Buckling. Sounds ominous, doesn't it? Think bridges. But buckling can be a positive force and is common in nature. Marc Suñé's research may enable us to use it in many more applications.

The Pint of Science logo (a brain wearing glasses in a pint glass) overlaid on a collage of icons representing 3Rs approaches.
Fancy a pint of 3Rs science? As partners of @pintofscience.uk we have been sharing 3Rs advances in pubs and public spaces since 2014.
Our events this year explore the 3Rs in three different scientific themes, from technology to ecology and biomedical research: pintofscience.co.uk/sponsor/nc3rs

This is figure 1, which shows the design of injectable, self-powered, bioresorbable cardiac pacemakers with wireless, optoelectronic control.
A paper in Nature presents a temporary pacemaker smaller than a grain of rice capable of mediating effective cardiac pacing in animal models and human heart tissues. https://go.nature.com/3E4Trt6 #medsky 🧪
Our most successful social media film - yes, we confess we have other social media - stars Sam & Jon. They sound like a 60s soul act, but this Sam & Jon are Sam Howison & Jon Chapman & they are the Keepers of the Oxford Mathematics Toy Box. Here they are spinning a disc, specifically Euler's disc.

Beautiful new paper with Yang Liu and Alain Goriely, inspired by the work of Andrew K. Schulz

Sure - sharing now!
Many congratulations Anirbit! This work is beautiful.

Our first #IMA journal paper! 😊 We showed Gibbs' measures of neural losses can satisfy the Poincare inequality - and this also holds when the loss is non-Lipschitz. This opens up the first way to get convergence of SGD on such nets *without restrictions on data or size*. 💥
It is quite ironic that my circadian rhythm was disturbed after reading Arthur Winfree's 'The Geometry of Biological Time' before bed. It is a fascinating book though.

Excited to announce the first UK Maths Bio Conference 4-5 September in Birmingham ukmathbioconference.github.io . Registration will open in a few weeks, save the date! Thanks to my amazing co-organisers Valeria, Kyle, Rachel and Phil for all their work planning the conference.
📢 Outstanding PhD student wanted! 🤓
The successful candidate will be based at The University of Manchester Dept. of CS ✨ to work on learning theory and methods for novel types of distributional shifts, co-supervised with @samikaski.bsky.social

We would like to thank Drs Rob Orford and Brendan Collins for fruitful discussions while they held appointments at the Welsh Government.
The work stems from an interdisciplinary collaboration between mathematics (Led by Drs @katerinakaouri.bsky.social and @thomasewoolley.bsky.social) architecture (Professor Wassim Jabi @topologic.app) at Cardiff University and is funded by an @ukri.org EPSRC Impact Acceleration Account grant.
The model underpins the VIRIS (Virtual Indoor Risk Infection Simulator) app, which is available at viris.app. VIRIS is aimed to architects, space managers and the public and allows to study the infection risk in new settings of choice. The source codes are also available: github.com/KaterinaKaou...
We use the model to compare a series of non-pharmaceutical interventions in a care home and in a supermarket, after validating with a well-known court room case. Most of the interventions we studied are included in policy documents.
Very happy to share our new paper in @natureportfolio.bsky.social Scientific Reports presents a new agent-based model combining airborne viral transmission, people movement and detailed architectural design, powered by @topologic.app .

In today's lecture in my nonlinear dynamics and chaos course, I tried to give intuition for where chaos comes from. It's caused by repeated stretching and folding of phase space.
