Our newest preprint investigates the impact of electric fields on cell-cell interactions! ⚡️🦠HINT: it changes things! 😆 Read this work with @simonmape here 👉 biorxiv.org/content/10.1101/… @OxUniMaths @WCMBlog

Electrotaxis disrupts patterns of cell-cell interactions of human corneal epithelial cells in vitro

Electrotaxis, the process by which eukaryotic cells establish a polarity and move directionally along an electric field, is a well-studied mechanism to steer the migration of cells in vitro and in...

Trying to decide where to go first this morning at #smb2024 and like spatial data? Come along to our minisymposium in room 107 at 10am - highly spatially correlated with the coffee stands for your convenience

It's that time of year again! No, not Christmas - I meant the @OxfordCancer annual symposium Hosted by @OxUniMaths this year, and with a huge @WCMBlog turnout too.

A fun morning of public engagement at @WCMBlog for @OxUniMaths masterclasses today - lots of fractals and Turing patterns! Plus an attempt to turn a lecture theatre full of year 9s into a differential adhesion model that worked surprisingly well (paper shows where they ended up!)

Our new preprint: how can biological systems use multiple compartments to regulate or “smooth” behaviour when subject to a stochastic input? 👉 arxiv.org/pdf/2305.09004.pdf Joint work with @adrianne_jenner @ruth_baker @PhilipMaini @WCMBlog

It's almost as much of a cliché to say maths is not just sums & slog as to say it is. The Oxford Maths Festival doesn't care about definitions. Puzzles, games, craft & @TimHarford making sense of the world. Call it what you like. Ages 0-116. 13 & 14 May: mathsfest.web.ox.ac.uk/

Some people don't like it easy. Which is a relief because there are a lot of tough problems around. Oxford Mathematician Jess Crawshaw likes things to be difficult as she explains in our latest 'Me and My Maths' film.

Ever wanted an interactive lightning-fast solver for models in physics, chemistry, or biology? Do you have a web browser? I'm thrilled to announce VIsualPDE.com, built explicitly to solve PDE models interactively on most devices, written by @bj_w95 @Pecnut and I.

VisualPDE

VisualPDE brings interactive science and mathematics to the web. Explore examples like waves and reaction—diffusion patterns, or create your own simulation.
