bsky.social will be a key theme @mathonco.bsky.social @moffittnews.bsky.social

What a great #Abelprize week again! Congratulations Prof Kashiwara!

OCBE newsletter, April 2025 - Institute of Basic Medical Sciences Welcome to the OCBE newsletter! This month we showcase our recent publications on environmental exposures and cancer risk, drug repurposing, bacterial DNA sequencing and much more.

We have started a new monthly newsletter, the OCBE newsletter!!! where will be showcasing our recent publications and other relevant news. Check out the first edition here:

I am very excited to start my new roles as associate professor @uio.no @ocbe.bsky.social and group leader at the Oslo University Hospital (Departmemt of Medical Genetics). This would have not been possible without the support and help of all my mentors, colleagues and collaborators. Thank you all!

Scientists fight Norway’s language law, warning of talent exodus Mandatory language courses for foreign researchers could harm Norway’s ability to attract the best talent, Nobel laureate says, as rule prompts legal challenge.

This law is totally insane! Let's push back this nonsense!

Follow this interesting and needed discussion about peer review. My take, let’s each of us in our own roles keep all the good things but also start eliminating all the negative aspects and bad practices related to peer review, which are many!

Peeking into the future: inferring mechanics in dynamical tissues Cells exert forces on each other and their environment, shaping the tissue. The resulting mechanical stresses can be determined experimentally or estimated computationally using stress inference metho...

Excited to share this mini-review on dynamic mechanical stress inference of tissues written with @borgesaugust.bsky.social!!

Congratulations also to the supervisors @alvarokohn.bsky.social and Arnoldo Frigessi!

Congratulations to Dr Even Myklebust for a wonderful PhD defence! @ocbe.bsky.social www.med.uio.no/imb/english/...

We're continually surprised by which scientific investigations lead to practical benefits. This is the story about how investigating how electric fields affect bacterial growth led to the development of the stalwart chemotherapy drug cisplatin 🧪

Thank you!

Could you please add me?

I have been very fortunate to supervise the PhD thesis of Even Moa Myklebust. He will defend his thesis on December 9th in front of a superb committee and will do his trial lecture about Bayesian neural networks in biomedical applications. Don’t miss it if you are in Oslo @uio.no @ocbe.bsky.social

Quarto An open source technical publishing system for creating beautiful articles, websites, blogs, books, slides, and more. Supports Python, R, Julia, and JavaScript.

I feel like not enough people know about Quarto for creating documents.

OCBE is preparing to leave the dark social media. To help you connect with our community here 🦋, me made a starter pack with present and past OCBE members, a list that will probably will grow soon 😊 go.bsky.app/6bqMnLQ

Resharing my attempt at a #mathbio starter pack for those (millions?!) of people who've joined in the last week!

Please let me know if you'd like to be added (I've not kept up with the incoming hordes well)
