something good about Python

Since 1969 Strassen’s algorithm has famously stood as the fastest way to multiply 2 matrices - but with #AlphaTensor we’ve found a new algorithm that’s faster, with potential to improve efficiency by 10-20% across trillions of calculations per day! dpmd.ai/dm-alpha-tensor

The single most undervalued fact of linear algebra: matrices are graphs, and graphs are matrices. Encoding matrices as graphs is a cheat code, making complex behavior simple to study. Let me show you how!

1/ We are excited to announce the publication of our (open access) review on replicated evolution in plants! You can read the full review here: annualreviews.org/doi/abs/10.114…. Huge props to the awesome team of Maddie James, Ian Wright, Tim Brodribb, and Loren Rieseberg!

Exciting PhD opportunity alert! 📢 We're seeking a motivated PhD student to join us in exploring how Systems Biology helps us understand Adaptation.🧪🌍🧬 #PhD #Biology #Scholarship [scholarships.uq.edu.au/scholarship/ev…]

Congratulations Avneet Kaur! Great job, as always.

In medicine, it's not enough to know what - you have to know why. Shunichiro Tomura UQ News is at #IGC2023 talking about 'random forests' - a machine learning (AI-like) method to pick up patterns in genomic data that actually make sense to humans. International Congress of Genetics 2023

In our excitement, we tweeted about our recent paper but forgot to include a link! Here it is for those interested in reading further. Thanks for your patience :) doi.org/10.22541/au.16…

In our new preprint, led by PhD student Nick O'Brien, and with Barbara Holland and Jan Engelstädter, we explore how gene networks affect adaptation in evolutionary models. We use a novel approach integrating systems biology and quantitative and pop genetics. biorxiv.org/content/10.110…

1/ In a new study, we show hypergraphs can reveal insights from gene expression data. But what are hypergraphs? 🤔. Sam Barton and Zoe Broad did a great job mixing Math and Biol, and James Lefevre and Diane Donovan guided the math work wonderfully! doi.org/10.1016/j.mbs.…

Check out our Perspective on the work of Goebl et al. 2022! They show how natural selection impacts Helianthus ecotypic divergence and allele frequencies across multiple life history stages.🌻 We explore how genetic correlations amongst traits impact the efficacy of selection.
