@SineadOS1 👋 I'm good! Lots of big changes: I'm a Dad now! Uber -- ;) I've been known to get uber-pools late at night in Seattle in the hopes of finding an irish diaspora... buts its not to be. Yeah lets catch up some time. Where in the world are you these days?

@Kevsational Khev my love how are you! Good to see you’re still publishing. I think of you every time I steal chips in a taxi. Or some version of you that I met nine times before I met you. Call me sometime!

📚 The @SFIPress’s latest project, “Foundational Papers in Complexity Science,” republishes 88 influential papers, providing contemporary insights into the field’s origins and evolution over the past century. From entropy to computation, these papers explore the fundamental pillars shaping our understanding of adaptive systems across biology, computation, and culture. ⚡ The first two volumes are out and available for purchase now, and the third and fourth volumes will be available this summer. santafe.edu/news-center/ne…

Before mathematicians used modern symbolic algebra, they would reason geometrically. For instance, these figures show the equation (𝑎 + 𝑏)² = 𝑎² + 2𝑎𝑏 + 𝑏². quantamagazine.org/the-scandalous…

A couple of years ago I spoke to a member of the panel that awarded me my first research grant on quantum computers (1985). He said it was a close-run thing. I asked if I'd have got it under today's criteria. He said: no chance; basically I could tick none of the boxes.

2016: @YCombinator invested $20k (Fellowship) into my new startup. New bank acc; got debit card with exp. 12/21. I remember thinking, "12/21… I wonder will the company survive until then". Today: that card expires and one client wired me ~$20k. @AwesoundApp alive and well 💪🚀

A simple graphic that should be widely used. #COVIDisairborne It also illustrates that refusal to wear a mask is not macho or libertarian, it is selfish.

Check out our new paper in @NatureComms! During the review process, we had a referee who wrote a report that was unnecessarily personal. Ironically, the same referee also helped improve our paper the most. Let’s all provide useful feedback to each other’s work in a kind way :)
Steven Strogatz@stevenstrogatz

Our latest paper, with star postdoc @YuanzhaoZhang, is out: rdcu.be/clIIu. Imagine you want to get a network to synchronize, and you have a total coupling budget. We show that by varying the couplings in time, you can make a network synchronize that otherwise wouldn’t!

@mszll @Nature @_mschlaepfer Intriguing paper, but why is Tobler's first law missing in the references, where can we read it without the Nature subscription?

Paper is paywalled. Tweet reply goes to visual demo. Also has this text. twitter.com/Kevsational/st… I'd like to know if all this would change when rental eScooters are available. Or even addition of good bike paths. @asymco @oliverbruce @Tweetermeyer @SafeSelfDrive @Ollie_Cycles
