Reminder: Shu-ichi's CoCo talk tomorrow!

Nos vemos la próxima semana en Bogotá 🇨🇴... o en YouTube.

NIH indirects case update: Hearing ongoing now, and I'll try to live tweet some notable exchanges. Prior to more detailed arguments, Judge Kelley starts off with a few point questions to both sides: (I'm paraphrasing here)

Joint European Thermodynamics Conference, May 26-30, Belgrade, Serbia. Honored to participate in a mini-symposium on stochastic thermo alongside Sarah Loos and Cai Dieball, and other sessions look fascinating. Abstracts due March 15. www.mi.sanu.ac.rs/JETC2025

1/4 In "Do Androids Dream of Electric Sheep?", Philip K. Dick explored the idea that human beings might become androids, beings without empathy, by virtue of too much interaction with automation and artificial intelligence. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_And....

Loved Part 2:"I’d guess that it’s our human limitations [...] and complex environments that require us to form more abstract and generalizable internal models." Very much in line with Pattee's and Rosen's concept of internal models, especially the former's notion of "selective loss of detail".

One of the absolute greatest singers ever. Elis Regina is a very sweet spot for me, combining Jazz with Afro-Brazilian Portuguese sounds. They don't make passionate groves better than this. #sweetsound of Sunday morning. youtu.be/vNezC3IGx9c?...

For those who continue to deny that Trump and the MAGA GOP's objection to asylum-seekers and refugees isn't racist, check out which group, out of all the conflicts on earth, Trump has made a very special refugee resettlement for. Yep. White South Africans. Beyond parody.

1/3 Much recent work from the lab on our #complexsystems approach to biomedicine, but this one is particularly special. A summary of our NIH/NLM-funded #biomedicalInformatics work to build a personalized health library for #epilepsy, via knowledge graphs and #networkscience. doi.org/10.1093/jami...

Ronald Reagan: “Our peaceful trading partners are not our enemies; they are our allies. We should beware of the demagogues who are ready to declare a trade war against our friends—weakening our economy, our national security, and the entire free world—all while cynically waving the American flag.”

Really happy to have collaborated with this large team, contributing with a #NetworkMedicine approach. Proud that @elife.bsky.social included our work on this special issue; one of very few deemed "fundamental", no less. Congratulations @germcells.bsky.social for the vision & bringing us together.
