Prof at Michigan State U. Trying to understand how the universe works, including people & animals. And plants and microbes. So, pretty much everything. (he/him)

Thank you to Prof. Christoph Adami
@ChristophAdami for the interesting talk yesterday and to all of you earthlings who attended the event thirsty for science AND cocktails. Next event is on May 13. scienceandcocktails.org/en/e… #science #event #cocktails #music

Fancy a smart night out? On March 25 in Den Grå Hal we will explore How Evolution Creates Complexity with ChristophAdami @ChristophAdami Professor of Microbiology, Genetics and Immunology at Michigan State University@michiganstateu #Science #evolution #biology #cocktails

I will be closing my account here. Come find me over where the sky is blue, where all the cool kids are anyway.
New blog post about how you can test theories of attention with artificial brain models. Think your brain can't easily be fooled? Think again! adamilab.blogspot.com/2024/1…

Thanks to @ChristophAdami for signing my copy of his classic book on Artificial Life! Great to have him here exploring collaborations at Cedars-Sinai.

Wonderful paper from @ChristophAdami: Emergence of functional information from multivariate correlations royalsocietypublishing.org/d… #entropy #datascience #informationtheory
I just sold all my Tesla stock. I've been a big supporter of the company and technology for many years, but the risk presented by a CEO who has lost his mind is just too great.
Thanks Vince for an insightful review of my book!
I've always liked informational views of evolution, so when @arvidagren asked if I'd review @ChristophAdami's new book, I was delighted.
It's a great book, and I discuss connections to Maynard Smith and Lewontin's ideas, measurement, Fisher's fundamental theorem, and more.
20 years after writing about the black hole channel capacity for the first time, here is a review paper covering all that we now know about the black hole information problem. Namely that it isn't a problem at all. Link is to a free version of the paper. authors.elsevier.com/a/1jRbC…
In 2004, Hawking was about to give a talk at a conference in Dublin, and we were scared that he would scoop us. Our paper appeared on arXiv two weeks later, but Hawking's solution wasn't one. Charles Seife @cgseife wrote about this in Science Magazine science.org/doi/10.1126/scie…
That our first paper about the capacity only appeared ten years after we posted it to arXiv tells you something about the state of the field. It seemed then (and now) that no one really wanted this problem to be solved. @philipcball iopscience.iop.org/article/1…
Indeed. With the historically documented reluctance by the committee to hand out the prize for a theory, and always preferring the experiment that validated the theory, this one really stands out as blatant misogyny.

"local" in theoretical physics. Don't get me started.

This could be made precise. "Coding", in engineering, refers to the encoding of information, and it is possible to measure if information is encoded in a sequence. There are many ways in which DNA can encode information, and open translatable reading frames is just one of them.

Utter drivel. Seriously.
The quantum arrow of time means the early universe had no entanglement. It also offers a route towards a more complete understanding of the nature of time. newscientist.com/article/243…
Jim Simons was generous and gracious when he offered me a job to do "blue-sky research" at Renaissance Technologies in 1995. I ultimately turned him down because after talking to employees it was clear that there was always going to be more than just blue-sky research.
It is with great sadness that the Simons Foundation announces the death of its co-founder and chair emeritus, James Harris Simons. Jim was an award-winning mathematician, a legendary investor and a generous philanthropist. simonsfoundation.org/2024/05…
