Biology in Numbers – Episode 3.8 With Denise Kirschner …where we talk: time at Los Alamos, modeling TB, and tips for international flights. Listen on Spotify: buff.ly/bTfdBWq Listen on Apple: buff.ly/rD8f6lD

Biology in Numbers – Episode 3.7 With Alicia Dickenstein …where we talk: biochemical reactions, world famous awards, and rainy days making soup by the beach. Listen on Spotify: buff.ly/Ig9y0pt Listen on Apple: buff.ly/CQkit9j

This time watch with the "sound off". I wish I had more time to make blooper reels from recordings, because you're missing out on gems like this with Veronica Ciocanel, the next guest for @smbmathbiology.bsky.social's podcast #BiologyInNumbers. This episode will be out next Tuesday!

Congratulations to each of these editors, and thank you for your contributions to the mathematical biology community!

Check out this really interesting preprint by @shikharabhat.bsky.social and @kokkonut.bsky.social on models of senescence and their connection to models of multilevel selection. It seems like these fun jump processes, PDEs, and SPDEs arise in a variety of biological contexts.

If you like multi-level selection, you may enjoy (models of) ageing. @kokkonut.bsky.social and I show that the mortality patterns generated by dem. senescence are formally equivalent to a multi-level selection process! arxiv.org/abs/2607.00262 Confused? So were we! A short explainer thread below
