I'll be posting lectures (not discussions) of this semester's "Collective Dynamics of Complex Systems" Lecture 1: youtu.be/FBeL2jabjjM

Register here: necsi-edu.zoom.us/.../regi.../... @necsi.bsky.social

this is a super cool opportunity taking place in London this year! 🤩 bonus: @asteixeira.bsky.social @cgershen.bsky.social and i are tutoring a project together 💫 come do cool science with us!

Check out projects and tutors for @complexity72h.bsky.social, this June at the @nunetsi.bsky.social London. Students: apply! www.complexitynextgen.org/complexity72...

Happy to share my new paper w/ @cgershen.bsky.social, just published at @royalsocietypublishing.org Interface! Open Access🔓: royalsocietypublishing.org/rsif/article... Instead of proposing a new theory, we offer a synthesis in theoretical biology. Want to know more? Read the full thread./1 👇🧵

New paper led by @amahury.bsky.social published in JRS Interface: "Closing the loop: how semantic closure enables open-ended evolution?" royalsocietypublishing.org/rsif/article...

🚨 What if evolution is the ”law”… and networks are the machines that do the work? In this paper (just published) I try to formalize how living systems are non-equilibrium, information-processing, adaptive matter. With a great biological flavor! 🧪🌐🌍🧬🦠 👉 iopscience.iop.org/article/10.1... 🧵 1/

"Information and the Emergence of Complexity" I'm looking forward to an IAIS dialogue with @saraimari.bsky.social, moderated by Gordana Dodig-Crnkovic. Wednesday, November 19th, 2025 17:30 (CET) | 11:30 AM (EST) meet.google.com/gqm-frcd-apg... More info: sites.google.com/view/iais-in...

Hoy recién pude escuchar esta charla de @cgershen.bsky.social que tuvo lugar hace casi un mes. Con mi background arqueológico pensé que no iba a poder entenderla y no solo se entiende sino que está cargada de contenidos filosófico-sociales. Super interesante, la recomiendo youtu.be/0AYs9BGqLXc

A classic... Shows why you cannot deal with variety using uniformity; why you cannot control heterogeneity with homogeneity.

New Preprint: "Scaling laws in biological thermal performances" with a great team led by José Ignacio Arroyo and Amahury J. Lopez-Diaz, including Alejandro Maass, Pablo Marquet, Geoffrey West, and Christopher P. Kempes www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1...

We want our pleasures to last While ephemeral are stars. Before we finish a breath This and every world have changed. We recall the fading past We crave for the bright future While the present seeps nonstop between our shivering words.

3 días para el cierre de contribuciones!! 👉 cs3.es/conference-2...

Continuamos con nuestros conferenciantes invitados! En la 4º reunión de la Sociedad Española de Sistemas Complejos tendremos el placer de contar con Carlos Gershenson, SUNY Binghamton @cgershen.bsky.social 🗓️ 21-23 enero Sevilla 2026 🚨 Envía tu abstract hasta el 30 Oct 2025 🌐 cs3.es/conference-2026

Did you enjoy #CCS2025? Then you'll love #CCS2026! Join us October 9–16 for attending the largest #ComplexSystems conference, where beautiful landscapes🍂, brilliant minds👩‍🔬, and our vibrant culture🎠 will converge in one place: @binghamtonu.bsky.social #CallForSatellites coming soon...🫣

I'll give a seminar on Complexity and Buddhism on October 3rd at Musashino University in Tokyo.

My fourth day at #CCS2025 starts in the physics of self-organization satellite, where @cgershen.bsky.social discussed a balance-based narrative to explain complex systems science to the general public. He gave us a historical overview on the topic and then a formalization of his ideas.

#CCS2025 Complex Systems, Data Analytics, and Human Behavior satellite keynote Carlos Gershenson discusses efforts to make studies of social behaviors as quantitative "hard" science

#CCS2025 @binghamtoncoco.bsky.social dinner! (There are 7 of us coming from Binghamton to CCS this year) Thanks @cgershen.bsky.social for hosting us

Thanks Professor Carlos Gershenson for the welcoming speech on the second day of CCS25!

Thank you Prof. Bela Bollobas (University of Cambridge) for the inspiring talk “From Ulam - von Neumann Cellular Automata and Bootstrap Percolation to U-Percolation” at CCS 2025!

Paper published on the limits of classifiability with Mario Franco, Gerardo Febres, Nelson Fernández epjdatascience.springeropen.com/articles/10.... We show that the nature of datasets imposes inherent limits on artificial intelligence and machine learning.

Imagine all the joy in the world. All joy from all times past. All joy of all futures. All joy in all worlds. And it can all fit inside you.

Feedback. A podcast with Peter Erdi and Nicholas Golledge moderated by Carlos Gershenson.

The notion of complexity is filled with nuance and richness. Data from "Complexity: 5 Questions" (2008) by @cgershen.bsky.social #complexity

Is infinity real? If it were real, then everything would be real, because infinity can contain everything. If it were not real, then mathematics would not be real, since infinity is a part of mathematics. What do you think? What do you feel?

We are recruiting two postdoctoral scholars for a research project in human collective intelligence and creativity at UC Davis and Cornell. Joint project with @enfascination.com, @norijacoby.bsky.social, @oferon.bsky.social & Dalton Conley. Please forward this thread to relevant people. 1/n
