Mathematics and Biology Symposium

A Mathematics and Biology Symposium (register here) devoted to data-driven science will be held September 2–3 at the Ebling Symposium Center. From the event summary:

Dramatic, continuing growth in the amounts and types of data available for deep understanding of life is fueling profound advances in the analytical tools and modes of inquiry employed in biological research. This symposium is borne of the conviction that breakthroughs in 21st century biology and biomedicine increasingly will come from strategies based in mathematics, computer sciences, and related disciplines. Similarly, challenges in biological research are providing raw material and impetus for advances in mathematics, statistics, computing, engineering and associated fields. Nurturing these synergistic relationships thus offers profound benefits across the full spectrum of biological, mathematical and physical sciences.
