End-of-2023 message and Season's greetings
Dear all, As we are approaching the end of 2023, we would like to take the opportunity to briefly reflect on this year and the future. This year, we had several crucial successes. We would like to specifically mention/highlight: The paper presenting BioDynaMo’s exceptional performance was published in the Proceedings of the 28th ACM SIGPLAN Annual Symposium on Principles and Practice of Parallel Programming. The work provides an impressive evaluation when considering also other well-established software: https://dl.acm.org/doi/abs/10.1145/3572848.3577480 The first neuroscientific paper using BioDynaMo was published in the prestigious journal Royal Society Open Biology, by previous BioDynaMo member Dr Jean de Montigny as first author: https://royalsocietypublishing.org/doi/full/10.1098/rsob.220217 We organised three international, hybrid meetings that included speakers talking about BioDynaMo and its applications (see for instance https://www.combynelab.com/home/news/cambi2023 ).
