From the editor:
Today we highlight the tireless team of volunteers that keep the Math Onco newsletter & website resources running smoothly:
Thank you Sarah Groves, François de Kermenguy, Katyayni-Ganesan, Tomas Miskov, Maximilian Strobl, Alexander Zeilmann, Franco Pradelli, David Hormuth, Dhananjay Bhaskar, Guillermo Lorenzo, Sara Hamis, David Basanta, and Sandy Anderson!
Today’s research topics include Resistance, plasticity, game theory, and more...
I also added an editorial posted in Molecular Biology & Evolution on the importance of journals run by scientific societies, which strikes me as an important point.
Enjoy,
Jeffrey West

A Message From the Editors-in-Chief
Brandon S Gaut, Claudia A M Russo
Molecular Biology & Evolution: “…we nonetheless find a surprising proportion of experienced faculty who do not understand the difference between society-owned and for-profit journals. With that in mind, we would like to discuss this issue and briefly evaluate the health of MBE.”
Early Detection of Cancer Conference
Oct 21-23, PortlandInterdisciplinary challenges in the physics of complexity and life 2025 (IntCha25)
This conference aims at connecting young researchers from diverse backgrounds at the interface between the physics of complex systems and biology, to build networks and new collaborations both across fields and between theoreticians and experimentalists. The talks will span a variety of topics from soft matter to biology and statistical physics.In Memoriam: Prof. Siv Sivaloganathan
“His passing came as a shock, completely unexpected, and I am deeply saddened by it. I lost a good friend, Fields lost a devoted supporter, and the world lost a gentle soul.”
The newsletter now has a dedicated homepage where we post the cover artwork for each issue. We encourage submissions that coincide with the release of a recent paper from your group. This week’s artwork:

Caption: Last week we held our yearly team meeting. This is a time for us to reflect on the state of the mathematical oncology website, newsletter, and blog, and to discuss how we can make these resources even better in the next year. The purpose of this platform is to aggregate community level resources in our field, to both facilitate its growth and aid in its implementation. We have seen fantastic growth over the past years, reflected, for example, in the >2000 subscribers to this newsletter or our 20+ blog posts every year. This has been very much a team effort and this week’s artwork highlights the team member who are working tirelessly behind the scenes to make it happen. For the coming year we have several exciting new projects lined up and we are looking for new volunteers to help make them happen. This could be you! If you are interested in contributing or have ideas that you would like to see implemented, get in touch by replying to this email!
