Professor, #complexsystems Scientist, in the ocean a lot.

The green patches are clumped of the calcifying alga, Halimeda. What looks to be random patches up close become polygon patterns at wider scales. #SelfOrganization hiding in a #CoralReef ! @drdylanmcnamara @anarchyecology @SmithCoralReef @Scripps_Ocean @ASNAmNat @100islchallenge

@CW_Lester Plenty of opinions in equation land as well.

[Dylan McNamara @drdylanmcnamara]

Fun to think about reviewers of famous papers. Someone read “it has not escaped our notice that the…pairing…postulated…suggests…copying mechanism for genetic material” and had to decide - publish?

Dude needs work on his pig dog.

Radical! At first I thought that was you in beard but now I’m thinking it’s you in the back with mustache. And where is BTW? Down in the basement coding?

[Peter K Haff @pkhaff]

Strange to discover yourself hidden away in a ~40 year old ‘public’ photograph.

[Dylan McNamara @drdylanmcnamara]

@DrKingotheBeach @envidynxlab @ebgoldstein enjoy this and then place yourself before I do. https://t.co/7kAafHSNKG

[Dylan McNamara @drdylanmcnamara]

Cormac agrees! And a common thread here is SFI. Disciplinary walls create obfuscation I guess. https://t.co/iVEjP8nvLT

[Eli Lazarus @envidynxlab]

@pkhaff Thinking more:

@ebgoldstein sent me this review (https://t.co/lV2qJ5wpKF) by Dyson. For stylistic approach to complex content, it’s a strong “write it like that” exemplar.

(When in doubt, make the sentence short, w/simple structure.)

That’s style, not process - but a way in.

[Dylan McNamara @drdylanmcnamara]

If you have any interest in granular physics whatsoever, there is no better way to spend your time than to check in with this dude.

[Evan Goldstein @ebgoldstein]

We have a new preprint looking at road networks on 72 US Atlantic and Gulf barrier islands.

Led by @SofiAldabet & w/ @envidynxlab, and available on @EarthArXiv .

constructive feedback is very welcome!

Is chaos actually hard to predict? For NeurIPS this year I made a database of 131 known strange attractors, and trained state-of-the-art forecasting models on each one, to try to figure this out (1/N):

Come on out if you’re in the area - surf/physics/gin! - https://t.co/OZQCc9BPL4

Nope. Our child is named mushy knee high again today McNamara.

@drdylanmcnamara this U?

[Tim Garrett @nephologue]

Maps like these make me wonder why we bother with GCMs. Call me naive, but arriving at the broad prediction that wet will get wetter and dry drier seems to beg only a little thermodynamics rather than legions of scientists peering into big computers.

Our team @ScrippsOcean is recruiting a staff researcher. Fieldwork, analysis, and logistics. Please share, if appropriate. Details here: https://t.co/nasPQKPFe9

I just heard a 6-year-old say she wants to become a doctor "to cure infectious diseases and/or be vilified by half the country."
