I’m aiming to start using mastodon more in 2023 to share the microbiology my group is doing, but as I’m still on hols here’s the last page of my current #calligraphy #bookbinding project being written. Having creative hobbies helps me maintain some semblance of sanity…

A sheet of parchment on a writing stand. It is folded into two pages. Someone is writing with a quill on the right-hand page. The left page is finished and shows an illuminated poem.

PhD opportunity in my group of Statistical #Physics of #Complex #Systems at Coventry University.

Interested in #graphs, #networks and #algorithms? Join us to study a new #ensemble of complex networks focusing on #correlations, and determine its relations to the degree-sequence and degree-distribution ensembles, to discover mesoscopic drivers in the #evolution of complex systems.

Please boost widely and feel free to send to possible interested candidates.
