Complex Time - Hallmarks of Biological Failure

Explore an insightful interview with SFI External Professor Michael Hochberg and Daniel Promislow from the University of Washington, conducted during the Santa Fe Institute's working group on Hallmarks of Biological Failure. Delve into the complex interplay between adaptation, aging, and the arrow of time as part of SFI's Complex Time research theme. Gain valuable perspectives on the big questions and ideas driving the meeting, the origins of the gathering, and the diverse disciplines and expertise required to address the research questions at hand. Discover the main syntheses and outcomes from the discussion, potential future research directions, and the participants' interpretations of "complex time" in the context of biological failure. Learn about this collaborative effort funded by the James S. McDonnell Foundation and connect with SFI's ongoing research through their social media channels for further engagement with cutting-edge scientific exploration.
