Entropy production of non-reciprocal interactions
Non-reciprocal interactions are very common in natural systems. They can be used to explain the emergence of certain patterns such as bird flocking. Generally, systems with non-reciprocal interactions are out of equilibrium, although they can obey

There's plenty of time for evolution
Here's an interesting collaboration between generatingfunctionologist Herbert S Wilf and renowned theoretical population geneticist Warren J Ewens, They show that since evolution happens in parallel rather than in series, the argument that the
Counting processes in cancer biology
In 1953 Nordling came up with an interesting observation concerning cancer incidence rates as a function of age: the probability (per year) of getting cancer follows a power law P\sim T^\alpha where T is the age and \alpha=6 for many cancers.
Introduction to Lattice Boltzmann I
In these two lectures, I will introduce the Lattice Boltzmann algorithm, which is used to simulate the Navier-Stokes equations of simple and complex fluids. I will first present the method, then we will see how one can recover the Navier-Stokes

Introduction to information thermodynamics
A follow-up to my previous talk on fluctuation theorems: Detailed knowledge about a system (information gained though measurement) allows useful work to be extracted, even from thermal fluctuations. Fluctuation theorems have provided a new
