My 2nd @netlogo.bsky.social ABM exploring invisible fatigue 🧪 Agents work and fatigue until collapse, their workload is redistributed, fatigue clusters spread, system collapses Agents can be: employees, athletes, cardiac cells: different systems, same dynamics. This is only a 1st sketch of the model

We just published an article exploring how ulcerative colitis, a disease that starts in the gut, can lead to reduced heart contractility The figure is a summary abstract to illustrate the mechanism we uncovered.

Just finished the Santa Fe Institute course on complexity. @melaniemitchell.bsky.social Complexity: A Guided Tour once reshaped how I saw science and nudged me from experimental physiology toward modeling. The path hasn’t been easy, but this course and learning NetLogo renewed my motivation.

Experimental recordings alongside my 1st agent-based model (ABM) of calcium transients using @netlogo.bsky.social . Same experiments I once performed in real cells, now explored through an ABM. Still refining details, but already happy with the results. Same biology, just asking new questions.

I wish I had discovered NetLogo @netlogo.bsky.social and this wonderful tutorial from Complexity Explorer (SFI @sfiscience.bsky.social) much sooner. www.complexityexplorer.org/courses/84-f...

This book is essential reading for physical educators. It contains more comprehensive information about women athletes than was available in my entire physical education BA curriculum around 2007. @christineyu.bsky.social

What a week! Full of learning, new ideas, and inspiring conversations. I met so many brilliant and kind people, and I’m leaving with fresh perspectives. Thanks @nitmb.bsky.social

Multielectrode arrays can be used to investigate electric activity (field potential duration, conduction velocity, arrhythmic substrates, etc.) in cardiac tissue and cells. Useful to investigate the effect of diseases and drugs. 🧪

Ever wondered about the heart-gut connection in inflammatory bowel disease? Our brand new paper reveals insights into atrial electrophysiology changes during active ulcerative colitis that may explain the higher risk of arrhythmias in IBD patients. 🧪 www.mdpi.com/2218-273X/15...

Calcium transient imaging using an @ionoptix.bsky.social setup. On the bottom of the screen we can the pretty cardiomyocyte "beating". 🧪

Calcium imaging in cardiomyocytes is a method used to measure intracellular calcium levels and assess calcium dynamics. It is a powerful tool for investigating the effects of diseases and drugs on cardiac electrophysiology and contraction, providing insights into the mechanisms of arrhythmias. 🧪

I'm thrilled to announce the publication of my newest paper in JMCC, which investigates the mechanism of ulcerative colitis induced ventricular arrhythmias 🧪 www.jmcc-online.com/article/S002...

Colitis induced ventricular alternans increases the risk for ventricular arrhythmia
Inflammatory bowel disease was linked to an increased risk for conduction defects and ventricular arrhythmia. It coincides with dysregulation of gut microbiota, increased inflammation, and deregulatio...

An interesting story about the psychology of changing people's minds, with a dash of data visualization. ♾️

I recently attended the Netflux and Logic-Based Network Biology virtual conference organized by @jsauce7.bsky.social . Here's my first attempt at logic-based simulations. I've exported the simulation data to customize the graph further using R. Excited to explore more!
