1/ "A natural way to bound the system in thinking of creativity is at the skull." "But once you're a card carrying complex systems theorist, you're not tied to classic boundaries." Tyler Marghetis (UC Merced & Santa Fe Institute ) examines 'creativity' through a #complexsystems lens

1/ On the latest episode of #SimplifyingComplexity, Tyler Marghetis Asst Prof @UCMerced (formerly @SFIscience) examines 'creativity' through a #complexsystems lens with Sean Brady.

1/ Scientists are often portrayed like it "was just them cogitating, sweating, steam coming out of their ears, and then suddenly they have this eureka insight." "That vision makes it difficult to understand the actual history of science." Tyler Marghetis on #creativity

1/ "In ecology, you have this fantastic and beautiful and inspiring phenomenon of convergent evolution, where you have completely unrelated species that have been separated by many, many thousands of years, yet end up looking the same in some way. Tyler Marghetis on 'creativity'

At the UC Merced State of the University address by Dr. Juan Sánchez Muñoz impressive progress and rankings. "UC Merced has built a reputation of research excellence but not without consideration for equity"

I've started an essay series about queer middle age, the first piece is about friendships and the evolution of social life. Here's a picture of my friend Jesse and me 15 years ago. We have surprised ourselves at who we've become in our 40s. xtramagazine.com/culture/queer-…

Are there parallels between the cultural evolution of a language and responses from individuals’ brains as they learn that language? We investigate using EEG and an artificial space time language... sciencedirect.com/science/articl…

Education is one of the foundational disciplines of cognitive science (e.g., see the Cog Sci Soc logo), so you’d expect mathematics education (or at least the bits of it relevant to cognition) to be a part of mathematical cognition, not in opposition to it. 4/6

🚨Out today in PNAS PNASNews🚨 pnas.org/doi/10.1073/pn… Why do people overestimate the size of politically relevant groups (immigrant, LGBTQ, Jewish) and quantities (% of budget spent on foreign aid, % of refugees that are criminals)? We analyze 100k estimates to find out🧵👇

Here’s the key figure: people make the same estimation errors regardless of what they are estimating---political and *entirely non-political* quantities. These are 100k estimates of the size of racial and non-racial groups made by 37k people in 22 countries

How do we enter and exit moments of deep engagement? How do multiple episodes of flow-like deep engagement weave into the joys and pains, downs and ups of skill mastery? A formula for a life of learning? nature.com/articles/s4426… Vicky C Yang Tyler Marghetis

Mastering a skill can take decades, but the learning process unfolds across multiple timescales, from mere moments to days. A new paper by three former SFI postdoctoral fellows presents a theoretical model of nested timescales of learning, offering a unified, multi-scale account
