"Elite institutions have become so politically progressive in part because the people in them want to feel good about themselves as they take part in systems that exclude and reject."

If you're off on vacation soon, you can mine this episode of the #EMBOPodcast for reading tips, as Pavel Tomancak suggested some of his favorite Czech #SciFi authors
Hello there! For a brief #introduction, we are the young researchers of the Complex Systems Society, and we strive to enable all early-stage researchers interested in complexity science to integrate into the community. We do so by offering grants, and by organizing events, such as the warm-up of the Conference on Complex Systems (picture of seemingly happy participants from Palma's edition below).
Let's hope we can bring the community together here as well 🤗
"Our study found evidence of higher excess mortality for Republican voters compared with Democratic voters in Florida and Ohio after, but not before, #COVID-19 vaccines were available to all adults in the US."

When I speak publicly about cigarettes being much worse than psychedelics, no one takes me seriously (maybe because I'm DJ on the side :) But, seriously, we are letting too many people die of #depression when there is at least a chance here.

Are biological systems really at the #edgeofchaos? Jordan Rozum presents our recent work @netsci2023 on how #canalization in #bionetworks makes them much more stable than critical.

Super excited to give invited talk at "Network Science for the #sustainabledevelopmentgoals" satellite @netsci2023 tomorrow, Tuesday July 11th at 14:55 (Horsaal 3). I will speak about our NIH-NLM funded work on #epilepsy and other #networkmedicine #socialmediamining #reducedinequality #goodhealthandwellbeing #genderequality #partnershipsforthegoals #netsci2023

And in case your are interested, giving a (4th!!) talk at the "The Statistical Inference for Network Models Satellite", tuesday July 11th at 12:10(Horsaal 4), on statistical and causal models of #dynamics in #automatanetworks models in #systemsbiology https://sinm.network/sinm2023/ #netsci2023
Are biological #complexnetworks near critical? Existing #systemsbiology models are not, as shown in our recent work with Jordan C Rozum, Reka Albert, Kyu Hyong Park, and Felipe Costa.

Such a cool use of PCA (and other viz tech) in art by @schichmax and colleagues!
We did something related applied to Roman wall paintings with
Kelly Mecclinton 's yet unpublished dissertation "Computationally Modeling Roman Domestic Art and Architecture".

In 🇺🇲 it's a scandal (indeed bad) that migrant girl with medical history dies in custody. Meanwhile, 🇪🇺countries do not rescue (or worse) children locked in a ship's hold. Tell me how much more enlightened than Trump and Biden European leaders are.
The power of life being a code and language being a virus also carries the seeds (or programs) of their own destruction.

Muito obrigado por finalmente alguém dizer o óbvio: a descolonização foi racista. Adotou as categorias do colonialismo mais racista do século XIX: europeus são brancos e só têm lugar na Europa, africanos são negros e só têm lugar em África. Os indianos, tal como no sistema do Apartheid, tinham uma classificação especial. Nunca o regime explicou porque não tiveram todos os cidadãos do ex-império português o direito a escolher a cidadania no (novo) país que entendessem. Refugiados foram criados só pela cor da sua pele. Uma celebração do 25 de Abril que não discuta este racismo abertamente, é uma fantochada lírica de um regime que nunca admite o seu centralismo racista.
