Here is an #Introduction. My current project is about #emergentBehavior in #animalNetworks. I also study consequences of #climateChange. I often wonder how to explain basic concepts of #ecology and #statistics to students. What else: #consciousness (with #panPsychic bias), #seti and #youWouldntLikeToKnow
