    We're sorry to announce the passing of @NobelPrize Laureate and complexity giant Murray Gell-Mann, one of the 20th Century's greatest physicists – pioneer, SFI co-founder, prophet of the quark. You inspired so many, Murray. You will be missed. A tribute: youtu.be/8bOl0i1OORA

    Farewell to mathematician John Conway. For us, complexity scientists, he will be remembered by the invention of the cellular automaton called the Game of Life, that inspired so many ideas about complexity, computation and life itself. @sfiscience @svalver

    Mathematical reasoning could lead to new insights into the universal characteristics of living systems. For 3.8 billion years, evolution has followed a branching tree pattern, from simple bacteria to complex life forms. But what if the structure of these evolutionary trees

    Wonderful news! SFI Trustee @B3_MillerValue just gave us the largest donation in the Institute's history — possibly the largest single contribution to complex systems research ever — which he calls "a bet on the future of humanity." 🥳 THANK YOU, BILL! 🎉

    It might start as a joke, belief, or rumor. At first, its easy to dismiss. But then it gains a twist, builds momentum, and spreads like wildfire. What causes some ideas to die out while others take over the internet? A new study published in Physical Review Letters offers a
