“If we start losing the momentum from what we built, then when the next major crisis is on our doorstep knocking loudly, we’re not going to be any more prepared to respond to it than we were with this last one,” science.org/content/articl…

The origin of chaos theory is usually told as a story about E. Lorenz, who started a revolution in the 1960s. But that omits the contributions of two women who would have been listed as his co-authors today. quantamagazine.org/hidden-heroine… Quanta Magazine complexitat.cat Fundación Sicómoro

Finally a new (and truly enjoyable) complexity explorable by the formidable Dirk Brockmann “The walking head” Spontaneous lane formation, congestion and patterns in a simple model for interacting pedestrians complexity-explorables.org/explorables/th…

- more than 50% of deaths that occurred in the analyzed countries could have been averted - considerable additional non-pharmaceutical interventions would have been required to offset the lack of vaccines. NetScience Nicolò Gozzi Matteo Chinazzi Betz Halloran Natalie E. Dean, PhD Ira Longini
