Going from a chemical reaction system to the Wright-Fisher-Kimura diffusion equation, the most important equation in population genetics.

How to get really fast forward population genetics simulations while storing complete lineage information. Algorithmic tricks and custom Julia types for speedy memory management.

What’s the best way to simulate the competition between individuals in a population? Can we avoid the computational costs of sampling from a big multinomial distribution?

If you train a binary classifier to minimize the logistic-loss in distinguishing two datasets X and Y, then, as if by magic, your classifier statistic is an approximation for the likelihood ratio of the two distributions p[X]/p[Y]. Where does this magic come from?

The periodic table is iconic. A pure scientific breakthrough finding order in chaos. But in some ways it hides the quantum chemistry. Can we redesign the Table to better reflect the quantum mechanical story?

Why do so many of us multicellular organisms make the beast with two backs? Isn’t sex too complicated to work?

How much is physics about symmetries and how much about something else?
