As a recipient of a 2024 Simons Foundation Pivot Fellowship, Dr. Natasha Blitvic recently participated at the Foundation's spring gathering of Pivot Fellows. Pivot Fellowships allow accomplished scientists to explore different areas of mathematics or the natural sciences. The Fellowship enabled Dr. Blitvic to study the connections of seemingly distinct disciplines: She employed probability theory, and statistics to better understand microbes' interactions, growth patterns and movements.
You can read more about Dr. Blitvic and her work at the recent newsletter of Simons Foundation.
