Some recent collab work exploring how phase transitions in movement persistence can lead to a statistical gain in sperm search efficiency🔥 #ReproRocks #ComplexSystems #ActiveMatter.
Now out in @PLOSCompBiol 🎉 We used multiagent models to explore how search for an egg emerges as a statistical property of sperm variation and used Bayes theorem to quantify selection. A single sperm wanders. Many sperm compute🔥 #ReproRocks #Complexity.

Omg yes!.
Quick update. People often email me for a podcast link. I didn't have a podcast, until now! Here it is:. I have no time or know-how to do that but the amazing Adi & Sai (from AI Podcasting) transformed my YouTube content into a complete podcast setup -.

I've worked with scientists and academics from a variety of countries. They are consistently surprised at how incapable American students are of doing even simple maths.

Updated color scheme😅 Gotta figure out how to add a vignette effect and dust🤔
Added matplotlib animations to the analog emulator oscilloscope😊 #FunWithModels .Little tutorial (ipynb) on these in my #PythonUtils repo.

I've added a diode component class⚡️ Boy did I learn some things about linear approximation in the process😅 Next up transistors! Model details (.ipynb) are fully updated. #FunWithModels

A mechanical watch is powered by a mainspring. Wind the mainspring and the gears slow the rate of energy dissipation, approximating the passage of time (in mins and secs). Without the mainspring the gears are useless, without the gears the mainspring is useless. That's Life🔥.
Y'all, I think #mitochondria are cool too. But they are not the key to everything biological. That's shortsighted, and frankly, f#cking ridiculous. Same for microtubules🙄 #Bioenergetics #Biochemistry.

This is the basis of analog computing, which preceded digital computing. The biology question is: under what conditions does an analog computer gain the ability to compute toward its own ends?.

A many-to-one mapping of physical states to system states should be at the core of the theory of biology. I made an example of how this can work with an inductor-capacitor circuit and a Newtonian mass-spring system (👉Model_Details .ipynb). #FunWithModels

Interesting anecdote about where minutes and seconds come from🤔 from Silvanus Thompson's 1914 classic 'calculus made easy'. #maths
