can anyone recommend a modern undergrad math biology text? I love the classics (Edelstein-Keshet, deVries, Murray) but I feel they're too focused on model analysis rather than the holistic process of model construction + data comparison that current math bio often entails

Speaking of work for the public - Statistical analysis measuring equal represent. should not have to come from the public. Thankful to @402Carina, @randomcashew, Dr Kristie Pfabe, and and others who stepped up and made this widely known within 3 mins of testimony.

Made a wholesome math meme
An iceberg where the part above water says "What you think your mathematical ability is" and the iceberg below the water surface (the greater part of the iceberg) says "The rest of your mathematical ability."

I have so much work I could be doing, but for some reason all my brain wants to do is combine a photo I took of a leaf with the equation that explains why larger trees don’t have bigger leaves 🍃 Surprise fluid dynamics strikes again! I’m not even mad, that’s amazing.

1/ It's a lovely time of year to take a walk through the woods. It's also a lovely time to be asking yourself: "What is the fractal dimension of the trail I'm walking on?"

Recording lectures today? I recommend placing something you can talk to just above your webcam. A smiley positron seems to work ok.
