PREDICTING RETIREMENT SAVINGS USING SURVEY MEASURES OF EXPONENTIAL‐GROWTH BIAS AND PRESENT BIAS
Economic Inquiry, 2019 In a nationally-representative sample, we predict retirement savings using survey-based elicitations of exponential-growth bias (EGB) and present bias (PB).

New Journal of Physics, 2018 Explanation of exponential growth in self-reproduction is an important step toward elucidation of the origins of life because optimization of the growth potential across rounds of selection is necessary for Darwinian evolution.

Paradoxical Effects of Tumor Shrinkage on Long-Term Survival of Cancer Patients
Frontiers in Applied Mathematics and Statistics, 2020 In this article, we challenge the existing paradigm that greater tumor shrinkage at the end of treatment leads to longer patient survival. In particular, we identify biological conditions under which the exact opposite is true.

On the Exponential Growth of Geometric Shapes
Theoretical Computer ScienceIn this paper, we explore how geometric structures can be grown exponentially fast. The studied processes start from an initial shape and apply a sequence of centralized growth operations to grow other shapes. We focus on the case where the initial shape is just a single node.

Probing Mammalian Cell Size Homeostasis by Channel-Assisted Cell Reshaping
Cell Reports, 2017 Cell size homeostasis can be achieved by size checkpoints that couple cell size to cell-cycle progression or by alternative mechanisms such as constant extension.

Size-Specific Growth of Filter-Feeding Marine Invertebrates
Journal of Marine Science and Engineering, 2022 Filter-feeding invertebrates are found in almost all of the animal classes that are represented in the sea, where they are the necessary links between suspended food particles (phytoplankton and free-living bacteria) and the higher trophic levels in the ...

Correcting misperceptions of exponential coronavirus growth increases support for social distancing
Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences of the United States of America, 2020 Significance Given the current lack of an effective vaccine to prevent coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19), one of the most effective ways to prevent the illness is social distancing.

Antimicrobial activity of cationic antimicrobial peptides against stationary phase bacteria
Frontiers in Microbiology, 2022 Antimicrobial peptides (AMPs) are ancient antimicrobial weapons used by multicellular organisms as components of their innate immune defenses. Because of the antibiotic crisis, AMPs have also become candidates for developing new drugs. Here, we show that
