Two New Superphlyum Groups

Figure 1: The new superphylum arrangement is categorized by differences in larval development. Ambulacaria larvae move via cilia while Chordata larvae, through the use of structures like the notochord and backbones are capable of using more powerful muscles to swim through their environment like fish.

The International Random Matrix Theory for Complex Systems Workshop

Organized by Professor Shinobu Hikami, head of the Mathematical and Theoretical Physics Unit and Professor Jonathan Miller, head of the Physics and Biology Unit, the International Random Matrix Theory for Complex Systems Workshop, held in April 2012, was OIST’s first physics-focused workshop. Paul Wiegmann, University of Chicago physics professor and one of the workshop’s speakers, commented that it was more interdisciplinary than most RMT workshops, because it focused on biological and physical applications of the theory as well as its mathematical aspects.
