Congratulations Kelsey Hallinen, who is starting a new position as Assistant Physics Professor at University of Oregon!
apply here by 10/1/25! puwebp.princeton.edu/AcadHire/app...
Missed John Hopfield's Nobel speech? Here's the online version: journals.aps.org/rmp/abstract/1…
It was an honor to write this, but also great fun. A chance to look back at the classics, and think about the path forward. #Physics is a beautiful human endeavor.

Now out in Physical Review Letters: work led by Andrew Pyo showing that the accumulation of beneficial mutations can be greatly accelerated by a mutation rate that decreases with increasing relative fitness. journals.aps.org/prl/abstract/1…
Apply now to be a CPBF Fellow in 2026! puwebp.princeton.edu/AcadHire/apply…
Not just our @phybiofunc Fellow positions, but many allied programs. Read the whole thread, and please think about applying!

Our next symposium will focus on large language models. Longer talks and plenty of discussion time should help making these exciting developments more accessible! Please join us. No streaming but recorded talks will be posted @ITSCUNY1 .
