If you're interested in physics, Sander Bais's The Power of the Invisible: The Quantessence of Reality is a fun read with artistic illustrations, pithy remarks, and historical perspective. Best enjoyed in hardback, but with a free download available too See my review👇 www.santafe.edu/news-center/...

The #EnergyTransition is unstoppable and is going to happen much faster than people think. This is not a linear transition - it's happening at an exponential rate. The data indicates that half of all global energy will be renewable by the mid-2030s

I'm very much looking forward to talking about Making Sense of Chaos at a Science and Cocktails event in Amsterdam on 27 April. I've never had a support band before - should be a lot of fun! www.paradiso.nl/en/program/s...

I'm delighted to be visiting @columbiauniversity.bsky.social next month to discuss Making Sense of Chaos - more info below 👇 politicaleconomy.columbia.edu/events/makin...

In this paper Rob and I review Agent-Based Modeling in economics and finance and how it can be used to relax conventional assumptions in standard economic models. We suggest how ABMs might be used in the future to build more realistic models of the economy and examine potential hurdles.

It was a great pleasure to be interviewed by Jim Al-Khalili for the Life Scientific program - if you didn't catch me on Radio 4 this morning, you can listen on BBC Sounds www.bbc.co.uk/sounds/play/...

I'm in the @wsj.com with @ericbeinhocker.bsky.social explaining the #CleanEnergy revolution is unstoppable. Despite the Trump administration's determination to promote fossil fuels, the economic and technological forces driving green energy are too powerful to resist. www.wsj.com/business/ene...

Still a few spaces, but only a few so get in quick! This FREE event will be of interest if you work anywhere near the science-policy interface or are interested in how we make research more useful for decision makers in gov, industry, and NGOs.
