Information Theory, formalised by Claude Shannon in the 1940s, is one of the planks of 20th & 21st century science. You can now watch all 8 lectures we're showing from Sam Cohen's popular 3rd year Oxford Mathematics course. Unless that's too much information. youtube.com/playlist?list=…

Just back from the Future for Butterflies & Moths meeting in Wageningen. It's been definitely one of my favorite conferences - a truly lovely and supportive community. 100% recommended. It was great to catch up with so many colleagues 🦋

Scoop from GBH: Harvard — in a historic move — has revoked HBS professor Francesca Gino's tenure. Gino was investigated for research misconduct after data sleuths alleged that data in at least four of her studies had been manipulated. wgbh.org/news/education…

Honored of the opportunity to talk about habitat fragmentation w/ Cristina Banks-Leite at the last #ATBC conference. If you are curious, the conversation is available on YouTube: youtube.com/live/5GiMAPegD…. (also a good reason to take some days off and explore Mexico 🇲🇽!)
