From the editor
Ironically, this week's edition of the newsletter includes a link to an interesting discussion calling the scientific paper as "obsolete." Seeing that this newsletter aims to press more relevant publications into your hands, it's good to consider the future of scientific publishing as a whole.
Yet the world of math oncology spins madly on with models of tumor-associated macrophages, pharmacokinetic models of combination therapy, more heterogeneity discussions, and a new metastasis model.
Enjoy,

#MathOnco News
Scientific Communication as Sequential Art
Bret Victor: Click to see an interesting foreshadowing of the research paper of the future. Perhaps the #mathonco community could drive to be at the forefront of developing new interactive technologies to better explain the complicated algorithms and dynamical systems involved in our models? More discussion on this idea is provided in an article from The Atlantic entitled The Scientific Paper is Obsolete.
#MathOnco Books
Biomechanics of Soft Tissues:
Principles and Applications
This book provides "the basic biomechanical principles such as stress-strain relationship of tissues defining mechanical parameters... [which] ...paves the way for the incorporation of appropriate applications such as radiotherapy, surgery and diagnostics."
