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.

@Radical_EgoCom@kolektiva.social at least the CEO asks what he should do. In Academia Dean's & co totally expected it. No questions asked....
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Kelly Mecclinton 's yet unpublished dissertation "Computationally Modeling Roman Domestic Art and Architecture".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.
@cyrilpedia they could have continued calling it cybernetics, but they wanted to claim and true an entire new field, as academics often do.
@cyrilpedia very cool. Since language is for building predictive models of a dynamical reality, not surprising that verbs are most important. Still, general purpose verbs probably facilitate encoding and transmission.
