"Ants solving a geometric problem and it's amazing." This is a great example of 'emergent phenomenon': - None of the ants understand the problem they're solving. - None of them can see the whole shape. - A series of small decisions or rules add up to something with a new layer of complexity.

Had a great visit at TTU as a TechASM Super Speaker. It's a really beautiful campus. Met a lot of nice faculty and students, and had a lot of wonderful conversations. Especially honored to have been selected and invited by the graduate students. Excited to watch all of your careers flourish!

The TX ASM meeting in Galveston, TX was really good this year. Great talks by Dillon lab members Tuhina Maity, and Hasan Raza. Also big congratulations to our very own Anna Evers and Harish Jawahar on winning poster prizes! Fun conference and a nice beach walk.
