This past weekend, I attended the second, biannual Midwest Mathematical Biology Conference (MMBC) hosted at the University of Wisconsin La Crosse. There were a lot of great talks throughout the weekend including plenary speakers Dr. Louis Gross, Dr. Carina Curto, and Dr. Mark Craven. I learned a lot about mathematical biology, including a multitude of uses for differential equations and some great techniques in evolutionary computing. At the end of Saturday, there was a poster session that included 6 posters. After the poster session, most of the people at the conference went on a wonderful Mississippi River paddlewheel river boat replica and ate pizza.
The next day we had more great talks, then a long drive back to Chicago. You can find my poster in its new home in the lab, or you can see it here.
