- Reposted by Vermont Complex Systems InstituteNew paper dropped! Led by @thosvarley.bsky.social and Pai Vaibhav, we show that flows of information within a #xenobot resemble flows of information observed in adult human brains. Thomas provides caveats and context below. w/ @drmichaellevin.bsky.social, Caitlin Grasso, & Jeantine Lunshof.
- Reposted by Vermont Complex Systems Institute🎓 I've joined the PhD in Complex Systems & Data Science at @vcsi.bsky.social to work w/ @lhd.bsky.social & @juniperlov.bsky.social to explore social (complex) dynamics 🔬 Huge thanks to @joanagsa.bsky.social & Lília Perfeito for helping me get ready for this chapter 🚀 Excited for this next step!
- Excited about this paper and the interactive story to accompany it. Congrats @lhd.bsky.social @juniperlov.bsky.social @giulioburgio.bsky.social @sfiscience.bsky.social @unioflimerick.bsky.social and nice story telling @jstonge.bsky.social!
- The interactive story is by @jstonge.bsky.social and other friends: complex-stories.uvm.edu/friends-funn.... The paper is with friends from @vcsi.bsky.social @sfiscience.bsky.social and @unioflimerick.bsky.social.
