⏳ The registration deadline for #INCTN2025 is fast approaching — 31 Aug!
Don’t miss the chance to join us in Padova 🇮🇹 this September for exciting neuroscience discussions 🧠✨
👉 Register here: registrations.meetandwork.co…
ℹ️ More info: incn.it/registration/
🚀 New research alert! 🚀
Led by @jack_bjo @gnicoletti09 @dbusiello1, our latest work in Physical Review Letters (journals.aps.org/prl/abstrac…) reveals how excitation-inhibition balance tunes the timescale of information coding in neuronal populations! 🧠🔬
#Balanced excitatory and inhibitory neuron activity is crucial for optimal brain #InformationProcessing, enhancing encoding efficiency and stability, according to recent findings in neuroscience. @physrevlett doi.org/g87h5w phys.org/news/2025-03-optima…
Open position in our group!
🚨 Postdoc Opportunity! 🚨
Join @LIPh_Lab for a 2-year postdoc on soil microbiome resilience! We combine macroecology, metagenomics & modeling to study how agri-practices & climate stressors shape microbial communities.
🔗 Start by Dec 2025. Ref: sandro dot azaele at unipd dot it
Check out our latest research! We apply the framework of annealed disorder to ecological modeling 👇
PREPRINT OUT 💡
We show how consumer-resource communities with colored-noise fluctuations violate the competitive exclusion principle and give rise to realistic ecological structures

🚨New paper alert! Insights into disordered systems 🌀
What happens when interactions fluctuate in time 🫨 instead of staying fixed 🥶?
We explore annealed disorder—a new twist over quenched disorder—in which interactions are stochastic processes...

Can a simple stochastic differential equation accurately describe specific features of microbiome growth-rate distribution?
The work "Growth-rate distributions of gut microbiota time series", developed with S. Azaele during my visit at @LIPh_Lab, is out: rdcu.be/d67S9
PhD lab meetings are back 🤩 Our Davide @_dzanc presented his latest and hottest research on annealed consumer-resource models. Great work! 👏
Another banger from the lab just published in Physical Review Letters! Check out Samir’s thread below👇
Excited to share latest work of @LIPh_Lab out in @PhysRevLett! We’ve taken a fresh look at ecological community dynamics by extending the generalized Lotka-Volterra (GLV) model to include temporal stochastic fluctuations in species interactions. Link: journals.aps.org/prl/abstrac… 1/3
Fresh from the lab! Our own Jacopo 🤠 led this very insightful paper on StatPhys x Gut microbiome. Check out the thread below! 👇🧵
📢📢📢 PAPER ALERT📢📢📢
I'm glad to share with y'all my first peer-reviewed paper! I, @SamirSuweis, and our collaborators tried to answer the question: what makes healthy and diseased gut microbiomes different? A thread on our stat.phys. answer 🧵1/n

💡LIPh @ Science4All @UniPadova: Davide Bernardi, @alice_doimo and @MarikaSa_ are illustrating complex systems from everyday life 🐟🚗🌳 Stand 57, Piazza Garibaldi, Padova: open today until 19:00, tomorrow from 10:00 to 14:00! #science4all #unipd – at Padova, Veneto
💡Research from the lab was just published in Physical Review Letters! Our own Sandro Azaele and Amos Maritan study non-Gaussian disorder in dynamical systems, with applications to ecological modelling: doi.org/10.1103/PhysRevLett.…

PREPRINT OUT 💡
We explore how neutral and non-neutral models describe community patterns observed in strongly perturbed forests ecosystems

🚨 A Jacobian geometry induced by general network-driven processes? Yes!
Our latest work led by @jack_bjo w/ @oriartime @SamirSuweis @manlius84 introduces the Jacobian distance to unravel how functional organization depends on structure + dynamics!

🚨 NEW PREPRINT 🚨
Happy to share our work with @ada_altieri & @SamirSuweis! We inferred the parameters of the Disordered Generalized Lotka-Volterra (dgLV) model to compare healthy and chronically inflamed gut microbiomes.
🧵A thread 🧵
arxiv.org/abs/2406.07465
On June 13th, 16.30 CEST, @EmanuelePigani will explore delay effects on the stability of large ecosystems, as part of the Young Seminars SIFS series @FIS_STAT

PoLS2024 comes to a close! Five days of Physics of Living Systems at ICTP, ranging from molecular mechanisms to macroecology and neuroscience: we are grateful for all the people, ideas, discussions
🧬🦠🌳🧠
Samir, Davide Z., Emanuele, Davide B. and Samuele presented their work
Davide Bernardi presented LiPhlab's work on how metapopulation models predict the transition from monodominance to coexistence in spatially disordered landscapes
Samuele Lipani (@casuale_persona) explored the effect of conformational memory on the tension profile of DNA under loop extrusion
