Trying to decide where to go first this morning at #smb2024 and like spatial data? Come along to our minisymposium in room 107 at 10am - highly spatially correlated with the coffee stands for your convenience

It's that time of year again! No, not Christmas - I meant the @OxfordCancer annual symposium
Hosted by @OxUniMaths this year, and with a huge @WCMBlog turnout too.

A fun morning of public engagement at @WCMBlog for @OxUniMaths masterclasses today - lots of fractals and Turing patterns! Plus an attempt to turn a lecture theatre full of year 9s into a differential adhesion model that worked surprisingly well (paper shows where they ended up!)

Fully funded PhD project available @OxUniMaths - developing mathematical models of Epstein-Barr virus dynamics and the subsequent onset of neurological disease (e.g. Multiple Sclerosis). For further details, see Project K under the Studentships tab at ox.ac.uk/admissions/graduate…

It's almost as much of a cliché to say maths is not just sums & slog as to say it is.
The Oxford Maths Festival doesn't care about definitions. Puzzles, games, craft & @TimHarford making sense of the world. Call it what you like. Ages 0-116.
13 & 14 May:

Some people don't like it easy. Which is a relief because there are a lot of tough problems around.
Oxford Mathematician Jess Crawshaw likes things to be difficult as she explains in our latest 'Me and My Maths' film.

Ever wanted an interactive lightning-fast solver for models in physics, chemistry, or biology? Do you have a web browser?
I'm thrilled to announce VIsualPDE.com, built explicitly to solve PDE models interactively on most devices, written by @bj_w95 @Pecnut and I.

Another postdoc position available, come and work with us on spatial data analysis - great opportunity for a mathematician who wants to be based in a bio lab @HumanGeneticsOx, but still keep close contact with the math bio world via @WCMBlog
