Can the friend of my friend be my enemy?
Just as humans can follow complex social situations in deciding who to befriend or to abandon, it turns out that animals use the same level of sophistication in judging social configurations, according to a new study that advances our understanding of the structure of animal social networks.

Summer STEM Camp
Middle school-aged girls interested in STEM will participate in the Adventures in STEM day camp to be held June 3-7, 2013, on the UTK campus. Students will be immersed in a week full of hands-on activities, lab visits, and team projects in labs and classrooms that expose the exciting challenges of being a scientist or researcher. For more information about the day camp, click here.

NIMBioS Interdisciplinary Seminars
will resume in the fall semester, beginning on Tuesday, August 27.
Analyzing Animal Vocal Sequences
Applications are now being accepted for the NIMBioS Investigative Workshop: Analyzing Animal Vocal Communication Sequences, to be held October 21-23, 2013, at NIMBioS. The workshop goal is to bridge the gap between mathematical and biological researchers with an interest in the quantitative analysis of animal vocal sequences. Application deadline: June 24, 2013. Click here for a descriptive flyer. For more information about the workshop and how to apply click here.
New! Apply for the Graduate Student Fellowship
NIMBioS is pleased to begin offering fellowships for visits to NIMBioS for up to several months by graduate students interested in pursuing research with NIMBioS senior personnel, postdoctoral fellows or working group participants. The program is designed to facilitate graduate student training while fostering research at the interface of mathematics and biology. For more information about the fellowship and how to apply, click here.
Requests for NIMBioS Support
Requests for NIMBioS support for Working Groups, Investigative Workshops, and Sabbatical Fellows are considered two times per year, with deadlines on March 1 and September 1. The upcoming deadline will be September 1, 2013 for activities beginning in Spring 2014. Applications for Short-term Visits are considered four times per year, with deadlines on March 1, June 1, September 1, and December 1.
All areas of research at the interface of
biology and mathematics will be considered, but we are especially
interested in activities expanding beyond the areas of research
supported to date. Potential organizers of activities in areas of
molecular biology, cell biology, network biology, immunology and systems
biology are particularly encouraged to submit requests for support of
Working Groups or Investigative Workshops.
Call for Postdoctoral Fellowships
NIMBioS considers applications for postdoctoral scholarship two times per year, with deadlines on September 1 and December 11.
We are particularly interested in requests to support research that integrates diverse fields, requires synthesis at multiple scales, and/or makes use of or requires development of new mathematical/ computational approaches. Complete the online application and submit a brief project description, references, and CV following the guidelines available at
http://www.nimbios.org/postdocs/.
Apply for the Teacher Collaboration Program
NIMBioS is now accepting applications from math and biology/science teachers for the Teacher Collaboration Program, which provides links between teachers, scientists, and educators with an interest in making connections between mathematics and biology. NIMBioS will pair teachers with an interest in mathematics and biology with active researchers in the math biology community. For more information about the program and how to apply click here.
Mathematics of Planet Earth 2013 (MPE2013) is an initiative of mathematical sciences organizations around the world designed to showcase the ways in which the mathematical sciences can be useful in tackling our world's problems. This initiative has led to plans for many events to take place in 2013, including workshops, public lectures, art exhibits, an international open source competition and many other activities at institutes around the world. NIMBioS is a partner organization of MPE2013. Click here to view MPE2013-related activities at NIMBioS.
