And a seminar on heart cell networks and rogue oscillators 🫀

Tour of the old library included…

What a treat to be back in St John’s and catch up with the legendary @zoltan-molnar.bsky.social and Philip Maini!

Congratulations to Dr Amy Milne for passing her PhD viva today! Thanks to the brilliant internal and external @cancerevo.org for contributing to the discussion! I’m a proud supervisor 🤩

What an honour to host @cancerevo.org at Swansea Uni, currently talking about his work “the only constant is change…in the tumour microenvironment”

A reminder to myself and other women in science to honour nonlinear paths and the pauses, and to keep the torch burning *especially* when everything feels too much or too late.

Proud to share our work on environmentally-mediated drug resistance now published in Communications Biology rdcu.be/ez1lS Huge thanks to my brilliant co-authors Philip, @sandyanderson.bsky.social and @andriy-marusyk.bsky.social !

This paper took the scenic route to publication: paused for maternity leave, rerouted by other work priorities, and finally dusted off like a forgotten treasure in the attic when my brilliant student Amy came on board.

Why academia is sleepwalking into self-destruction. My editorial @brain1878.bsky.social If you agree with the sentiments please repost. It's important for all our sakes to stop the madness

If you're a PhD student interested in using maths to understand cancer, this HCEMM summer school in Szeged, Hungary, is an excellent opportunity.

Registration is free and local costs are covered, so apply before 15th April.

Experiencing some mild FOMO! Thanks for sharing your work, indeed we should talk, let's make sure we are in the same side of the globe at the same time!

If, like me, you couldn't make it in person, here's a preprint of our work doi.org/10.21203/rs....

If you are at ECMTB2024 and curious about the role of tumour microenvironment mediated drug resistance in facilitating the spatial distribution of residual disease, head to Salón de Grados in Building Sabatini on Friday at 10:40 for my brilliant PhD student Amy Milne's talk!
