What a week—projects, tutorials, discussion groups, art demo & even a complexity-alife quiz! Thank you to all the attendees who brought a fantastic energy to this year's ALICE workshop.

We can't wait to see you again next year, this time in Norway 🇳🇴

Thank you to @aicentre.dk and @itu.dk !

Had such a great time at this weeks @aliceworkshop.org in Copenhagen. Looking forward to next year's edition!

In case you haven't heard, #Argentinian scientists are live-streaming their deep-sea mission with real-time interactive commentary.

It's genius, mesmerising, and triggering huge public interest and support for #science funding 🐙🧪 And the memes are great! #CONICET #MarDelPlataCanyon

Predictive coding and active inference in a multi-agent environment. @nbes.bsky.social presenting his upcoming work 🚀

Today we had @chrisadami.bsky.social presenting at @itu.dk on the relation between information theory and intelligence—and how Shannon actually didn't really understand information theory 🤯

Train Etiquette Art Posters in Japan ⛩️

Seibu Railways has been releasing these Ukiyo-e inspired posters, in a series called 「電車内迷惑図絵」 (“Drawings of what bothers other people on the train”).

Last week I co-organized the Winter Workshop on Complex Systems, in the snowy mountains. Even though I was only physically present for a part of it, the atmosphere was amazing from the first moment. Huge thanks to my co-organizers, the speakers and all the participants! Until next time! #WWCS2025

🧉 #YerbaMate makes the third most popular caffeinated drink in the world, but it’s unrelated to tea and coffee. The first reconstruction of its genome is helping us understand how multiple species have evolved to synthesise caffeine.

Our participants are already sharing their exciting project proposals for the week! We can’t wait to see how these ideas evolve!💡✨

Super spam of Reaction-Diffusion rarities

Reaction–Diffusion and its variety of behaviors.

Are the major evolutionary transitions describable as phase transitions, as in statistical physics? A great example of this is the transition to eukaryotic cells, as shown by this excellent paper by Jordi Bascompte and co-workers europepmc.org/api/fulltext...
