Plenary talk and contributed talk at ECMTB 2024

This week at the European Conference for Mathematical and Theoretical Biology (ECMTB 2024) I presented two talks: a mini-symposium talk on work from my recent pre-print using entropy production rates to potentially explain some economic aspects of transcriptional bursting (thanks to Carine Legrand for the invitation!); and a plenary talk on work from my PhD thesis in reception of the Reinhart-Heinrich award for the best thesis in Mathematical Biology. I was very happy to see some of my core points on the failures of deterministic modelling, the non-intuitive consequences of stochasticity, the difficulties of doing a PhD (and the roles we should play) and the importance of “spin-off” projects resonating with so much of the ESMTB community!

You can access the slides from my talk here. I’m very happy to discuss more about the contents of the talk, please just send an email my way.
