A major blow to worldwide science and health....self-defeating and short-sighted to assume that it is saving us $. Control of infectious diseases and prevention of outbreaks will collapse without sci funds. The cost of the pandemics-to-come will dwarf any "saving" www.nature.com/articles/d41...

The level of uncertainty and chaos is just unbelievable...There is only one clear outcome if this pathetic path does not revert: US will lose its edge in science and technology way faster that it would have (lost to China). Disrupted science/projects, talent will leave, no new talent will come here.

Complex systems often exhibit bi-directional, cross-scale causation. External Professor John Harte's recent seminar explored work on combining top-down statistical approaches with bottom-up process modeling for a new theory of complex systems dynamics. lnkd.in/grY6iRVw

Canadian friends and colleagues! What is wrong with you? Did you not want massive funding cuts in science? ps. You blew the chance of becoming the 51st state. No barrage of executive orders for you then.

With the battle over proposed cuts to "indirect costs," universities have started to discuss alternative funding ideas to come to a compromise. Wyss Director of Research Administration Keleigh Quinn is quoted in this story from @statnews.com's @aniloza.bsky.social.

"A lot of us went into science because it's not bound to one country or one problem. It's really a global, cross-functional, collaborative exchange. And it would be a real shame if you disrupt that," explains Angelika Fretzen. Explore the potential implications of immigration policies on biotech.

One can reckon that the landscape of science funding is changing in the United States. Whatever happens, I do hope that we see more targeted focused organizations adding up a new dimension to what the traditional university departments and industry research labs were/are doing.

Happy Nowruz, happy spring I have been out of social media since Christmas. A nice vacation from social media frenzy, initially started as "let's just not use it for a week", turned to "a good idea to extend it to another week/month". When you pass the FOMO, then it is totally easy. Back 4Sci 🥂

Indeed...traveling waves are an unlocked mystery and need much attention both from the experimental and theoretical sides. I am digging in this direction too and am hopeful about what the future holds See Matteo's @matteocarandini.bsky.social post on Yves' discovery 👇 (+ see prior post about Yves)

This work is a continuation of the @pnas.org paper from Cristos (Papadimitriou). I like the framework but my prob w it is that after setting up all the requisites, it drifts off from Neuro. It is ok if its task was not to explain cortex/brain "but" their aim is so. direct.mit.edu/neco/article...

RIP Yves you're with us in our heart & mind🕊️ Yves created a fantastic vibrant department beautifully named "Unité de Neurosciences Information et Complexité", characteristic of the spirit of interdisciplinary science needed for studying the brain. I was fortunate to spend some formative years there

Great account on Barlow's legacy by @mameister4.bsky.social Horace was a great visionary. Here are some pics from my visit with happy Horace & his puppy (circa 2015). The visit was part of a book "long in brewing" about biological computation that I am writing about. At 95 he was sharp as a hawk! 🧵
