The BioDynaMo consortium welcomes its new technical coordinator, Vasileios Vavourakis from the University of Cyprus.

On 20 September 2022, the consortium Board of BioDynaMo voted to transfer the technical coordination of the project to Assistant Professor  Vasileios Vavourakis at the University of Cyprus. Until now, the technical development has been coordinated from CERN, the European Laboratory for Particle Physics. untitled image by SPRKLG , licensed under CC BY 2.0 The project was launched back in 2015 as part of CERN openlab ’s work with Intel on code modernization, and received support from the CERN budget for knowledge transfer to medical applications. Its primary goal was to accelerate biological simulation. Agent-based simulation is central to a wide range of research fields, from biology to finance and social sciences. Today, BioDynaMo is a powerful software platform for creating, running and visualising all kinds of 3D agent-based simulations.   “The original simulator we used was Cortex3D, but we soon decided to join forces to design and develop a truly cutting-edge agent-based simulati

The instrumentalization of social fear as a practice of state power

When fear or collective panic takes hold of a community, restoring calm and reconnecting with the basics of the social contract becomes a perilous exercise for the power, which can then move forward along several operational implementations. Crisis management is rooted in the mores of the inhabitants, their culture, their ability to support the remedy put in place by the authority. Through the study of some famous historical examples, let us try to understand how the supernatural and fear are treated in this way but also sometimes instrumentalized by struggling powers in search of restoration.  " Sketchbook Project: Fears 12 " by Jen Garcia , licensed under CC BY 2.0 Plague, witchcraft, epidemics, famine ..., throughout history the plagues were numerous and each episode enlightens us on what was the society that crossed them but also on the power in charge of maintaining the social order. Sometimes, historical sources show that more than trying to appease, the exercise of the

The Charter of Trieste: Accessibility to services for all persons - an update in 2022

  Back in 2020 SCImPULSE Foundation had the honour to join forces with the Italian National Health Institute , the Autonomous Region Friuli-Venezia-Giulia , and Federsanità ANCI FVG  in initiating and launching the Charter of Trieste . We had originally planned to run a 2 years campaign to receive feedbacks and EoI and to hold a new meeting during ESOF2022 in Leiden to update the Charter and trace a new trajectory for the future. As we all know, the covid pandemics happened and changed many priorities across EU in healthcare and service accessibility studies, and if we didn't have the opportunity to campaign, we certainly had a lot of learning and reflection opportunities. So, here we are today, discussing where do we stand, and what's in store for the future of accessibility design for all.

Data Driven and Model Based Computational Futures in Cardiovascular Practice - A call for papers with Frontiers in Cardiovascular Medicine

Die Blutgefasse Des Menschen (1898), an antique lithograph of the human blood vessels and cardiovascular system. Digitally enhanced from the original plate. - Licensed as  CC BY 2.0 by  Rawpixel Ltd Manuscript submission is now open for a new article collection we are co-editing called “ Data Driven and Model Based Computational Futures in Cardiovascular Practice ” with Frontiers in Cardiovascular Medicine (Impact Factor 5.846, CiteScore 8.2) - and we wanted you to be among the first to know.   The collection aims to bring together the latest quality articles on the strengths and weaknesses of both data-driven and model-based approaches, in a scientific domain with huge clinical and humanitarian impact. We hope to focus on the state of the art and adjacent futures of diagnoses, forecasting, and personalization of interventions in cardiovascular medicine. We especially wish to receive submissions by authors invested in bridging the two worlds to ensure that the best of each is at the
