Subject: Possible Proof of Goldbach's Conjecture


I invite readers of the two-page paper, "A Possible Proof of
Goldbach's Conjecture" on occampress.com to tell me the first sentence
that the reader believes contains an error, and what that error is.

Following the clarification of some obscurities more than a year ago,
I have received no claims of an error in the paper.

The strategy is an adaptation of one that has enabled me to apparently
solve two other very difficult problems. In brief, it begins with
finding a structure that contains all possibilities, and that shows
important relationships between them.

Subject: Biological Multiscale Systems, Germany, Sep 2022


We are very happy to invite you to our upcoming workshop MathBio22 -
Mathematical models for biological multiscale systems (Weierstrass
Institute for Applied Analysis and Stochastics, Berlin, September
12-14, 2022)

Homepage: https://www.wias-berlin.de/workshops/MathBio22/

The aim of the meeting will be to present and discuss research results
on mathematical methods that bridge the gap in scale and complexity
between microscopic descriptions of biological and biophysical systems
with corresponding PDE descriptions. The focus is on the multi-scale
nature innate to biological processes connecting interacting
biomolecules with complex systems such as cells, tissue, and organs to
elucidate macroscopic phenomena, e.g., (cross)diffusion, liquid-liquid
phase separation, gelation, growth.

The corresponding model hierarchies require innovative and structure-
preserving numerical methods, novel simulation techniques, and new
analytical tools for the resulting nonlinear PDE systems. The latter
concerns in particular questions of well-posedness, long-term
behavior, qualitative properties of solutions, and coupling to
microscopic, stochastic, or agent-based models. Variational and
energy- or entropy-based methods are of particular interest.

The workshop will take place in a hybrid form, contributed talks and
posters are welcome (limited capacity). Registration (on-site and
online) and submission of abstract:

Subject: Supercomputing Spotlights, ONLINE, Jun 2022


Supercomputing Spotlights is a new webinar series, featuring short
TED-style presentations that highlight the impact and successes of
high-performance computing (HPC) throughout our world. Presentations,
emphasizing achievements and opportunities in HPC, are intended for
the broad international community, especially students and newcomers
to the field. Join us!

First session: Supercomputing for Everyone

Presenter: Professor Satoshi Matsuoka, RIKEN Center for Computational
Science, Japan

Monday, June 27, 1:00-1:30 pm UTC (30 minutes)
9 am EDT / 1 pm UTC / 3 pm Central Europe / 10 pm Japan

Participation is free, but registration is required. Register:
https://exascaleproject.zoomgov.com/meeting/register/vJIsde6uqzgrGjAIUsnDEUr2bzex1LeggyA

Abstract: Come and learn how high-performance computing (HPC) fosters
scientific discovery! We will look back at nearly two decades of
supercomputing innovations that have reshaped the gaming industry,
enhanced climate/weather predictions, and facilitated research on drug
design. Artificial Intelligence (AI) is yet another game changer. Did
you know that AI powered by supercomputers has been at the forefront
of rapid research responses in the international fight against
Covid-19? This presentation will highlight successful HPC advances and
call out opportunities for impacting the future of our global society.

Bio: Satoshi Matsuoka is the Director of RIKEN Center for
Computational Science, and he oversees the deployment and operation of
the Fugaku supercomputer. He has been the leader of the TSUBAME series
of supercomputers that pioneered the use of GPUs in supercomputing. He
has been a major driving force behind the development of Fugaku, which
won first place in four major rankings of supercomputer performance
(Top500, HPCG, HPL-AI, and Graph500) in June 2020. He is the recipient
of the 2014 IEEE-CS Sidney Fernbach Memorial Award and more recently
was awarded the Medal of Honor with purple ribbon from the emperor of
Japan.

The Supercomputing Spotlights webinar series is presented by the SIAM
Activity Group on Supercomputing (SIAG/SC) as part of new SIAG/SC
initiatives that focus on raising awareness of HPC opportunities and
growing the community. We invite you to get involved!

Subject: PhD Position, H2020 Project ASTROTECH


The past four decades demonstrated that non-neuronal cells, called
astrocytes are emerging as crucial players for brain function &
dysfunction. A major obstacle of previous and current initiatives on
neurotechnologies is a lack of focus on astrocytes and most of the
tools used to probe and sense astrocytes are derived from those
developed to study neurons. The ASTROTECH
(http://www.astrotechproject.eu/) Consortium aims at pioneering the
field of "Glial Engineering," to develop a consistent range of tools
to record, study, and manipulate astrocytes in the healthy and
diseased brain. ASTROTECH will train 15 Early Stage Researchers (ESRs)
on research, training and complimentary skills aiming at: (i)
engineering biomaterials and nanostructured interfaces to provide in
vivo-like in vitro models for controlled and reliable studies of
astrocytes in vitro; (ii) fabrication and characterization of
nanostructured devices for stimulation, recording and biosensing of
astrocytes; (iii) optogenetics tools, optoelectronic device and
photonic methods for precise and cell selective stimulation of
astrocytes; and (iv) computational approaches to characterize
neuron-astrocytes interactions. Specifically, training on
state-of-the-art biomaterials interfaces, electronic, photonic devices
will be combined with in-depth knowledge on optogenetics,
neuroscience, glial physiology and biology and computational
approaches to validate the developed tools in vitro, ex vivo and in
silico with emphasis on pathological models of glioma, ischemia,
epilepsy and depression.

Deadline: 15 July 2022
Applications: http://www.bcamath.org/en/research/job/phd-position-for-h2020-project-astrotech-2022
