Minisymposium proposals for the 2027 SIAM Conference on Applications of Dynamical Systems (aka "the Snowbird Meeting"; #SIAMDS27) are due by 26 October 2026: https://t.co/vRzsjKGWeh
This is our activity group's biennial conference. Come join us!
Agent-Based Modeling: Worlds Within Worlds, PART 2: Last week we introduced SFI’s early explorations of a new approach to scientific modeling. This week, what comes of it:
In 1988, SFI launches a research program on complexity economics. Building on ideas developing at other academic centers, the researchers help turn agent-based modeling from a nascent approach into an innovative tool.
Among the models built there is the Santa Fe Artificial Stock Market, which shows “pretty realistic markets with bubbles, crashes, and persistent volatility,” says Blake LeBaron, one of its builders.
Over the following years the method spreads into archaeology, ecology, and epidemiology. But by the early 2010s, economists still need better data for real-world applications.

Applications are open for SFI’s 2027 summer education programs.
Two residential programs in Santa Fe, NM, offering research and training opportunities in complexity science:
- Undergraduate Complexity Research (UCR): Immersive 10-week research experience for undergraduates, with stipend, housing, and travel support included. Apply by January 13, 2027.
- Complex Systems Summer School (CSSS): Intensive introduction to complex systems spanning four weeks for graduate students, postdocs, faculty, and professionals in any discipline. Apply by February 3, 2027.

This paper holds a special place in my heart. I’ve long loved translation, its evolution and what it can tell about life’s molecular history.
Proud of our team! Read how evolution expanded an ancient translation protein to help bacteria adapt to stress:
