If you only learn one thing about #COVID19 today make it this: everyone's job is to help FLATTEN THE CURVE. https://thespinoff.co.nz/society/09-03-2020/the-three-phases-of-covid-19-and-how-we-can-make-it-manageable/

Exponential growth and epidemics

With recorded COVID-19 cases (outside china) so eerily matching an exponential, I couldn't resist making a primer on exponential/logistic growth. At least 3 counterintuitive things about this kind of growth seem worth putting into the discussion. https://t.co/UNqvsybiAL

توی این مقاله راجع به استراتژی پارک کردن ماشین حرف زدن! "Simple Parking Strategies" (by P. L. Krapivsky, S. Redner): https://arxiv.org/abs/1904.06612 "We investigate simple strategies that embody the decisions that one faces when trying to park near a popular destination." "We analyze three parking strategies—meek, prudent, and optimistic" اگه حوصله ندارین که مقاله رو بخونید، می‌تونید سر کلاسی برین که سید ریدنر در مورد این چیزها حرف می‌زنه: جلسه ۳ و ۴ این دوره: A Kinetic View of Statistical Physics Speaker: Sidney Redner (Santa Fe Institute) Spring College on the Physics of Complex Systems | (smr 3427) https://www.aparat.com/playlist/307535

An important and timely contribution to our understanding of #COVID19. https://t.co/Z7PtANnIE2

🧠 1. A very short thread on the power of data graphics and scientific communication. Roughly a week ago, some very smart person* sat down, drew this graph, and saved lives. (*It's 2 AM. Without an economist subscription, I can't quickly discover whom. Maybe someone can help.) https://t.co/eU71Eu60eS

💰 We are seeking applicants for a #PhD 3-year scholarship for an interdisciplinary project funded by CNRS This project seeks to combine the neuroscience and the economic methods to study how humans behave in strategic environments. Economics has developed different models of learning in repeated games. Recent advances in human reinforcement learning suggest systematic distortions in value update. The project will look for ways to intertwine these aspects from a theoretical, computational and experimental perspectives. Applicants will have a strong quantitative background, a taste for game theory and experimental methods and be open to work with both neuro-scientists and economists. The successful candidate will be based at the Laboratoire de Neurosciences Cognitives et Computationelles (DEC) and the Paris School of Economics (PSE). If you are interested, please address before March 31th an email (with detailed CV) to: stefano.palmineteri@ens.fr and jean-marc.tallon@psemail.eu

سازمان جهانی بهداشت: آمار مرگ و میر کرونا ۲ درصد نیست، ۳/۴ درصد است! 3.4% Mortality Rate estimate by the World Health Organization (WHO) as of March 3 “Globally, about 3.4% of reported COVID-19 cases have died. By comparison, seasonal flu generally kills far fewer than 1% of those infected.” https://www.worldometers.info/coronavirus/coronavirus-death-rate/

💰#PhD Position: Networks of the Coast. This project focuses on social data analysis, collective decision making and governance. Possible topics are to analyse coastal land use, marine traffic and decision making related to biodiversity conservation. We use modern data analysis methods to both ecological and social data. In addition mathematical models will be used to explain phenomena seen in the data or to form new hypothesis that can be tested with data sets. https://t.co/Bk8o6YlZcL

💰 We are training 120 #PhD students in four annual cohorts of 30 students across the five partner universities Applications for the academic year 2020/2021 are now open - extended deadline is Friday 6th March 2020. http://advance-crt.cs.ucc.ie/
