#Complexity means also that single elements cannot be computed individually.

Fix the red dot in this picture for 10 seconds. Then try staring at a blank wall by blinking. Do you see anything?

Is it better to teach by showing 👀 or by telling 🗣️ ?

Interesting paper on #Cognition by Sumers and colleagues:

https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S0010027722003158

"Our findings suggest that language communicates complex concepts by directly transmitting abstract rules. In contrast, demonstrations transmit examples, requiring the learner to infer the rules."

The authors find that telling is powerful because it conveys abstract rules in simple terms, beyond mere gestures.

So here's #extramusic again, Run Logan Run

Who said that complex networks cannot be taught to middle and high schoolers?

Professors Holme, Porter, and Sayama introduce basic notions of network science in a friendly yet stimulating way here:

Great approach for realizing that there are structures we don't explicitly see but yet influence how we perceive characters in movies and...way more!
