Reviews

5.0 out of 5 stars from 18 ratings
  • Very interesting and educational at the same time

    It is very informative to hear the opinions of mathematical biologists, as I aspire to pivot into Team Math from Team Bio.

    I was educated to be Team Bio. But, I am having a growing interest in quantitative method for biological study.

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

S3 Ep6: Daniel Alejandro Cruz
Q: How do you view the role of mathematics in education and accessibility?
He argues that mathematics is about problem-solving and that everyone can engage with and benefit from mathematical thinking, not just those trained in traditional settings.
S3 Ep6: Daniel Alejandro Cruz
Q: What is the core idea of your current research in a single sentence?
He summarizes his work as developing methods to analyze and improve computational models of biology that capture mechanisms across different scales of resolution.
S3 Ep6: Daniel Alejandro Cruz
Q: What flavor of math biology would you consider yourself to be?
Cruz positions himself as a mathematician with computational leanings, who remains conversational in biology and medicine and emphasizes interdisciplinary collaboration.
S3 Ep3: AI or die - with Reinhard Laubenbacher
Q: How can we ensure that these tools are used to help the student instead of just allowing them to get assignments done without any understanding?
We need to help students use AI as a tool in learning and revise the content we teach them about AI.
S3 Ep3: AI or die - with Reinhard Laubenbacher
Q: Are LLMs part of the modern math biologist toolkit?
Yes, people have used them quite productively in various applications.
