Exciting news! My latest research paper was published last week in the Journal of Computational Biology 📖. This paper is another consequence of the results produced during my doctoral studies. I want to express my gratitude to my co-authors, mentors, and everyone who supported me on this endeavor. If you're interested in reading the paper, you can access the peer-reviewed version here (unfortunately, it's not open access and it will require a subscription): https://lnkd.in/dX6_KvBQ. Alternatively, there is a pre-print version available on arXiv: https://lnkd.in/dDKrTFYh. #Research #Publication #AcademicAchievement

👁️🗨️ Ever wondered how humans estimate stiffness purely through observed kinematic cues? Our findings, reveal the dominance of path information over temporal cues in stiffness perception. Even when velocity profiles were manipulated, subjects accurately estimated stiffness, unraveling fascinating insights. 📚 Me, Prof. Meghan Huber and Prof. Neville Hogan's 2022 paper in PLOS Computational Biology, "Role of Path Information in Visual Perception of Joint Stiffness," delves into humans intriguing ability to estimate stiffness solely from visual observation.

The new book #Why_we_die from #Venki_Ramakrishnan is a crash course in molecular and cellular biology 😀 . Yet, it is entertaining and accessible to the broad and non-specialized public. Exciting is his chapter about mitochondria. Highly recommended! #aging#mitochondria#senescence

Following a conversation with Eric Sigel and further encouragement from Kelly Dennehy, I have decided that the time had come to share my thoughts and insights on Computational Biology in a light hearted manner. Please visit https://lnkd.in/dZg8fVUG to see what I am discussing and please let me know what you'd like to see talked about. Looking forward to connecting with you. #blogging #computationalbiology #machinelearning #drugdiscovery

My goal as a science communicator is to cultivate a community where everyone feels like they belong in science. I combine my various areas of expertise in molecular biology, science education, (and being human) to create a fun space to learn and engage with science.

Ever wondered how game-changing fields like synthetic biology emerge⁉ I am excited to share our new research article, "On the emergence of interdisciplinary scientific fields: (how) does it relate to science convergence?" now published in Research Policy. 📃 This study, co-authored with my colleagues Michael Rennings and Stefanie Bröring from Ruhr-Universität Bochum and Marcus John from Fraunhofer INT, explores the journey of interdisciplinary fields and their critical role in tackling the grand challenges of our time. Our work integrates insights from science convergence literature to develop a typology of pathways for the evolution of interdisciplinary fields. The results are relevant to academic and policy stakeholders - both of which are expected to drive the evolution of interdisciplinary scientific fields as well as technological progress and innovation. This publication marks a milestone in my PhD journey, blending relief, pride, and sheer excitement. A big thank you to my co-authors and to Philip Shapira from The University of Manchester and Georgia Institute of Technology and his chair group for their insights and discussions during the revision process.

Something interesting for Friday, I'm pretty sure everyone studied biology in high school, and some even majored in it. You can appreciate the importance of biology in both human and animal life, though technically, humans are animals—social animals. The only thing that separates us from other animals is our more advanced consciousness and our ability to invent and build technology to make things comfortable for fellow human beings. Whether it's nanotechnology used to save lives in vaccines or prosthetics to help people walk, in my honest opinion, knowing biology is crucial to understanding life. Yes, philosophy is important too, as it helps us ask difficult questions. You might believe the latest phone or wearable is the most advanced tech you carry, but I disagree. The most advanced piece of technology you carry with you from the day you're born to the day you die is your own body. The amount of stuff that happens in the human body is incredible. Take genetics, for instance—it's a new world inside your body, and we often assume everything magically fits in place and works. That's where biology comes in. If you are curious and want to understand the most sophisticated tech you carry with you—that is, your body—I highly recommend checking out content from MIT. They never disappoint with their quality content. It's one of my favorite institutions in the world. The entire playlist won't take more than maybe 20 hours of your time. For those interested in transhumanism, having a bit of biology knowledge in your arsenal is essential. It's one thing to know synthetic biology, but having a core foundation in biology is highly valuable. I encourage my fellow transhumanists to give this a go and see what you think. If you believe you already know these things, you can give it a pass, but I think you might find it worthwhile. https://lnkd.in/gSwv6QEC
