Please apply. We can make multiple appointments and coordinate with other fellowship programs. But act soon!

We have been fortunate to have a stream of extraordinary Fellows as part of our community. They have gone on to wonderful positions .. It is time, once more, to renew. Our annual search is a chance for us to understand what the brightest young people in the community are doing!

It was an honor to write this, but also great fun. A chance to look back at the classics, and think about the path forward. #Physics is a beautiful human endeavor.

A Review on the 2024 #NobelPrize in Physics "for foundational discoveries and inventions that enable #MachineLearning with #ArtificialNeuralNetworks" highlights the origins of this work in physics of living systems and what the future holds for the field. go.aps.org/4m6HO5R

Once upon a time the notes from each course were collected in books. I remember many happy hours browsing in the library when I was a student, long ago. Now they are online, and happily free. Please enjoy and don't hesitate to reach out with questions.

The summer schools at Les Houches are a magnificent tradition. I was honored to lecture there in 2023, and my notes now are published as "Ambitions for theory in the physics of life." scipost.org/SciPostPhysLec…

This is, by any measure, an embarrassment of riches. We can deploy these resources wisely (and justly) only if we can attract great candidates. All applications get serious attention from multiple stakeholders.

Finishing your PhD and interested in the Physics of Life? This is a reminder that we have several different postdoctoral opportunities. We coordinate, but best to apply to all that seem relevant. Please consider joining our lively and interactive community. Deadlines soon!

Searching for new Fellows is part of how we learn about the most exciting work being done by young people in our field. We hope to make three new appointments with three year terms. Please apply!

Finishing your PhD and interested in the Physics of Life? We are in the midst of our annual search for new Fellows. We are looking for both theorists and experimentalists ready for a bit more independence than a regular postdoc. To learn more: biophysics.princeton.edu/opportunities

One of the pleasures of being at Princeton is to teach alongside wonderful PhD students such as Ravin. Wonderful to see his work recognized, and looking forward to teaching together again this Fall.

Many thanks to the organizers for the invitation, and to the audience for thought provoking questions!

At the frontiers between physics and biology, @wbialek just shared an impressive lecture on the physical principles underlying the design of genetic networks, exploring the optimization of information flow as a potentially fundamental theoretical principle. #CurieSymposium

Very much looking forward to this. The field moves so fast it can be (very) hard to keep up. These great speakers should give us a lively view. Special thanks to @framigna and @Kamesh_Kris who led the organizing effort.

Our next symposium will focus on large language models. Longer talks and plenty of discussion time should help making these exciting developments more accessible! Please join us. No streaming but recorded talks will be posted @ITSCUNY1 .

Looking forward to seeing many friends and colleagues in Paris next month. Honored to help kick off what promises to be a great series of symposia.
Institut Curie@institut_curie
📅 In May 2024, join us for the 1st International Symposium of @institut_curie and meet exceptional speakers such as @wbialek, physician and prof. in Physics at @Princeton, keynote speaker of the Systems Session. Discover more on: curiesymposium.fr #CurieSymposium

We started these online, during the pandemic. Genuinely inspiring to hear from such a broad range of young colleagues, on such a wide range of topics at the frontier of our field.

Happy to partner once more with @ITSCUNY1 These events give an opportunity to sample wonderful work by young physicists - from near and far - interested in the phenomena of life. Informal, lots of chance for discussion. Join us in NYC @GC_CUNY or online!
