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.

P.S. Though I have to say that the best version of the song is @DavidBowieReal and @Gail_Ann_Dorsey fabulous #DrumAndBass live version https://youtu.be/J4-U7MmpatM?si=lg6DUvroTC5SQfnn
No such thing as #academicfreedom in #Germany: "The university said it believed that art, culture and science are places 'where contentious issues are kept in check'".
@LaurieAnderson ends German professorship after criticism of Palestine support
Very apropos, I have been playing @OnlyAnExpert all day, especially my favorite German techno remix of Oh Superman by @BookaShade . "they are american planes."

Full text now available on PubMed Central. I love PMC and that federally-funded research becomes available to the public there.
"The distance backbone of #complexnetworks" https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC10859673/
Updated third chapter of my #EvolutionarySystems and #bioinspiredComputing class. This semester I added a new subsection about #complexsystems and #systemsScience approaches to studying life, from #artificallife to #systemsbiology. "#MODELING THE WORLD AND SYSTEMS APPROACH TO LIFE"
My latest op-ed is about #polipharmacy #druginteraction, which are higher in Portugal than almost everywhere else in Europe, and how #datascience could help. #dataforgood #health #publichealth
Second chapter of 2024 lecture notes for my course "Evolutionary Systems and Bio-inpired Computing"

A #DJ set to celebrate Blue Monday. A lot of 4-track DJing in three parts to cover the tracks that influenced Blue Monday (Part I: Origins), those that it inspired (Part II: Reaction), and those that were tapping the same influences (Part III). #Disco

Nunca pensei que "aprender a viver com COVID" fosse aprender a fazer com a cabeça o que fazem as avestruzes. Vamos todos a continuar a fingir que não há COVID e aumento da transmissão no Natal e fim do ano. "Aprender a viver" deveria subentender vacinação mais alargada, bem como uma cultura de testar antes e usar máscara com grupos grandes, idosos ou pessoas com imunidade comprometida---em vez de tomar benuron para esconder sintomas. Portugal deixou de publicar analise de águas residuais, mas sabemos através dessas medições que nos EUA acontece a segunda maior onda de infeções sars-cov-2 de sempre (
https://erictopol.substack.com/p/sotp-state-of-the-pandemic). Sabemos também que só a vacinação com a ultima vacina dá proteção (60%) contra hospitalização; ter vacinas ou infeções anteriores não dá proteção (https://www.medrxiv.org/content/10.1101/2023.12.24.23300512v1), e isto é verdade para todos os grupos etários (https://jamanetwork.com/journals/jama/fullarticle/2813910). Mas as nossas autoridades de saúde publica vão continuar a dizer que a mortalidade “é do frio”. (não estou a menosprezar o efeito da gripe que certamente contribui mas padece dos mesmos problemas acima)
Happy 77th #DavidBowie. You were taken from us far too early; may you be free like a bluebird. Thank you for showing us art winning over death. Originally created for Bowie's 70th birthday, I add one song every year on his #birthday, which is today.

If we collected what is actually owed from the top 1% in taxes, we could forgive student loans, invest more in infrastructure and green energy, protect social security and help Ukraine beat Russia. I call that multiple win-wins.
Christmas 2023. Deeply affected by our role in electing governments who, without any constraints, send 2.000 pound bombs to slaughter, displace, and starve babies in the Holy Land. This list is a musical interpretation of that feeling. #GivePeaceAChance

Excited about this collaboration with Reka Albert 's lab, chiefly the work of Jordan Rozum with Felipe Costa and Kyu Hyong Park, just published in brand new PRX Life journal devoted to bridging the gap between physical and life sciences. Life is not after all at the #edgeofchaos? #complexsystems #systemsbiology
"In this study, novel metrics and simulations of experimentally-supported discrete dynamical models of cell processes reveal greater resilience to perturbation than previously observed, challenging the ‘edge of chaos’ theory for biological systems."

Wonderful experience advising MS thesis of Miguel Bernardo Pereira @istecnico , with work conducted @IGCiencia and @BUSSIEDept on distance backbones of #complexnetworks. So rewarding to be spreading and expanding work initiated by George Klir, whose work I first heard about within these walls.
