Professionally, I'm the George J. Klir Professor of Systems Science at the Thomas J. Watson College of Engineering and Applied Science (Department of Systems Science and Industrial Engineering), Binghamton University (State University of New York), where I lead the Complex Adaptive Systems and Computational Intelligence (CASCI: https://casci.binghamton.edu/) lab. I'm also Principal Investigator at the Instituto Gulbenkian da Ciencia in Portugal.

Raphaël Glucksmann's "Lettre à la génération qui va tout changer" is a very exciting read. It made me feel very connected to younger generations and the possibility of change. It also highlights how much of a losing proposition identity politics is, with its ultimate reduction of the Republic to individuals and their identities. Effective action --- and indeed the pleasure of being in a Republic, a city --- lies in the universal, not in the individual aspects of citizens. Unity is Powerful.
"'To restore the republic everywhere' is to restore every citizen to the command post in each of us. We are more than men and women, more than rich and poor, more than believers or atheists, more than Christians or Muslims, more than black or white, more than heterosexual or homosexual, more than individual persons: we are citizens. There is a universal part of us that fades away when we don't cultivate it, when we don't regularly make the effort to get out of ourselves".

@OnNegation Cool, but I am not sure why the features he lists are not mechanisms? Also, the cell is not entirely bounded, it is actually quite permeable, and more modular than self-maintaining (whatever is meant by "self" there). These ideas of life as self-organizing dynamics (like autopoiesis) have been around for quite a while, but they have a hard time coming up with operationalizable ideas and experimental pipelines---e.g. defining what is exactly the self-preserving unit.

Our perspective with Leto Peel and @manlius just came out on Nature Communications: “Statistical inference links data and theory in network science”
We argue how Bayesian inferential methods are essential for a robust network science.

How can we get the most from network modeling and data?
Together with @PiratePeel@twitter.com & @tiago we have just published a paper to ignite discussions and present constructive proposals.

Esta cena do boy do PS ganhar 4K eleva meu receio de filhos terem decidido estudar um univs 🇵🇹 depois de crescerem 🇺🇲. Passei a vida a insistir que estudo e conhecimento são a forma de obter uma vida boa. Mas, racionalmente, o caminho em 🇵🇹 é uma jota. Qual aeroespacial qual quê.
RIP @GalCosta. The softest giant voice of Brazilian music. I grew up with her voice as a classic of the portuguese-speaking world, but her ability to innovate always surprised as well. I even managed to play this amazing record on my DJ sets.

We have a new paper out in First Monday about how Covid-19 impacted the identity expression of the #digitalnomad (DN) Reddit community, with KarineEhn and Thiago dos Santos
https://firstmonday.org/ojs/index.php/fm/article/view/12725/10744
We introduce a diachronic orientation-anomaly typology that considers (a) the tension between interactions on the community's core and peripheral topics and (b) interaction-pattern anomalies.
We built the OA typology on top of a non-parametric topic model algorithm (by @tiago and Martin Gerlach).
Today at #ComplexNetworks 2022 I will give two talks summarizing our lab's work on #redundancy in #complexsystems . One focusing on network structure (session 4A) and the other on dynamics on and off networks (session 5C). See you there!

Meanwhile, in the Eastern US:
"Species considered human commensals like squirrels, and raccoons had high seroprevalence, ranging between 62%-71%, and sites with high human use had three times higher seroprevalence than low human-use areas."
