The Center for Nonlinear Studies

In 2007, the q-bio Conference was inaugurated through the initiative of the Los Alamos Center for Nonlinear Studies, which is also known as CNLS. A few days ago a nicely produced YouTube video about CNLS became available, and the Center's sponsorship of the conference is mentioned. The video might be of interest to past or future attendees of the q-bio Conference who want to know more about CNLS, which supports a postdoc training program in the area of quantitative biology. The current director of CNLS is Bob Ecke, who is featured in the video. Bob was instrumental in obtaining the funding needed to launch and then sustain the conference series, as well as the affiliated q-bio Summer School. Bob is retiring soon and 2014 may be the last year that we will see him at the conference, where he usually welcomes attendees to New Mexico and says a few words about CNLS. If you happen to see him, or even if you don't, and you appreciate the conference and summer school, it would be nice to let him know. I expect that he would appreciate hearing about the impact of CNLS on q-bio scientists and their research.
