Today on the Pod is Alice Schwarze. We talk about Alice’s paper "Motifs for processes on networks". Super exciting work! Before we get to the paper, we also talk about memes, how to get into Oxford, and being a young researcher today. Alice is a postdoctoral research scholar at the Department of Biology at the University of Washington. Her research combines ideas and methods from applied mathematics and network science to study complex systems in biology and neuroscience.She holds a DPhil (PhD) in Mathematics from the University of Oxford, a MSc in theoretical physics and a BSc in physics from Technische Universitaet Berlin. She is committed to supporting students from underrepresented groups in academia. She convenes the seminar series on "Women in Network Science”.—The sound is not ideal in this one, but it get’s much better around the 17 minute mark as we call in a dedicated external recorder.#Timestamps[0:00:00] Intro to today's episode[0:01:36] The origin story + being a young researcher today.[0:25:44] Now we talk about the paper# CreditsThe podcast has theme music by Waylon Thornton.
