What happens when a bioreactor engineer points his state-estimation toolkit at football. Model90 is a statistical forecasting engine for the 2026 World Cup and the major leagues, built on Dixon-Coles Poisson, Elo, xG and a calibrated meta-model. An honest look at how it works and what its Brier score really means.
I rebuilt two published CHO cell-culture papers — a hybrid ODE + machine-learning growth model, and a genome-scale metabolic reduction pipeline — as an interactive digital twin that runs in the browser. Here’s how it works, what’s under the hood, and an honest take on what it’s good for. No hosted version yet; the code is on GitHub and a live instance is coming soon.

Taylor as a meditation on time’s relentless consumption of life. A giant golden insectoid sculpture — the Chronophage (from the Greek chronos, time, and ephagon, I ate) — crouches atop the clock face, its jaw mechanically… Read More: Simulating the Corpus Clock: A Hybrid Dynamical Systems Model of… »
