The #NobelPrize in Physics acknowledging (once again) that Physics is not “only” about materials, subatomic particles, etc. it is also about machine learning, neuroscience, ecology … Statistical mechanics in action! and we have many challenges still ahead!
BREAKING NEWS
The Royal Swedish Academy of Sciences has decided to award the 2024 #NobelPrize in Physics to John J. Hopfield and Geoffrey E. Hinton “for foundational discoveries and inventions that enable machine learning with artificial neural networks.”

Nature is surprised academic lineages coalesce if you go back far enough 😂
This is yet another example of something that appears surprising and informative, but it’s actually just a lack of a useful null model being specified.

New paper I'm extremely proud of: "Extended time, elevated expectations: The unappreciated downsides of pausing the tenure clock". We argue that extensions should be treated as a safety net, not insurance policy (1/6) pnas.org/doi/full/10.1073/pn…

Curious about what sorts of crazy things cells get up to in the wild? We've found over the past few years cellular slime molds do all sorts of amazing things in complex, naturalistic environments and are looking for experimental and theory postdocs (1/4)
