Two physically very different systems. The same patterns in space.
A coincidence?
No — a duality.

Many thanks again to Mehran for an outstanding set of lectures, and to everyone who joined us in Munich.
Next week at LMU Munich: the 32nd Arnold Sommerfeld Lecture Series with Mehran Kardar (MIT)—from KPZ and nonequilibrium physics to active matter, disorder, and soft matter.
Programme: www.theorie.physik.uni-muenchen.de/activities/l...
Thrilled to attend the meeting—looking forward to the talks and discussions with colleagues. berkeleystatmech.org/index.html

Three is more, and different.
2-component mass-conserving reaction-diffusion: coarsens forever.
3-component: maps onto a new active field theory (Active Model B−), and coarsening arrests into dots, stripes, foams.

🏛️ 200 Years of LMU in Munich 🎓 Founded in 1472, relocated from Landshut to Munich in 1826 — today LMU celebrates 200 years in Munich and inaugurates Prof. Dr. Matthias H. Tschöp as President.
An inspiring morning on the mathematics of Turing-like patterns in biological systems at the conference on „Patterning principles in biophysics“ at beautiful Beg Rohu. Great talks by Robert Endres and @physicsoflifelmu.bsky.social

Excited to announce that our Econophysiology workshop has been accepted at the BIRS in 2027 🇨🇦
Co-organized with Hidde de Jong, Edda Klipp, & Matt Scott, we will bring economists, biologists, and physicists together to build a shared conceptual language across disciplines.
Stay tuned!
