This week in MathOnco 182

Website re-design, intratumoral heterogeneity, spatial immunophenotypes, CAR T-cell, coexistence phenotypes, and more

“This week in Mathematical Oncology” — Oct. 7, 2021

> mathematical-oncology.org

From the editor:

As you may have heard, we recently redesigned the mathematical oncology community resource website:

mathematical-oncology.org

It’s intended to be a community-led resource that showcases seminars, jobs, papers, conferences, and more. Please do browse the site — we welcome any feedback!

Enjoy!

1. Ten simple rules for choosing a PhD supervisor
   PLOS Computational Biology
   Loay Jabre, Catherine Bannon, J. Scott P. McCain, Yana Eglit: “As a PhD student in the making, you will have many important decisions to consider. Several of them will depend on your chosen discipline and research topic, the institution you want to attend, and even the country where you will undertake your degree. However, one of the earliest and most critical decisions you will need to make transcends most other decisions: choosing your PhD thesis supervisor.”

The newsletter now has a dedicated homepage (thisweekmathonco.substack.com), which allows us to post cover artwork for each issue. We encourage submissions that coincide with the release of a recent paper from your group.

Caption: Mathonco has a new home! We’re excited to share that we have given the website an overhaul and have merged it with the mathonco blog and the newsletter to create a single place for everything #mathonco. In addition, you can find job postings, conference adverts, and recordings of the IMO seminar series. Anything missing that you would like to see? – just let us know. We want this to be a resource for the community by the community! Thanks to Jeffrey West for his hard work designing the page, and to David Basanta, Maxi Strobl, Jill Gallaher and Sandy Anderson for helping out. As always, If you’d like to make a suggestion or submit a blog post you can send an email to mathoncoblog@gmail.com.

P.S. We hope the margins are wide enough to contain your all your cool #mathonco sketches!
