Post-identity earthling working on complex systems, networks, biomedicine, AI, evolution. Music, politics, DJ as E-Trash. Life through parrhesia. "E se mais mundo houvera, lá chegara".
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.

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Kelly Mecclinton 's yet unpublished dissertation "Computationally Modeling Roman Domestic Art and Architecture".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.

'The essential problem is that human language is not just about saying what and where things are and which qualities they harbor, such as being green or tall. Language is about what happened, what’s different, what’s on the move. At its core, language is all about the action — to wit, the verbs.'
A Teresa de Sousa é o Zhao Bentang do establishment Americano. Kissinger é um criminoso de guerra racista, demonstravelmente muito mais à vontade com o aparelho do Apartheid ou qualquer fascista fantoche, do que com democracia e liberdade. https://www.publico.pt/2023/05/27/mundo/analise/henry-kissinger-diplomata-pensador-2051185
Enaltecer este género de criminoso é mais uma contribuição para se denegrir e não se levar a sério as democracias ocidentais---A Hillary Clinton que o diga e o Trump agradece.

Am I misunderstanding something?
This appears to be a stunningly irresponsible story in Science, claiming that up to 30% of the scientific literature is fake.

Below, the first two paragraphs of the story.
