Trying my best to capture what Carl left with us in response to the last question he got: "The goal must be to maintain the integrity of science by acknowledging that no progress in science and technology is made without the foundational work in the humanities and social sciences"

Hard to express how excited I am that we have @carlbergstrom.com over here for a keynote talk at #CCCSS2026 And the topic couldn't be more important & timely to New Zealand as the country is seeking direction for how the research, science and innovation system may (or should?) work in the future

Not everyone was around when we scrambled together a photo of #NetSciX2026 attendees, but we managed to find a fair share of people during the coffee break. What a privilege it was to host this community here in Aotearoa New Zealand.

Biology isn’t tidy. Data about genes, proteins, and metabolites is enormous, incomplete, and constantly changing β€” yet many models still assume everything is fixed and error-free. That’s not reality πŸ§ͺ🧡
