@carnage4life.bsky.socialReposted by @shikharabhat.bsky.socialโThis recent dump of papers on Tuesday destroyed the careers of early-career mathematicians. We've had whole research programs wiped out on Tuesday by their dump โฆ they have all the mathematicians research programs in their training dataโ - Tristan Buckmaster on OpenAI solving unsolved math problems
@johncarlosbaez.bsky.socialReposted by @shikharabhat.bsky.socialRutherford's puzzle about 'Napoleon's theorem' was published in ๐๐ฉ๐ฆ ๐๐ข๐ฅ๐ช๐ฆ๐ด' ๐ท๐๐๐๐ฆ: ๐๐ ๐๐๐๐๐'๐ ๐ด๐๐๐๐๐๐๐๐. Interestingly, this woman's magazine was an important forum for math problems before more 'serious' math journals appeared in the UK in 1830.

@ebmatthews.bsky.socialReposted by @shikharabhat.bsky.socialThree new evolutionary ecology PhD positions are open in Switzerland (Eawag, and Uni. Bern) to work on Greenland lake ecosystems. We are interested in how stickleback and copepods evolve, and how their evolution affects the trajectories of lake ecosystem development. apply.refline.ch/673277/1403/...
@shikharabhat.bsky.socialAn incredible animation/explanation (and equally incredible science!)
@vancleve.theoretical.bioReposted by @shikharabhat.bsky.socialMy group is recruiting a Ph.D student for Fall 2027!
We're a friendly group of mathematically-minded and computationally-inspired biologists studying topics including social evolution, host-pathogen interactions, genetics, and demography.
See vancleve.theoretical.bio for more info!
@littmath.bsky.socialReposted by @shikharabhat.bsky.socialthat the mathematical literature as a whole is so reliable comes down to the fact that, over time, we have made an even number of sign errors
@evodynamics.bsky.socialReposted by @shikharabhat.bsky.socialNEW PUBLICATION: โAdaptive Dynamics of Discriminate and Indiscriminate Matingโ, with Sam Rothberg & Brian Lerch.
We model and analyze the evolution of indiscriminate matingโwhere organisms mate with others regardless of their sex.

@ricardsole.bsky.socialReposted by @shikharabhat.bsky.socialWe are very happy to announce the launch of Systems Ecology @systems-ecology.bsky.social, a new independent, diamond open-access journal dedicated to advancing systems-level understanding in ecology. systems-ecology.org/index.php/se Check the Founding editorial! systems-ecology.org/index.php/se...
@guimaguade.bsky.socialReposted by @shikharabhat.bsky.socialThis looks promising! "...free to read and free to publish, with no subscription barriers for readers and no article processing charges for authors. The journal is run by researchers, for researchers, with the goal of advancing ecology through systems thinking."
