SFI's Stephanie Forrest, Andrea Graham, and Simon Levin teamed up with 
other researchers from ASU, Princeton, and the National Institutes of 
Health on this op-ed for /Nautilus/ about the defense strategies human 
society might glean from a closer look at animal immune systems.

society, passed away on January 5, 2023, in Northampton, MA, at the age

/Collective Intelligence, /a new online open-source journal, launched 
its inaugural issue last fall. The editors hope the journal will help 
stimulate the discovery of the fundamental principles that underlie 
collective intelligence.

    New approach to epidemic modeling could speed up pandemic

The world is rife with rankings and orderings, but these hierarchies are 
only observed after the fact. That makes it difficult to know the true 
rankings of a system. In a recent paper published in /Physical Review 
E/, SFI's George Cantwell and Cris Moore offer a new model to evaluate 
rankings.
