Alan Turing is the star of the next set of student lectures we are showing. But not the Turing of computer science or cryptography, but the Turing of zebra stripes.
Ruth Baker is talking mathematical biology and, in particular, pattern formation. Lecture 1: youtu.be/ta3pGHqPKkg
Extremely happy to see our work on the collective chemotaxis of cell groups out!
Such an incredible and fun collaboration leading to exciting interdisciplinary science

New paper out in @pnas.org
We followed cells migrating along signalling gradients in 3D, and found they collectively behave as a living droplet - a self-propelling fluid that grows.
