Operads and the Tree of Life. This week Lisa and I are visiting her 90-year-old mother in Montréal.
Friday I’m giving a talk at the Université du Québec à Montréal. The main person I know there is André Joyal, an expert on category theory and algebraic topology. So, I decided to give a talk explaining how some ideas from these supposedly ‘pure’ branches of math show up in biology. My talk is called ‘Operads and the Tree of Life’.
