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.

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."

This Saturday night, if you are in Lisbon. E-Trash heats up the dancefloor at Roterdão Club, Pink Street, Cais do Sodré. #disco #funk #house #indiedancemusic #happypeople
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.
I published this opinion article today in Portugal. Discussing #mentalhealth of university students, #education and the absurd standards for university access in Portugal.

'Além disso, a pretensa meritocracia do numerus clausus é uma tautologia: o sistema académico define o que é considerado “melhor” e depois declara que os aceites são os “melhores”. Mas onde está a demonstração que médias altas identificam os mais aptos para determinada profissão? Alguém acha que os melhores médicos se escolhem pela capacidade de receber e memorizar “aprendizagens” de Português ou Biologia no ensino secundário?'

Super Excited to visit @giaruffo and give a talk at the ,Università degli Studi del Piemonte Orientale Dipartimento di Scienze e Innovazione Tecnologica today. Infor below.
"Netanyahu has a salient interest in the war continuing until Donald Trump ousts Biden from the White House. That would help him implement his three “noes” – no acceptance of responsibility, no elections and no Palestinian state."

Graciela Gonzalez' great presentation of track 2 #biocreativeVIII at #AMIA2023 , focusing on multilingual symptom extraction from clinical text (BTW, less than 1% of published papers on EHR analyze text notes where much relevant medical information lies ). Missing @MKrallinger :)
Graciela Gonzalez, opening the Social Media Mining for Health 2023 (#SMM4H) at #AMIA2023, showing data for how social media data offers a great representative sample of population demographics.
Also, General findings of the shared tasks on #socialmedia mining. Pre-trained transformer models ruling. #AI #MachineLearning #AMIA2023 #SMM4H
Will give an overview of our NIH-NLM-funded research on “Network Science to Model Health Vulnerabilities and Biases” at #SMM4H workshop at #AMIA2023, St. Charles Ballroom, Hilton Riverside, New Orleans. Saturday November 12, 10:30am

Looking forward to the AMIA Annual Symposium this Saturday in New Orleans, where I will give a keynote talk at the #SocialMediaMining for #Health Applications (#SMM4H) Workshop. #medicalinformatics #ComplexSystems #NetworkScience #machinelearning

Interesting benefit of including #noncodingRNA. #NetworkMedicine #NetworkScience
Great interview by @NathanJRobinson. Mimics my transition to $maximalism in the 00s. Another element to #minimalism (not in article) is its protestant dualist iconoclasm, which feels very antibody, antiflesh. As if spaces/objects are designed for the spirit, not the body.

"Vengeful aspects became suspect
And bending low as if to hear
And the armies ceased advancing
Because the people had their ear
And the shepherds and the soldiers
Lay beneath the stars"

The past few weeks have been so difficult due to how the attacks and then war affected all, especially friends and colleagues most connected to the region---and most of all those in place, of course. Any position is bound to upset somebody, when what we need is common humanity.
"love dares you to care for the people on the edge of the night, and love dares you to change our way of caring about ourselves." Seeking solace in music, as it has the power to bring people together, when we most need.

In the XXI century, I will not vote for a president who funds and supports another Dresden or Hiroxima @POTUS more Carter less Bush.
I highly recommend this postdoctoral program with IGCi. The great David Soriano Panos, recent honoree at @CCS2023 Brazil has been a great example of bringing #complexSystems and #networkscience methods into #biology.
