Their research sheds light on the significant role that social inequalities play in determining the outcomes of a pandemic. Some of the hardest hit regions were the world’s remotest places, as they did not have access to medical care. Taylor and Lisa use death records as their main source of quantitative data for their research.

Language is also a barrier to social inclusion in the US,” explains Lidia. “If If immigrants don’t speak enough English to get by, they will struggle to access resources and fully integrate into a new community in a new country.” And, if immigrants are undocumented, they may live in fear of discovery and so avoid social contact.

As a high school student, Winnie had a passion for both math and the social sciences.

And so it was that in 1985 I began to promote the idea of a new field of “complex systems research”, or, for short “complexity”—fueled by the discoveries I’d made about things like cellular automata. And while they used computers as practical tools, they never made the jump to seeing computation as a core paradigm for thinking about science.

Should we think of it essentially as a practical tool for accessing existing methods, or does it provide something fundamentally new for science? My goal here is to explore and assess what AI can and can’t be expected to do in science. We know the ones that correspond to “known science”. So how does AI stack up?

But, first and foremost, the story of the Second Law is the story of a great intellectual achievement of the mid-19th century. There’s a discussion about H for systems that interact, and how there’s an equilibrium value achieved. It’s exciting now, of course, to be able to use the latest 21st-century ideas to take another step.

But actually Ed had already been involved much earlier with Project MAC.
