James Holehouse Stochasticity and Complexity

Talk and seminar series at St. Johns College, Santa Fe

Alongside Mahmoud Jalloh, a fellow at St. Johns College in Santa Fe, NM, I organized a short seminar series at St. Johns College on work being done by postdocs at the Santa Fe Institute. It consisted of two talks: one by Anna Guerrero on “What do scientific images represent?” (with the associated reading [1]); and a second by myself on “A complexity approach to rules, regulations and bureaucracy” (with the associated reading [2], see the slides here). There are hopes for this to continue in the new academic year and it was great to connect two local hubs of academia!
