Super happy to have participated on this special issue on the principle of dynamical #criticality. It was really fun to expand our work on effective connectivity, #canalization and #redundancy with Jordan Rozum, Felipe Costa, and Austin Marcus. An a bonus for publishing in #Entropy---makes me feel quite cybernetic! #complexsystems #BooleanNetworks #Dynamics #networkScience #ComputationalBiology

Periodic reminder that I've always enjoyed the @petshopboys much more than Pink Floyd. Nothing against the latter, but they never resonated with me like the former. Thank you for the music boys, and very much so for the earnest irony.

Bernie Sanders: ‘Oligarchs run Russia. But guess what? They run the US as well’
So grateful for the amazing work #PresidentCarter has done
We're super happy to have contributed the special issue of #Entropy on The Principle of Dynamical #Criticality in #biologicalsystems.
"Effective Connectivity and Bias Entropy Improve Prediction of Dynamical Regime in #Automata Networks"
#redundancy and canalization play major role in predicting #Dynamics, even after accounting for #heterogeneous #complexnetworks structure, in experimentally-validated biochemical regulation models and random networks. Emphasizing role of redundancy in #evolutionary.systems. #complexsystems
So much cool stuff coming from #mRNA #vaccine tech. Check out @cyrilpedia update

I've since left twitter in response to Elon Musk's repeated attacks on public health and his repeated endorsement of medical disinformation. My account is locked and people can no longer see the original thread unless they followed me before I left.
In light of the Times story, I think it's important for people to see the original thread in full. I've therefore made a pdf available here:

Feel free to cross-post that link to twitter if you still indulge.
#FawltyTowers, which I like and John Cleese wants to bring back, reminds me that in Anglo-US-North-EU Academics, I had to first enter as the Manuel character, not the Cleese or his wife characters. #Diversity is complicated. Be kind to non-native speakers.

Very cool approach to the #control of #BooleanNetworks and biochemical regulation models, using #nonlinear #dynamics and #canalization, by Kwang-Hyun Cho's team at KAIST

Colegas #Universidade PT. Não é normal noutros países a média de uma cadeira fundamental no currículo ser 6 ou 7/20 (c/ 11/20 para 10º melhor). Mais, não é admissível que professor responsável continue. Isto depois de alunos serem selecionados com numerus clausus altíssimos. #portugal #Universidade #Academia #Educação #VergonhaNaCara

The media spectacle of #GenerativeAI (in which AI companies' breathless claims of their software's sorcerous powers are endlessly repeated) has understandably alarmed many #CreativeWorkers, a group that's already traumatized by extractive abuse by media and tech companies.
If you'd like an essay-formatted version of this thread to read or share, here's a link to it on pluralistic.net, my surveillance-free, ad-free, tracker-free blog:

@tiago ahahaha! So true...
@tiago yeah, and then publishing in venues like these gets you invited for keynotes, etc. It seems like these days one needs to just speak of polarization, disinformation or discrimination and have results that reinforce accepted wisdom :)
#RIP #BurtBacharach. So much respect! No one better in laying down tenderness to #music. So many to choose, but here is my favorite.

@tiago is it my impression, or is stuff like this becoming the norm in computational social science in prestigious journals? I see it all the time in nature human behavior, PNAS just this week as well....
