Mathematical Biology Informal Seminar
Contact: Radostin Simitev

Format and scope of the seminar
The seminar is a fortnightly one-hour event organised by the
Mathematical Biology group of the Department of Mathematics at Glasgow
University. The format of the seminar is informal. We often present
work in progress or discuss papers from the literature. A goal of the
seminar is to build bridges between the biological and the mathematical
communities in Glasgow and create opportunities for interdisciplinary
research and collaboration. It is appropriate to describe predominantly
biological topics in the hope that they might inspire mathematical work.
Methods and results of mostly mathematical nature are also welcome, provided
they show potential for usefulness in a biological context.
Recommended presentation style: chalk-and-talk
To ensure the seminar remains informal and interactive, we try to restrict the
use of slides and laptops only to the display of complicated pictures or
graphs which cannot be reproduced on the blackboard. The rest of the presentation,
including the mathematics, should be explaied in reasonable detail using only chalk
and blackboard.
