A series of short sessions on the frontiers of collective intelligence research, linked to the Collective Intelligence journal published by Sage and ACM, starts Thursday 16 March. Join us for an hour of brain expanding content: 4pm UK/5pm CET/12 ET journals.sagepub.com/home/COL

I have yet to finish reading this paper but the little hearts in figure 1 already did it for me. Nakayama, Bokusui, et al. “Tunable Pheromone Interactions among Microswimmers.” In: PNASNews, vol. 120, no. 9, Feb. 2023, p. e2213713120, doi.org/10.1073/pnas.2…

Please join Geoff Mulgan + the editors Collective Intelligence Thur, Mar 16 at 9am PT/12N ET/4pm UK/5pm CET to discuss frontiers of CI research with authors Aleks Richard Mann Eugene Vinitsky 🍒 Simon Garnier + Marcin Waniek. Reading: dl.acm.org/toc/cola/2022/… Zoom: ucl.zoom.us/j/97640057957

Army ant sausage, anyone? They really like to settle in the tubing of Isabella Muratore's experimental setup. #Ants #FieldResearch

Toot!!!

This kind of academic integrity and openness should be rewarded. So, well done, Christine, you're showing us here the right way to do science.

Dr. Dykstra!

Suggestion for the U.S. National Science Foundation: when reviews require more details to be added to a proposal, they should also provide suggestions for cuts that could free up space for this additional info. It'd be useful to understand what the panel didn't think was necessary. #AcademicTwitter

A conference deadline is just a day and time at which the conference deadline will be extended. #AcademicTwitter

Fantastic week for A.I.Lab at NJIT concluded with demonstration of our progress in making #Kilobot experiments more user friendly. More results to come in near future, stay tuned! Great feedback from Simon Garnier and team. Very happy that our collaboration continues. #Science

A fantastic defense talk by (soon Dr) Abid Haque, making Simon Garnier proud! Slime mold rule!!

Ph. Done ✅ Had a really fun time discussing my research on how brainless organisms like P. polycephalum solve life's big problems. A huge thank you my advisor Simon Garnier for his role in shaping me as a scientist. Pic credits: Gal Haspel @[email protected]

Interested in #collectivebehaviour, #decisionmaking, and #ants? Check out my first #PhD paper, out today in PNASNews! Chris R Reid, Simon Garnier, Chris Lustri, Justin McNab, and I studied how colonies of ants make decisions when facing an uncertain task pnas.org/doi/10.1073/pn…
