David MacKay — The Bayesian Observer
http://www.suhasmathur.com/the-bayesian-observer/2016/4/20/david-mackay
April 20, 2016. I was deeply saddened to learn last week that Sir David. Has passed away. Over the last nine months, he struggled with cancer, and documented this journey in great detail on a personal blog. He is survived by his wife and two kids, aged one and four. He was just a few days short of his 49th birthday. I first met David MacKay at Princeton in 2006 when he gave a talk about a piece of HCI software called Dasher. On climate change and remember browsing through the free copy he had put online.

Systems and Signals Group. Our group studies disorder in Nature with an emphasis on networks and signals. Each of these blog articles introduces one of our recent published papers for the general reader. Friday, 21 September 2012. How conserved are protein-protein interactions? And why would you want to know? To say that two proteins are homologous means that they are similar through common evolutionary descent: in some sense, they are the 'same' protein). The answer, it is often assumed, is 'yes': a fai...

Each of these blog articles introduces one of our recent published papers for the general reader. Thursday, 16 July 2015. Generations of generating functions in dividing cells. Cell biology is a unpredictable world, as we've written about before. Tools called "generating functions" are useful in this situation. A generating function is a mathematical function (like G(z) = z. In cells that divide (lik...
