#TBT 1973 – Herbert A. Simon published “The Organization of Complex Systems in Hierarchy Theory,” a far-reaching and reasonably accessible account arguing that complex systems can decompose neatly into digestible components.

SFI’s External Professor John Kaag (@JohnKaagAuthor) makes the case for Simon’s paper prefiguring and facilitating our developing understanding of subjects from machine learning to climate change.

Read Kaag’s introduction, and Simon’s paper, in Foundational Papers in Complexity Science, Vol. 3 – available from the @SFIPress: https://t.co/ofkqDOqnn0

The printing press didn’t just share ideas—it fueled a wave of witch hunts across Europe. New research led by SFI’s Kerice Doten-Snitker (@k_doten) shows that social networks & a witch-hunting manual played a key role in the persecutions that resulted in the deaths of some 45,000 people.

For 4 years, I have been commissioner of a March Mammal Madness league that grows increasingly unhinged each year. Bracket just dropped for 2020. DM me if you want in, but be aware that relationships get tested. The mantis shrimp nearly destroyed my family 2yrs ago.

It's easy to take weather forecasting for granted. But what is it like to rely on other nations for good data -- or any weather data at all? Today, @rhersher reports from Mozambique, as meteorologists work to predict extreme weather #NPRShortWave https://t.co/dT4v9NP8iu

It’s an ecological disaster unprecedented in the nation’s history. More than 1 billion animals have been killed so far. https://t.co/mLWjylSUnT
