Use this space to organize your own after hours activities.

==Weekend after the program==

Are there any people who are going to be around in the area the weekend after the program?

Please put your name here and maybe we can plan something for the weekend together.

---

I'm going to be at the [http://www.santafewinefestival.com/ Santa Fe Wine Festival] on July 2nd and 3rd if anyone wants to come along. It's at Golondrinas Museum, which is where I live (so you'll be hanging out with me as a country bumpkin). (JP)

==Booty - June 28==
Find the treasure! Tuesday the 28th starting at 8:00 at the field behind the gym. Be prompt and bring running shoes (or something that will get you through ~3 miles on mixed terrain at a fairly slow pace), a flashlight (if you have one), and $5 for hydration. Sign up below for a (potentially) life changing experience and at minimum a solid break from lectures:

Clio can do a short course in GIS next week if interested, please sign up below and maybe write your background (jk, I know everyone's background by now). Perhaps Nathan can chime in, as he is a GIS expert super hero. We can do it at lunch if you want.

Questions: what software do i need? none. is gis fun? it can be... what will i learn? how to do spatial analysis on anything (location of schools...rivers...people's IP addresses...)

==Present your own research==

there are many others with very inspiring and ready to present research findings, so the idea would be to have the last small session this '''Tuesday''' let's say 4.15 - 5.45 ...15 min each (so cut it down to the essentials! ...max 10 slides, if any!) and leave some room for discussion... so if you're ready and want some constructive feedback, just put here the title of your potential presentation, and we'll see if we get a critical mass that's interested:

- Miles: "TCP/IP: Why the Internet is the internet." History of the early international spread of the Internet, and how the politics of the Cold War are embedded in the current network. 21 slides, 20 minutes, but it goes fast.

-Elliot Aguilar:"You got it from your mama: a probabilistic model of cultural genealogies."

- Nathan: "When does geography matter? From geosimulation to geovisualization."

-Josh A: "Robot Evolution"

- Sean: Cultural Evolution: The toughest gig in science

==Community Lecture, 1930, 29 June==
From Democratic Consensus to Cannibalistic Hordes: The Principles of Collective Animal Behavior[http://santafe.edu/gevent/detail/public/408/] 
Presented by Ian Couzin (Assistant Professor, Ecology and Evolutionary Biology, Princeton University) 

Anyone interested? - Nini

Yep, we have a shuttle already scheduled and seats reserved. No need to worry about transportation. -JP

==Carlsbad Caverns, White Sands, VLA==

Im thinking of taking a trip to the carlsbad caverns, white sands and the VLA this weekend... we can also do some stargazing and perhaps stop at Roswell if people are interested since its on the way....

Its going to be an overnight trip... 2 days... just want to see if people might be interested... i realize its far... but the caverns and white sands come highly recommended for this part of the country...

I am open to doing this on the weekend after the program as well...

I can rent a car...

Heres the route I'm thinking....

http://maps.google.com/maps?saddr=St+John's+College,+Camino+De+Cruz+Blanca,+Santa+Fe,+NM&daddr=3225+National+Parks+Hwy,+Carlsbad,+NM+88220+(Carlsbad+Caverns+National+Park)+to:white+sands+to:NRAO+Very+Large+Array,+Old+Highway+60,+Magdalena,+NM&hl=en&ll=33.94336,-105.710449&spn=4.419525,9.832764&sll=33.897777,-105.67749&sspn=4.421888,9.832764&geocode=FfM6IAIdKumv-SGbTeoLvFZoEQ%3BFR9E6gEdbqLE-SG9sju99z3Ubg%3BFVUG9AEdKLap-SHDIL9nhxjRNg%3BFU7rBwId07qV-SG06Y_KW2f8zg&mra=ls&z=7

let me know if you're interested...

-Raghav

==Stargazing==

I'd like to spend an evening star-gazing - maybe try to get far enough out of town to avoid major light pollution. The next new moon is July 1st, so we might look to do it towards the end of the program.

UPDATE: Given folks' schedules, let's plan for stargazing the evening of Wednesday, June 29th. Those of us working on projects will want to have the evening of the 30th free. I will work on a location and further details with JP. I will also keep an eye on the weather, in case it looks like we might be clouded out. July 1 would be our fall back date. Check back later for more details.

UPDATE 2: We are planning to leave from SFI at 9pm (we'll be there for the Couzin's lecture). Sign up for a ride. We will drive about 30 min. out of town, spend up to two hours in the field, and return by midnight at the latest. You needn't bring anything, but if your smartphone has one of those star-finder apps, that could be cool.

I'd be interested, might be able to get a telescope, and know a few locations. (JP) 

Shweta S : I am also interested, but I have an early morning flight on 2nd July . So, I have to be at Peterson circle by 4 Am for the Pick up shuttle to airport. If possible, I am certainly in for Star Gazing, haven't done it for years. 

I am also very interested... but may fly out on the 1st in the evening... Could we perhaps do this on a weeknight? -Raghav

count on me if it is before July 2... -----Yangjing

I'm in as well! -David B

==Early morning hiking==

Would anybody would be interested in hiking the Atalaya Mountain Trail (or anywhere else) before dawn to watch the sunrise from the top?

When?

I am kind of tempted to do it on a weekday, but I may end up doing it alone. Unless a few people are interested, we could do it, let's say, this Saturday? The sun rises at about 5h45 these days.

==Swimming?==
Anyone want to go swimming with me (Ed)? There's a pool about 2 miles away that's open till 8:30, was thinking of walking down after class.

Count me in for the drowning. When? - Nini

I'd like to join -Yangjing
I'm in. Where do we meet?--Elliot Aguilar

==Museum Trip Friday June 24th==
It's $8 for admission to the Georgia O'Keefe Museum. I want to go after lecture next week; sounds like a cool exhibit about the relationship between photography and contemporary art. Let's meet outside the student center at 4:30pm. The museum is open until 7pm. We can potentially grab dinner and drinks downtown afterwards.
I'll drive down in my car from St. Johns; I've got space for 4 more.

Note: let's join the Canyon Drive walk tomorrow instead. Free art > museums. :) -Nora 
Also, the art museum (modern/contemporary art) is free on Friday afternoons and close at 8. -Nini

==Frisbee==
Ok, look. I (Ed) like frisbee. By virtue of being into science, you people must at some level also like frisbee. So, let's play frisbee. There are lots of ways to do this:
1) Throwing
2) Throwing with our arms tucked in like T-Rex's
3) Imbibing beverages and throwing
4) Spinning the disc on our fingers (ooo fancy) and then throwing it
5) Playing cower (ask me for details)

Who has a disc? - Ed

I would be up for throwing, and also for a game of Ultimate. Thursday evening (the 16th) is free on our schedule. We can buy a disc. -Miles

I've got a disc. Just let me know whenever you want it. -AA

I am soo in. Cristina M.

I want to play cower! With beverages! -Kam

==Dinner at Epazote - Tuesday July 28 at 8 pm==

I have a reservation for 8 pm on Tuesday at Epazote. If you want to join, please email me as soon as possible so I can adjust the reservation. - Cali

The St. John's cafeteria is great, but Santa Fe is also the home of many unique, world-class restaurants. I would like to go out for a nice dinner some night and would love company. Any of the places below are kind of pricey and will require reservations, so please post preferences for date and location and I'll pull something together. Here are a few to get you started, with reviews and menus.

Epazote is one of my favorites and I've always been treated very well by the chef. I think that gets my vote. -[[JP]]

This sounds great - I'd be interested too. Fran.

I am in too. Cristina B.

I am interested too. Leonida G.

==Mountain Biking==
I am looking for people interested in mountain biking either early morning, pre-dinner or on the weekend. If you don't have a bike there are a number of shops around town that rent. -Josh A

==Completed Events==

===Taos Earthships, Rio Grande Gorge, High Country===
Taos is a small town about 60 miles North of Santa Fe. It's known for the Taos Indian Pueblo, an artist colony, skiing, and the Taos Earthships. Depending on who's interested, we could stop by some wineries on the way up/down. The drive up alone is worth it.

Which day is this trip? -Nora

We'll be going this Saturday, leaving at 10:00am

Here's a link to the proposed route: [http://maps.google.com/maps?saddr=St+John's+College,+Camino+De+Cruz+Blanca,+Santa+Fe,+NM&daddr=35.95257,-105.89925+to:US-64+W+to:Espanola,+NM&hl=en&sll=35.988007,-105.711823&sspn=0.846719,1.783905&geocode=FfM6IAIdKumv-SGbTeoLvFZoEQ%3BFbqXJAIdDhuw-SllKxaBwDYYhzHMpwy8Lvl_1A%3BFYLCLAIdPmGy-Q%3BFZhYJQIdrpSt-SkTO_AfiDwYhzFpPdgmCLwHRA&mra=dpe&mrsp=1&sz=10&via=1&t=h&z=10 Low Road/High Road to Taos]

===NRAO Very Large Array===

National Radio Astronomy Observatory - Very Large Array

Its a bit of a hike... about a 3 hour drive... but should be totally worth it. Perhaps we could do this and los alamos together on the same day. -Raghav

Heres the description from the website(http://www.vla.nrao.edu/)-

The Very Large Array, one of the world's premier astronomical radio observatories, consists of 27 radio antennas in a Y-shaped configuration on the Plains of San Agustin fifty miles west of Socorro, New Mexico. Each antenna is 25 meters (82 feet) in diameter. The data from the antennas is combined electronically to give the resolution of an antenna 36km (22 miles) across, with the sensitivity of a dish 130 meters (422 feet) in diameter.

I'd love to go and would be willing to rent a car and drive. Unfortunately Los Alamos is in a different direction (NW) than VLA by quite a lot. I suggest looking above for other trips in planning for Los Alamos.

I think this trip depends on when we go (when is Taos Earthships trip?) and whatever else people have planned for. Note that this trip is 3 hours and there's very little else besides VLA in that neighborhood of NM - this trip would be optimal if we can hook on this visit to any other attractions nearby (or in Albuquerque). Any suggestions? - Nini

If you do go to the VLA, I'd recommend combining it with a visit to Kelly Mine, an old ghost town near Magdalena which is pretty neat to poke around. There is also a great microbrewery in Socorro (called Socorro Springs). Also, the town of Magdalena is in the process of trying to make itself a mini-artists' haven, so it could be fun to poke around the galleries there. Any more questions about the region and I'll see what I can do; my mom is from Socorro, and I can ask her for further suggestions. -Nora

Mind signing up to indicate interest? 
1.
2. Chris G - Have a car, but all depends on when we go... 
3. Cali - I would go, looks cool (can rent a car, don't have one) 
4. Raghav - Definitely wanna go... Can rent a car

===Yoga Thursday, June 23rd, 7:30pm, soccer fields===

===SF Complex===
We're planning a trip to the [http://sfcomplex.org Santa Fe Complex] on Friday June 10 towards the evening.

UPDATE: We'll be making it an official trip. Shuttles will arrive at SJC 10 June at 6:00(18:00), return 8:00 (20:00).

===Soccer, Monday 13 June at 7 PM?===
(I saw this from Victor on the CSSS FB wall)

"Who's down for soccer this Monday evening, at 7?
Rsvp w/a comment
If you have a ball, bring it--and let us know in your rsvp
I think it makes sense if those of us who want to play meet up at the drop-off circle and then walk down to the athletic field cheers V"

===Who already presented their own research===

- Martin: the world's technological capacity to process information

- Yangjing: Relations Between Graphs

- Nadja: Coupling human-engineered systems to improve water management on mine sites

- Tomas: Chemical Organization Theory & Concept's Theory

- Stefani: Understanding prehistory through agent-based modeling and network analysis

===Ten Thousand Waves===

They say it's a "must-do" while here. Just put your name down here if interested. (Cristina M.)

How does Thursday after lectures sound? (JP)? 
//Cristina M: Thursday after lectures is perfect! Though they have this on Friday: https://www.facebook.com/event.php?eid=151999048206158. Thanks [[JP]]!
Given the talks on Thursday, Friday (if there is time) may be better. Do we need to make a reservation (they recommend so on several places on their website) EH.

I'd be happy for Friday night. There are some fairly large private tubs available. We should look into that. (JP)

===Backpacking in the Pecos Wilderness===
I've been planning a full-weekend backpacking trip with a local friend of mine. We'd probably camp Friday night at the trailhead (or his parents cabin) to get an early start, set up camp, then do a lighter hike to summit Las Truchas, the second highest peak in NM. We'd return on Sunday. At a minimum, you'd need a backpack and sleeping bag. We might be able to rustle up other gear. Cars shouldn't be an issue.

Interest:

2. Kameron - I'm in! 
3. Fran (also have tent and stove if needed) 

===Los Alamos===

Los Alamos National Labs

From website: "Los Alamos National Laboratory is a premier national security research institution, delivering scientific and engineering solutions for the nation's most crucial and complex problems. Our primary responsibility is ensuring the safety, security, and reliability of the nation's nuclear deterrent. The Los Alamos of today emphasizes worker safety, effective operational safeguards & security, and environmental stewardship, while outstanding science remains the foundation of the Laboratory. In addition to supporting the Lab's core national security mission, our work advances bioscience, chemistry, computer science, earth and environmental sciences, materials science, and physics disciplines."

==Stargazing==

I'd like to spend an evening star-gazing - maybe try to get far enough out of town to avoid major light pollution. The next new moon is July 1st, so we might look to do it towards the end of the program.

UPDATE: Given folks' schedules, let's plan for stargazing the evening of Wednesday, June 29th. Those of us working on projects will want to have the evening of the 30th free. I will work on a location and further details with JP. I will also keep an eye on the weather, in case it looks like we might be clouded out. July 1 would be our fall back date. Check back later for more details.

UPDATE 2: We are planning to leave from SFI at 9pm (we'll be there for the Couzin's lecture). Sign up for a ride. We will drive about 30 min. out of town, spend two hours in the field, and return by midnight. You needn't bring anything, but if your smartphone has one of those star-finder apps, that could be cool.

Shweta S : I am also interested, but I have an early morning flight on 2nd July . So, I have to be at Peterson circle by 4 Am for the Pick up shuttle to airport. If possible, I am certainly in for Star Gazing, haven't done it for years. 

I am also very interested... but may fly out on the 1st in the evening... Could we perhaps do this on a weeknight? -Raghav

==Early morning hiking==

Would anybody would be interested in hiking the Atalaya Mountain Trail (or anywhere else) before dawn to watch the sunrise from the top?

When?

I am kind of tempted to do it on a weekday, but I may end up doing it alone. Unless a few people are interested, we could do it, let's say, this Saturday? The sun rises at about 5h45 these days.

==Swimming?==
Anyone want to go swimming with me (Ed)? There's a pool about 2 miles away that's open till 8:30, was thinking of walking down after class.

Count me in for the drowning. When? - Nini

I'd like to join -Yangjing

==Museum Trip Friday June 24th==
It's $8 for admission to the Georgia O'Keefe Museum. I want to go after lecture next week; sounds like a cool exhibit about the relationship between photography and contemporary art. Let's meet outside the student center at 4:30pm. The museum is open until 7pm. We can potentially grab dinner and drinks downtown afterwards.
I'll drive down in my car from St. Johns; I've got space for 4 more.

Note: let's join the Canyon Drive walk tomorrow instead. Free art > museums. :) -Nora 
Also, the art museum (modern/contemporary art) is free on Friday afternoons and close at 8. -Nini

==Frisbee==
Ok, look. I (Ed) like frisbee. By virtue of being into science, you people must at some level also like frisbee. So, let's play frisbee. There are lots of ways to do this:
1) Throwing
2) Throwing with our arms tucked in like T-Rex's
3) Imbibing beverages and throwing
4) Spinning the disc on our fingers (ooo fancy) and then throwing it
5) Playing cower (ask me for details)

Who has a disc? - Ed

I would be up for throwing, and also for a game of Ultimate. Thursday evening (the 16th) is free on our schedule. We can buy a disc. -Miles

I've got a disc. Just let me know whenever you want it. -AA

Here are a few to get you started, with reviews and menus.

===NRAO Very Large Array===

National Radio Astronomy Observatory - Very Large Array

Its a bit of a hike... about a 3 hour drive... but should be totally worth it. Perhaps we could do this and los alamos together on the same day. -Raghav

Heres the description from the website(http://www.vla.nrao.edu/)-

The Very Large Array, one of the world's premier astronomical radio observatories, consists of 27 radio antennas in a Y-shaped configuration on the Plains of San Agustin fifty miles west of Socorro, New Mexico. Each antenna is 25 meters (82 feet) in diameter. The data from the antennas is combined electronically to give the resolution of an antenna 36km (22 miles) across, with the sensitivity of a dish 130 meters (422 feet) in diameter.

I'd love to go and would be willing to rent a car and drive. Unfortunately Los Alamos is in a different direction (NW) than VLA by quite a lot. I suggest looking above for other trips in planning for Los Alamos.

I think this trip depends on when we go (when is Taos Earthships trip?) and whatever else people have planned for. Note that this trip is 3 hours and there's very little else besides VLA in that neighborhood of NM - this trip would be optimal if we can hook on this visit to any other attractions nearby (or in Albuquerque). Any suggestions? - Nini

If you do go to the VLA, I'd recommend combining it with a visit to Kelly Mine, an old ghost town near Magdalena which is pretty neat to poke around. There is also a great microbrewery in Socorro (called Socorro Springs). Also, the town of Magdalena is in the process of trying to make itself a mini-artists' haven, so it could be fun to poke around the galleries there. Any more questions about the region and I'll see what I can do; my mom is from Socorro, and I can ask her for further suggestions. -Nora

Mind signing up to indicate interest?

2. Chris G - Have a car, but all depends on when we go... 
3. Cali - I would go, looks cool (can rent a car, don't have one) 
4. Raghav - Definitely wanna go... Can rent a car

I think it makes sense if those of us who want to play meet up at the drop-off circle and then walk down to the athletic field cheers V"

===Backpacking in the Pecos Wilderness===
I've been planning a full-weekend backpacking trip with a local friend of mine. We'd probably camp Friday night at the trailhead (or his parents cabin) to get an early start, set up camp, then do a lighter hike to summit Las Truchas, the second highest peak in NM. We'd return on Sunday. At a minimum, you'd need a backpack and sleeping bag. We might be able to rustle up other gear. Cars shouldn't be an issue.

From website: "Los Alamos National Laboratory is a premier national security research institution, delivering scientific and engineering solutions for the nation's most crucial and complex problems. Our primary responsibility is ensuring the safety, security, and reliability of the nation's nuclear deterrent. The Los Alamos of today emphasizes worker safety, effective operational safeguards & security, and environmental stewardship, while outstanding science remains the foundation of the Laboratory.

==Present your own research==

there are many others with very inspiring and ready to present research findings, so the idea would be to have the last small session this '''Tuesday''' let's say 4.15 - 5.45 ...15 min each (so cut it down to the essentials! ...max 10 slides, if any!) and leave some room for discussion... so if you're ready and want some constructive feedback, just put here the title of your potential presentation, and we'll see if we get a critical mass that's interested:

- Miles: "TCP/IP: Why the Internet is the internet." History of the early international spread of the Internet, and how the politics of the Cold War are embedded in the current network. 21 slides, 20 minutes, but it goes fast.

-Elliot Aguilar:"You got it from your mama: a probabilistic model of cultural genealogies."

- Nathan: "When does geography matter? From geosimulation to geovisualization."

-Josh A: "Robot Evolution"

- Sean: Cultural Evolution: The toughest gig in science

==Stargazing==

I'd like to spend an evening star-gazing - maybe try to get far enough out of town to avoid major light pollution. The next new moon is July 1st, so we might look to do it towards the end of the program.

I will work on a location and further details with JP. I will also keep an eye on the weather, in case it looks like we might be clouded out. July 1 would be our fall back date.

Taos is a small town about 60 miles North of Santa Fe. It's known for the Taos Indian Pueblo, an artist colony, skiing, and the Taos Earthships. Depending on who's interested, we could stop by some wineries on the way up/down. The drive up alone is worth it.

Which day is this trip? -Nora

We'll be going this Saturday, leaving at 10:00am

===NRAO Very Large Array===

National Radio Astronomy Observatory - Very Large Array

Its a bit of a hike... about a 3 hour drive... but should be totally worth it. Perhaps we could do this and los alamos together on the same day. -Raghav

Heres the description from the website(http://www.vla.nrao.edu/)-

The Very Large Array, one of the world's premier astronomical radio observatories, consists of 27 radio antennas in a Y-shaped configuration on the Plains of San Agustin fifty miles west of Socorro, New Mexico. Each antenna is 25 meters (82 feet) in diameter. The data from the antennas is combined electronically to give the resolution of an antenna 36km (22 miles) across, with the sensitivity of a dish 130 meters (422 feet) in diameter.

I'd love to go and would be willing to rent a car and drive. Unfortunately Los Alamos is in a different direction (NW) than VLA by quite a lot. I suggest looking above for other trips in planning for Los Alamos.

I think this trip depends on when we go (when is Taos Earthships trip?) and whatever else people have planned for. Note that this trip is 3 hours and there's very little else besides VLA in that neighborhood of NM - this trip would be optimal if we can hook on this visit to any other attractions nearby (or in Albuquerque). Any suggestions? - Nini

If you do go to the VLA, I'd recommend combining it with a visit to Kelly Mine, an old ghost town near Magdalena which is pretty neat to poke around. There is also a great microbrewery in Socorro (called Socorro Springs). Also, the town of Magdalena is in the process of trying to make itself a mini-artists' haven, so it could be fun to poke around the galleries there. Any more questions about the region and I'll see what I can do; my mom is from Socorro, and I can ask her for further suggestions. -Nora

===Backpacking in the Pecos Wilderness===
I've been planning a full-weekend backpacking trip with a local friend of mine. We'd probably camp Friday night at the trailhead (or his parents cabin) to get an early start, set up camp, then do a lighter hike to summit Las Truchas, the second highest peak in NM. We'd return on Sunday. At a minimum, you'd need a backpack and sleeping bag. We might be able to rustle up other gear. Cars shouldn't be an issue.

==Present your own research==

there are many others with very inspiring and ready to present research findings, so the idea would be to have a small session next '''Tuesday''' after lectures: let's say 4.30 - 6.00 (or longer, depending on how many of us want to / are ready to present) ...let's say 15 min each (so cut it down to the essentials! ...max 10 slides, if any!) and leave some room for discussion... so if you're ready and want some constructive feedback, just put here the title of your potential presentation, and we'll see if we get a critical mass that's interested:

- Aaron: Characterization of microbial promoter architectures for rational reengineering

- Cristina: "Marriage squeeze modeling" .

- Ed: "Shmoozing between enzyme kinetics and classical mechanics"

- Shweta: Role of bio-geochemical cycles in economic activities - Current inventory for US economy.

- Victor: current ideas in interdisciplinary education, as informed by case studies & interdisciplinarity philosophy

- Alexis: stuff related to maximum entropy, e.g., inductive reasoning, impossibility of scientific controversy, etc.

- ...

Week after (last week):

- Ryan: complexity

- Miles: "TCP/IP: Why the Internet is the internet." History of the early international spread of the Internet, and how the politics of the Cold War are embedded in the current network. 21 slides, 20 minutes, but it goes fast.

-Elliot Aguilar:"You got it from your mama: a probabilistic model of cultural genealogies."

==Carlsbad Caverns, White Sands, VLA==

Im thinking of taking a trip to the carlsbad caverns, white sands and the VLA this weekend... we can also do some stargazing and perhaps stop at Roswell if people are interested since its on the way....

Its going to be an overnight trip... 2 days... just want to see if people might be interested... i realize its far... but the caverns and white sands come highly recommended for this part of the country...

I am open to doing this on the weekend after the program as well...

I can rent a car...

Heres the route I'm thinking....

http://maps.google.com/maps?saddr=St+John's+College,+Camino+De+Cruz+Blanca,+Santa+Fe,+NM&daddr=3225+National+Parks+Hwy,+Carlsbad,+NM+88220+(Carlsbad+Caverns+National+Park)+to:white+sands+to:NRAO+Very+Large+Array,+Old+Highway+60,+Magdalena,+NM&hl=en&ll=33.94336,-105.710449&spn=4.419525,9.832764&sll=33.897777,-105.67749&sspn=4.421888,9.832764&geocode=FfM6IAIdKumv-SGbTeoLvFZoEQ%3BFR9E6gEdbqLE-SG9sju99z3Ubg%3BFVUG9AEdKLap-SHDIL9nhxjRNg%3BFU7rBwId07qV-SG06Y_KW2f8zg&mra=ls&z=7

3. Cali - I would go, looks cool (can rent a car, don't have one) 
4. Raghav - Definitely wanna go... Can rent a car 

==Stargazing==

I'd like to spend an evening star-gazing - maybe try to get far enough out of town to avoid major light pollution. The next new moon is July 1st, so we might look to do it towards the end of the program.

UPDATE: Given folks' schedules, let's plan for stargazing the evening of Wednesday, June 29th. Those of us working on projects will want to have the evening of the 30th free. I will work on a location and further details with JP. I will also keep an eye on the weather, in case it looks like we might be clouded out. July 1 would be our fall back date. Check back later for more details.

NB: Some people have expressed concern (perhaps hope) that I am organizing this trip as an excuse to make out in a remote location. Sadly, no; I really am nerd enough to want a quasi-scientific look at a clear night's sky. That is my full agenda, and I'm slightly embarrassed I'm not able to say otherwise. Of course, you are welcome to make out on this trip, but please be considerate of those of us who are not planning to do so.

- Miles

I'd be interested, might be able to get a telescope, and know a few locations. (JP) 
Cristina M.: Count me in and keep me informed. Great idea, Miles! 

Shweta S : I am also interested, but I have an early morning flight on 2nd July . So, I have to be at Peterson circle by 4 Am for the Pick up shuttle to airport. If possible, I am certainly in for Star Gazing, haven't done it for years. 

I am also very interested... but may fly out on the 1st in the evening... Could we perhaps do this on a weeknight? -Raghav

count on me if it is before July 2... -----Yangjing

==Early morning hiking==

Would anybody would be interested in hiking the Atalaya Mountain Trail (or anywhere else) before dawn to watch the sunrise from the top?

When?

I am kind of tempted to do it on a weekday, but I may end up doing it alone. Unless a few people are interested, we could do it, let's say, this Saturday? The sun rises at about 5h45 these days.

==Swimming?==
Anyone want to go swimming with me (Ed)? There's a pool about 2 miles away that's open till 8:30, was thinking of walking down after class.

Count me in for the drowning. When? - Nini

I'd like to join -Yangjing
I'm in. Where do we meet?--Elliot Aguilar

==Museum Trip Friday June 24th==
It's $8 for admission to the Georgia O'Keefe Museum. I want to go after lecture next week; sounds like a cool exhibit about the relationship between photography and contemporary art. Let's meet outside the student center at 4:30pm. The museum is open until 7pm. We can potentially grab dinner and drinks downtown afterwards.
I'll drive down in my car from St. Johns; I've got space for 4 more.

==Frisbee==
Ok, look. I (Ed) like frisbee. By virtue of being into science, you people must at some level also like frisbee. So, let's play frisbee. There are lots of ways to do this:
1) Throwing
2) Throwing with our arms tucked in like T-Rex's
3) Imbibing beverages and throwing
4) Spinning the disc on our fingers (ooo fancy) and then throwing it
5) Playing cower (ask me for details)

Who has a disc? - Ed

I would be up for throwing, and also for a game of Ultimate. Thursday evening (the 16th) is free on our schedule. We can buy a disc. -Miles

I've got a disc. Just let me know whenever you want it. -AA

I am soo in. Cristina M.

I want to play cower! With beverages! -Kam

==A Nice Dinner Out==

The St. John's cafeteria is great, but Santa Fe is also the home of many unique, world-class restaurants. I would like to go out for a nice dinner some night and would love company. Any of the places below are kind of pricey and will require reservations, so please post preferences for date and location and I'll pull something together. Here are a few to get you started, with reviews and menus. - Cali (weakly prefers La Plazuela or Martín)

Epazote is one of my favorites and I've always been treated very well by the chef. I think that gets my vote. -[[JP]]

==Present your own research==

there are many others with very inspiring and ready to present research findings, so the idea would be to have a small session next '''Tuesday''' after lectures: let's say 4.30 - 6.00 (or longer, depending on how many of us want to / are ready to present) ...let's say 15 min each (so cut it down to the essentials! ...max 10 slides, if any!) and leave some room for discussion... so if you're ready and want some constructive feedback, just put here the title of your potential presentation, and we'll see if we get a critical mass that's interested:

- Aaron: Characterization of microbial promoter architectures for rational reengineering

- Cristina: "Marriage squeeze modeling" .

- Ed: "Shmoozing between enzyme kinetics and classical mechanics"

- Shweta: Role of bio-geochemical cycles in economic activities - Current inventory for US economy.

- Victor: current ideas in interdisciplinary education, as informed by case studies & interdisciplinarity philosophy

- Alexis: stuff related to maximum entropy, e.g., inductive reasoning, impossibility of scientific controversy, etc.

- ...

Week after (last week):

- Ryan: complexity

- Miles: "TCP/IP: Why the Internet is the internet." History of the early international spread of the Internet, and how the politics of the Cold War are embedded in the current network. 21 slides, 20 minutes, but it goes fast.

-Elliot Aguilar:"You got it from your mama: a probabilistic model of cultural genealogies."

==Canyon Road Gallery Walk, Friday 5-7 PM==
Possibly followed by pizza at Il Vicino. I've heard that Alfred Hubler endorses it.

==Taos Earthships, Rio Grande Gorge, High Country==
Taos is a small town about 60 miles North of Santa Fe. It's known for the Taos Indian Pueblo, an artist colony, skiing, and the Taos Earthships. Depending on who's interested, we could stop by some wineries on the way up/down. The drive up alone is worth it.

Which day is this trip? -Nora

We'll be going this Saturday, leaving at 10:00am

Anyone interested? - Nini

Yep, we have a shuttle already scheduled and seats reserved. No need to worry about transportation. -JP

==Carlsbad Caverns, White Sands, VLA==

Im thinking of taking a trip to the carlsbad caverns, white sands and the VLA this weekend... we can also do some stargazing and perhaps stop at Roswell if people are interested since its on the way....

Its going to be an overnight trip... 2 days... just want to see if people might be interested... i realize its far... but the caverns and white sands come highly recommended for this part of the country...

I am open to doing this on the weekend after the program as well...

I can rent a car...

Heres the route I'm thinking....

http://maps.google.com/maps?saddr=St+John's+College,+Camino+De+Cruz+Blanca,+Santa+Fe,+NM&daddr=3225+National+Parks+Hwy,+Carlsbad,+NM+88220+(Carlsbad+Caverns+National+Park)+to:white+sands+to:NRAO+Very+Large+Array,+Old+Highway+60,+Magdalena,+NM&hl=en&ll=33.94336,-105.710449&spn=4.419525,9.832764&sll=33.897777,-105.67749&sspn=4.421888,9.832764&geocode=FfM6IAIdKumv-SGbTeoLvFZoEQ%3BFR9E6gEdbqLE-SG9sju99z3Ubg%3BFVUG9AEdKLap-SHDIL9nhxjRNg%3BFU7rBwId07qV-SG06Y_KW2f8zg&mra=ls&z=7

let me know if you're interested...

-Raghav

==NRAO Very Large Array==

National Radio Astronomy Observatory - Very Large Array

Its a bit of a hike... about a 3 hour drive... but should be totally worth it. Perhaps we could do this and los alamos together on the same day. -Raghav

Heres the description from the website(http://www.vla.nrao.edu/)-

The Very Large Array, one of the world's premier astronomical radio observatories, consists of 27 radio antennas in a Y-shaped configuration on the Plains of San Agustin fifty miles west of Socorro, New Mexico. Each antenna is 25 meters (82 feet) in diameter. The data from the antennas is combined electronically to give the resolution of an antenna 36km (22 miles) across, with the sensitivity of a dish 130 meters (422 feet) in diameter.

I'd love to go and would be willing to rent a car and drive. Unfortunately Los Alamos is in a different direction (NW) than VLA by quite a lot. I suggest looking above for other trips in planning for Los Alamos.

I think this trip depends on when we go (when is Taos Earthships trip?) and whatever else people have planned for. Note that this trip is 3 hours and there's very little else besides VLA in that neighborhood of NM - this trip would be optimal if we can hook on this visit to any other attractions nearby (or in Albuquerque). Any suggestions? - Nini

If you do go to the VLA, I'd recommend combining it with a visit to Kelly Mine, an old ghost town near Magdalena which is pretty neat to poke around. There is also a great microbrewery in Socorro (called Socorro Springs). Also, the town of Magdalena is in the process of trying to make itself a mini-artists' haven, so it could be fun to poke around the galleries there. Any more questions about the region and I'll see what I can do; my mom is from Socorro, and I can ask her for further suggestions. -Nora

Mind signing up to indicate interest? 
1.
2. Chris G - Have a car, but all depends on when we go... 
3. Cali - I would go, looks cool (can rent a car, don't have one) 
4. Raghav - Definitely wanna go... Can rent a car 

==Stargazing==

I'd like to spend an evening star-gazing - maybe try to get far enough out of town to avoid major light pollution. The next new moon is July 1st, so we might look to do it towards the end of the program.

UPDATE: Given folks' schedules, let's plan for stargazing the evening of Wednesday, June 29th. Those of us working on projects will want to have the evening of the 30th free. I will work on a location and further details with JP. I will also keep an eye on the weather, in case it looks like we might be clouded out. July 1 would be our fall back date. Check back later for more details.

NB: Some people have expressed concern (perhaps hope) that I am organizing this trip as an excuse to make out in a remote location. Sadly, no; I really am nerd enough to want a quasi-scientific look at a clear night's sky. That is my full agenda, and I'm slightly embarrassed I'm not able to say otherwise. Of course, you are welcome to make out on this trip, but please be considerate of those of us who are not planning to do so.

- Miles

I'd be interested, might be able to get a telescope, and know a few locations. (JP) 
Cristina M.: Count me in and keep me informed. Great idea, Miles! 

Shweta S : I am also interested, but I have an early morning flight on 2nd July . So, I have to be at Peterson circle by 4 Am for the Pick up shuttle to airport. If possible, I am certainly in for Star Gazing, haven't done it for years. 

I am also very interested... but may fly out on the 1st in the evening... Could we perhaps do this on a weeknight? -Raghav

count on me if it is before July 2... -----Yangjing

==Early morning hiking==

Would anybody would be interested in hiking the Atalaya Mountain Trail (or anywhere else) before dawn to watch the sunrise from the top?

When?

I am kind of tempted to do it on a weekday, but I may end up doing it alone. Unless a few people are interested, we could do it, let's say, this Saturday? The sun rises at about 5h45 these days.

==Swimming?==
Anyone want to go swimming with me (Ed)? There's a pool about 2 miles away that's open till 8:30, was thinking of walking down after class.

Count me in for the drowning. When? - Nini

I'd like to join -Yangjing
I'm in. Where do we meet?--Elliot Aguilar

==Museum Trip Friday June 24th==
It's $8 for admission to the Georgia O'Keefe Museum. I want to go after lecture next week; sounds like a cool exhibit about the relationship between photography and contemporary art. Let's meet outside the student center at 4:30pm. The museum is open until 7pm. We can potentially grab dinner and drinks downtown afterwards.
I'll drive down in my car from St. Johns; I've got space for 4 more.

1. Nora 
2. 
3. Erik 
4. 
5. Yangjing 

==Frisbee==
Ok, look. I (Ed) like frisbee. By virtue of being into science, you people must at some level also like frisbee. So, let's play frisbee. There are lots of ways to do this:
1) Throwing
2) Throwing with our arms tucked in like T-Rex's
3) Imbibing beverages and throwing
4) Spinning the disc on our fingers (ooo fancy) and then throwing it
5) Playing cower (ask me for details)

Who has a disc? - Ed

I would be up for throwing, and also for a game of Ultimate. Thursday evening (the 16th) is free on our schedule. We can buy a disc. -Miles

I've got a disc. Just let me know whenever you want it. -AA

I am soo in. Cristina M.

I want to play cower! With beverages! -Kam

==A Nice Dinner Out==

The St. John's cafeteria is great, but Santa Fe is also the home of many unique, world-class restaurants. I would like to go out for a nice dinner some night and would love company. Any of the places below are kind of pricey and will require reservations, so please post preferences for date and location and I'll pull something together. Here are a few to get you started, with reviews and menus. - Cali (weakly prefers La Plazuela or Martín)

Epazote is one of my favorites and I've always been treated very well by the chef. I think that gets my vote. -[[JP]]

This sounds great - I'd be interested too. Fran.

Crutchfield, Jim (2009). "The Hidden Fragility of Complex Systems: Consequences of Change, Changes of Consequences". http://www.santafe.edu/media/workingpapers/09-12-045.pdf
-This paper is Jim's rough answer to his own question; we should consider it our ur-text for this project. It is non-technical reading (something like a long op-ed) but sketches out basic definitions of fragility, complexity, and the sorts of problems he sees as needing answers. It also has some references we may want to explore further. MDT

Johnson, Simon. "13 Bankers and the Next Financial Meltdown" (.pdf). http://ineteconomics.org/sites/inet.civicactions.net/files/INETSession8-SimonJohnson_0.pdf - Jim's paper points to the economy as 'complex', and argues this complexity created fragility that led to the recent crisis. Johnson's argument is a bit different: increasing concentration of wealth among a few key financial firms led to regulatory capture and strong homogeneity in that sector. From our perspective, this process ''reduced'' the complexity of the financial-political system, and made it prone to failure. MDT

Mdtownes: /* Rodeo de Santa Fe, June 22 */

{{Complex Systems Summer School 2011}}

Use this space to organize your own after hours activities.

==Present your own research==

there are many others with very inspiring and ready to present research findings, so the idea would be to have a small session next '''Tuesday''' after lectures: let's say 4.30 - 6.00 (or longer, depending on how many of us want to / are ready to present) ...let's say 15 min each (so cut it down to the essentials! ...max 10 slides, if any!) and leave some room for discussion... so if you're ready and want some constructive feedback, just put here the title of your potential presentation, and we'll see if we get a critical mass that's interested:

- Aaron: Characterization of microbial promoter architectures for rational reengineering

- Cristina: "Marriage squeeze modeling" .

- Ed: "Shmoozing between enzyme kinetics and classical mechanics"

- Shweta: Role of bio-geochemical cycles in economic activities - Current inventory for US economy.

- Victor: current ideas in interdisciplinary education, as informed by case studies & interdisciplinarity philosophy

- Alexis: stuff related to maximum entropy, e.g., inductive reasoning, impossibility of scientific controversy, etc.

- ...

Week after (last week):

- Ryan: complexity

- Miles: "TCP/IP: Why the Internet is the internet." History of the early international spread of the Internet, and how the politics of the Cold War are embedded in the current network. 21 slides, 20 minutes, but it goes fast.

==Taos Earthships, Rio Grande Gorge, High Country==
Taos is a small town about 60 miles North of Santa Fe. It's known for the Taos Indian Pueblo, an artist colony, skiing, and the Taos Earthships. Depending on who's interested, we could stop by some wineries on the way up/down. The drive up alone is worth it.

Please add your car and seats if you have one

==Community Lecture, 1930, 29 June==
From Democratic Consensus to Cannibalistic Hordes: The Principles of Collective Animal Behavior[http://santafe.edu/gevent/detail/public/408/] 
Presented by Ian Couzin (Assistant Professor, Ecology and Evolutionary Biology, Princeton University) 

Anyone interested? - Nini

Yep, we have a shuttle already scheduled and seats reserved. No need to worry about transportation. -JP

==Los Alamos==

Los Alamos National Labs

From website: "Los Alamos National Laboratory is a premier national security research institution, delivering scientific and engineering solutions for the nation's most crucial and complex problems. Our primary responsibility is ensuring the safety, security, and reliability of the nation's nuclear deterrent. The Los Alamos of today emphasizes worker safety, effective operational safeguards & security, and environmental stewardship, while outstanding science remains the foundation of the Laboratory. In addition to supporting the Lab's core national security mission, our work advances bioscience, chemistry, computer science, earth and environmental sciences, materials science, and physics disciplines."

I'd like to go, and I can rent a car if there's an interested group. -Clio

I'd like to go too! -Raghav

count me in! -ryan j

If this is 25th or 26th, I'd love to join! - Taka

Some people are going on to Los Alamos from the Bandelier/Valles Caldera trip this Saturday. - Nini

==NRAO Very Large Array==

National Radio Astronomy Observatory - Very Large Array

Its a bit of a hike... about a 3 hour drive... but should be totally worth it. Perhaps we could do this and los alamos together on the same day. -Raghav

Heres the description from the website(http://www.vla.nrao.edu/)-

The Very Large Array, one of the world's premier astronomical radio observatories, consists of 27 radio antennas in a Y-shaped configuration on the Plains of San Agustin fifty miles west of Socorro, New Mexico. Each antenna is 25 meters (82 feet) in diameter. The data from the antennas is combined electronically to give the resolution of an antenna 36km (22 miles) across, with the sensitivity of a dish 130 meters (422 feet) in diameter.

I'd love to go and would be willing to rent a car and drive. Unfortunately Los Alamos is in a different direction (NW) than VLA by quite a lot. I suggest looking above for other trips in planning for Los Alamos.

I think this trip depends on when we go (when is Taos Earthships trip?) and whatever else people have planned for. Note that this trip is 3 hours and there's very little else besides VLA in that neighborhood of NM - this trip would be optimal if we can hook on this visit to any other attractions nearby (or in Albuquerque). Any suggestions? - Nini

If you do go to the VLA, I'd recommend combining it with a visit to Kelly Mine, an old ghost town near Magdalena which is pretty neat to poke around. There is also a great microbrewery in Socorro (called Socorro Springs). Also, the town of Magdalena is in the process of trying to make itself a mini-artists' haven, so it could be fun to poke around the galleries there. Any more questions about the region and I'll see what I can do; my mom is from Socorro, and I can ask her for further suggestions. -Nora

Mind signing up to indicate interest? 
1. Nini - Can rent a car 
2. Chris G - Have a car, but all depends on when we go... 
3. Cali - I would go, looks cool (can rent a car, don't have one) 
4. Raghav - Definitely wanna go... Can rent a car 

==Stargazing==

I'd like to spend an evening star-gazing - maybe try to get far enough out of town to avoid major light pollution. The next new moon is July 1st, so we might look to do it towards the end of the program.

UPDATE: Given folks' schedules, let's plan for stargazing the evening of Wednesday, June 29th. Those of us working on projects will want to have the evening of the 30th free. I will work on a location and further details with JP. I will also keep an eye on the weather, in case it looks like we might be clouded out. July 1 would be our fall back date. Check back later for more details.

NB: Some people have expressed concern (perhaps hope) that I am organizing this trip as an excuse to make out in a remote location. Sadly, no; I really am nerd enough to want a quasi-scientific look at a clear night's sky. That is my full agenda, and I'm slightly embarrassed I'm not able to say otherwise. Of course, you are welcome to make out on this trip, but please be considerate of those of us who are not planning to do so.

- Miles

I'd be interested, might be able to get a telescope, and know a few locations. (JP) 
Cristina M.: Count me in and keep me informed. Great idea, Miles! 

Shweta S : I am also interested, but I have an early morning flight on 2nd July . So, I have to be at Peterson circle by 4 Am for the Pick up shuttle to airport. If possible, I am certainly in for Star Gazing, haven't done it for years. 

I am also very interested... but may fly out on the 1st in the evening... Could we perhaps do this on a weeknight? -Raghav

count on me if it is before July 2... -----Yangjing

==Early morning hiking==

Would anybody would be interested in hiking the Atalaya Mountain Trail (or anywhere else) before dawn to watch the sunrise from the top?

When?

I am kind of tempted to do it on a weekday, but I may end up doing it alone. Unless a few people are interested, we could do it, let's say, this Saturday? The sun rises at about 5h45 these days.

==Swimming?==
Anyone want to go swimming with me (Ed)? There's a pool about 2 miles away that's open till 8:30, was thinking of walking down after class.

Count me in for the drowning. When? - Nini

I'd like to join -Yangjing

==Museum Trip Friday June 24th==
It's $8 for admission to the Georgia O'Keefe Museum. I want to go after lecture next week; sounds like a cool exhibit about the relationship between photography and contemporary art. Let's meet outside the student center at 4:30pm. The museum is open until 7pm. We can potentially grab dinner and drinks downtown afterwards.
I'll drive down in my car from St. Johns; I've got space for 4 more.

==After summerschool ==
I (Evelien van der Hurk) have got a couple of days after the summer school, and am (kind of) planning to drive around to Mesa Verde, Monument Valley, and if there is time: sky highway/Silverton. Is supposed to be pretty amazing. I will arrange to be 'back' on wednesday 6 july at 14:00h at Albuquerque airport, or before that - leaving at least 4 days for traveling, when leaving on Saturday. So, if anyone is interested to join me to drive around (I will need to rent a car), let me know (ehurk at rsm dot nl). Some links to pictures are below.

And just google fot pictures at google : 'million dollar highway colorado'

==Frisbee==
Ok, look. I (Ed) like frisbee. By virtue of being into science, you people must at some level also like frisbee. So, let's play frisbee. There are lots of ways to do this:
1) Throwing
2) Throwing with our arms tucked in like T-Rex's
3) Imbibing beverages and throwing
4) Spinning the disc on our fingers (ooo fancy) and then throwing it
5) Playing cower (ask me for details)

Who has a disc? - Ed

I would be up for throwing, and also for a game of Ultimate. Thursday evening (the 16th) is free on our schedule. We can buy a disc. -Miles

I've got a disc. Just let me know whenever you want it. -AA

I am soo in. Cristina M.

I want to play cower! With beverages! -Kam

==A Nice Dinner Out==

The St. John's cafeteria is great, but Santa Fe is also the home of many unique, world-class restaurants. I would like to go out for a nice dinner some night and would love company. Any of the places below are kind of pricey and will require reservations, so please post preferences for date and location and I'll pull something together. Here are a few to get you started, with reviews and menus. - Cali (weakly prefers La Plazuela or Martín)

==Completed Events==

===SF Complex===
We're planning a trip to the [http://sfcomplex.org Santa Fe Complex] on Friday June 10 towards the evening.

===Soccer, Monday 13 June at 7 PM?===
(I saw this from Victor on the CSSS FB wall)

"Who's down for soccer this Monday evening, at 7?
Rsvp w/a comment
If you have a ball, bring it--and let us know in your rsvp
I think it makes sense if those of us who want to play meet up at the drop-off circle and then walk down to the athletic field cheers V"

===Who already presented their own research===

- Martin: the world's technological capacity to process information

- Yangjing: Relations Between Graphs

- Nadja: Coupling human-engineered systems to improve water management on mine sites

===Ten Thousand Waves===

They say it's a "must-do" while here. Just put your name down here if interested. (Cristina M.)

How does Thursday after lectures sound? (JP)? 
//Cristina M: Thursday after lectures is perfect! Though they have this on Friday: https://www.facebook.com/event.php?eid=151999048206158. Thanks [[JP]]!
Given the talks on Thursday, Friday (if there is time) may be better. Do we need to make a reservation (they recommend so on several places on their website) EH.

I'd be happy for Friday night. There are some fairly large private tubs available. We should look into that. (JP)

===Backpacking in the Pecos Wilderness===
I've been planning a full-weekend backpacking trip with a local friend of mine. We'd probably camp Friday night at the trailhead (or his parents cabin) to get an early start, set up camp, then do a lighter hike to summit Las Truchas, the second highest peak in NM. We'd return on Sunday. At a minimum, you'd need a backpack and sleeping bag. We might be able to rustle up other gear. Cars shouldn't be an issue.

Interest: 
1. Chris G. 
2. Kameron - I'm in! 
3. Fran (also have tent and stove if needed)

Anyone want to go swimming with me (Ed)? There's a pool about 2 miles away that's open till 8:30, was thinking of walking down after class.

Count me in for the drowning. When? - Nini

I'd like to join -Yangjing

==Ten Thousand Waves==

They say it's a "must-do" while here. Just put your name down here if interested. (Cristina M.)

How does Thursday after lectures sound? (JP)? 
//Cristina M: Thursday after lectures is perfect! Though they have this on Friday: https://www.facebook.com/event.php?eid=151999048206158. Thanks [[JP]]!
Given the talks on Thursday, Friday (if there is time) may be better. Do we need to make a reservation (they recommend so on several places on their website) EH.

I'd be happy for Friday night. There are some fairly large private tubs available. We should look into that. (JP)

==Museum Trip Friday June 24th==
It's $8 for admission to the Georgia O'Keefe Museum. I want to go after lecture next week; sounds like a cool exhibit about the relationship between photography and contemporary art. Let's meet outside the student center at 4:30pm. The museum is open until 7pm. We can potentially grab dinner and drinks downtown afterwards.
I'll drive down in my car from St. Johns; I've got space for 4 more.

==After summerschool ==
I (Evelien van der Hurk) have got a couple of days after the summer school, and am (kind of) planning to drive around to Mesa Verde, Monument Valley, and if there is time: sky highway/Silverton. Is supposed to be pretty amazing. I will arrange to be 'back' on wednesday 6 july at 14:00h at Albuquerque airport, or before that - leaving at least 4 days for traveling, when leaving on Saturday. So, if anyone is interested to join me to drive around (I will need to rent a car), let me know (ehurk at rsm dot nl). Some links to pictures are below.

==Frisbee==
Ok, look. I (Ed) like frisbee. By virtue of being into science, you people must at some level also like frisbee. So, let's play frisbee. There are lots of ways to do this:
1) Throwing
2) Throwing with our arms tucked in like T-Rex's
3) Imbibing beverages and throwing
4) Spinning the disc on our fingers (ooo fancy) and then throwing it
5) Playing cower (ask me for details)

Who has a disc? - Ed

I would be up for throwing, and also for a game of Ultimate. Thursday evening (the 16th) is free on our schedule. We can buy a disc. -Miles

I've got a disc. Just let me know whenever you want it. -AA

I am soo in. Cristina M.

I want to play cower! With beverages! -Kam

==A Nice Dinner Out==

The St. John's cafeteria is great, but Santa Fe is also the home of many unique, world-class restaurants. I would like to go out for a nice dinner some night and would love company. Any of the places below are kind of pricey and will require reservations, so please post preferences for date and location and I'll pull something together. Here are a few to get you started, with reviews and menus. - Cali (weakly prefers La Plazuela or Martín)

==Present your own research==

there are many others with very inspiring and ready to present research findings, so the idea would be to have a small session next '''Tuesday''' after lectures: let's say 4.30 - 6.00 (or longer, depending on how many of us want to / are ready to present) ...let's say 15 min each (so cut it down to the essentials! ...max 10 slides, if any!) and leave some room for discussion... so if you're ready and want some constructive feedback, just put here the title of your potential presentation, and we'll see if we get a critical mass that's interested:

- Aaron: Characterization of microbial promoter architectures for rational reengineering

- Cristina: "Marriage squeeze modeling" .

- Ed: "Shmoozing between enzyme kinetics and classical mechanics"

- Shweta: Role of bio-geochemical cycles in economic activities - Current inventory for US economy.

- Victor: current ideas in interdisciplinary education, as informed by case studies & interdisciplinarity philosophy

- Alexis: stuff related to maximum entropy, e.g., inductive reasoning, impossibility of scientific controversy, etc.

- ...

Week after (last week):

- Ryan: complexity

- Miles: "TCP/IP: Why the Internet is the internet." History of the early international spread of the Internet, and how the politics of the Cold War are embedded in the current network. 21 slides, 20 minutes, but it goes fast.

==Yo La Tengo in Santa Fe, 17 June==

For anyone interested, they're playing in town.

I might be interested in attending if others are going - Josh 

Anna, Eugenia, and I just got tickets. http://www.thirstyearfestival.com/concerts.html#yo We have 1 more seat left in the car. -Lydia

==Taos Earthships, Rio Grande Gorge, High Country==
Taos is a small town about 60 miles North of Santa Fe. It's known for the Taos Indian Pueblo, an artist colony, skiing, and the Taos Earthships. Depending on who's interested, we could stop by some wineries on the way up/down. The drive up alone is worth it.

When is this happening? -N

Please add your car and seats if you have one

Anyone interested? - Nini

Yep, we have a shuttle already scheduled and seats reserved. No need to worry about transportation. -JP

==Los Alamos==

Los Alamos National Labs

From website: "Los Alamos National Laboratory is a premier national security research institution, delivering scientific and engineering solutions for the nation's most crucial and complex problems. Our primary responsibility is ensuring the safety, security, and reliability of the nation's nuclear deterrent. The Los Alamos of today emphasizes worker safety, effective operational safeguards & security, and environmental stewardship, while outstanding science remains the foundation of the Laboratory. In addition to supporting the Lab's core national security mission, our work advances bioscience, chemistry, computer science, earth and environmental sciences, materials science, and physics disciplines."

Check it out at lanl.gov

I'd like to go, and I can rent a car if there's an interested group. -Clio

I'd like to go too! -Raghav

count me in! -ryan j

If this is 25th or 26th, I'd love to join! - Taka

Some people are going on to Los Alamos from the Bandelier/Valles Caldera trip this Saturday. - Nini

==NRAO Very Large Array==

National Radio Astronomy Observatory - Very Large Array

Its a bit of a hike... about a 3 hour drive... but should be totally worth it. Perhaps we could do this and los alamos together on the same day. -Raghav

Heres the description from the website(http://www.vla.nrao.edu/)-

The Very Large Array, one of the world's premier astronomical radio observatories, consists of 27 radio antennas in a Y-shaped configuration on the Plains of San Agustin fifty miles west of Socorro, New Mexico. Each antenna is 25 meters (82 feet) in diameter. The data from the antennas is combined electronically to give the resolution of an antenna 36km (22 miles) across, with the sensitivity of a dish 130 meters (422 feet) in diameter.

I'd love to go and would be willing to rent a car and drive. Unfortunately Los Alamos is in a different direction (NW) than VLA by quite a lot. I suggest looking above for other trips in planning for Los Alamos.

I think this trip depends on when we go (when is Taos Earthships trip?) and whatever else people have planned for. Note that this trip is 3 hours and there's very little else besides VLA in that neighborhood of NM - this trip would be optimal if we can hook on this visit to any other attractions nearby (or in Albuquerque). Any suggestions? - Nini

If you do go to the VLA, I'd recommend combining it with a visit to Kelly Mine, an old ghost town near Magdalena which is pretty neat to poke around. There is also a great microbrewery in Socorro (called Socorro Springs). Also, the town of Magdalena is in the process of trying to make itself a mini-artists' haven, so it could be fun to poke around the galleries there. Any more questions about the region and I'll see what I can do; my mom is from Socorro, and I can ask her for further suggestions. -Nora

Mind signing up to indicate interest? 
1. Nini - Can rent a car 
2. Chris G - Have a car, but all depends on when we go... 
3. Cali - I would go, looks cool (can rent a car, don't have one) 
4. Raghav - Definitely wanna go... Can rent a car 

==Backpacking in the Pecos Wilderness==
I've been planning a full-weekend backpacking trip with a local friend of mine. We'd probably camp Friday night at the trailhead (or his parents cabin) to get an early start, set up camp, then do a lighter hike to summit Las Truchas, the second highest peak in NM. We'd return on Sunday. At a minimum, you'd need a backpack and sleeping bag. We might be able to rustle up other gear. Cars shouldn't be an issue.

Interest: 
1. Chris G. 
2. Kameron - I'm in! 
3. Fran (also have tent and stove if needed) 

==Stargazing==

I'd like to spend an evening star-gazing - maybe try to get far enough out of town to avoid major light pollution. The next new moon is July 1st, so we might look to do it towards the end of the program. - Miles

I'd be interested, might be able to get a telescope, and know a few locations. (JP) 
Cristina M.: Count me in and keep me informed. Great idea, Miles! 

Shweta S : I am also interested, but I have an early morning flight on 2nd July . So, I have to be at Peterson circle by 4 Am for the Pick up shuttle to airport. If possible, I am certainly in for Star Gazing, haven't done it for years. 

I am also very interested... but may fly out on the 1st in the evening... Could we perhaps do this on a weeknight? -Raghav

count on me if it is before July 2... -----Yangjing

==Early morning hiking==

Would anybody would be interested in hiking the Atalaya Mountain Trail (or anywhere else) before dawn to watch the sunrise from the top?

When?

I am kind of tempted to do it on a weekday, but I may end up doing it alone. Unless a few people are interested, we could do it, let's say, this Saturday? The sun rises at about 5h45 these days.

==Swimming?==
Anyone want to go swimming with me (Ed)? There's a pool about 2 miles away that's open till 8:30, was thinking of walking down after class.

Count me in for the drowning. When? - Nini

I'd like to join -Yangjing

==Ten Thousand Waves==

They say it's a "must-do" while here. Just put your name down here if interested. (Cristina M.)

How does Thursday after lectures sound? (JP)? 
//Cristina M: Thursday after lectures is perfect! Though they have this on Friday: https://www.facebook.com/event.php?eid=151999048206158. Thanks [[JP]]!
Given the talks on Thursday, Friday (if there is time) may be better. Do we need to make a reservation (they recommend so on several places on their website) EH.

I'd be happy for Friday night. There are some fairly large private tubs available. We should look into that. (JP)

==Museum Trip Friday June 24th==
It's $8 for admission to the Georgia O'Keefe Museum. I want to go after lecture next week; sounds like a cool exhibit about the relationship between photography and contemporary art. Let's meet outside the student center at 4:30pm. The museum is open until 7pm. We can potentially grab dinner and drinks downtown afterwards.
I'll drive down in my car from St. Johns; I've got space for 4 more.

==After summerschool ==
I (Evelien van der Hurk) have got a couple of days after the summer school, and am (kind of) planning to drive around to Mesa Verde, Monument Valley, and if there is time: sky highway/Silverton. Is supposed to be pretty amazing. I will arrange to be 'back' on wednesday 6 july at 14:00h at Albuquerque airport, or before that - leaving at least 4 days for traveling, when leaving on Saturday. So, if anyone is interested to join me to drive around (I will need to rent a car), let me know (ehurk at rsm dot nl). Some links to pictures are below.

==Frisbee==
Ok, look. I (Ed) like frisbee. By virtue of being into science, you people must at some level also like frisbee. So, let's play frisbee. There are lots of ways to do this:
1) Throwing
2) Throwing with our arms tucked in like T-Rex's
3) Imbibing beverages and throwing
4) Spinning the disc on our fingers (ooo fancy) and then throwing it
5) Playing cower (ask me for details)

Who has a disc? - Ed

I would be up for throwing, and also for a game of Ultimate. Thursday evening (the 16th) is free on our schedule. We can buy a disc. -Miles

I've got a disc. Just let me know whenever you want it. -AA

I am soo in. Cristina M.

I want to play cower! With beverages! -Kam

==A Nice Dinner Out==

The St. John's cafeteria is great, but Santa Fe is also the home of many unique, world-class restaurants. I would like to go out for a nice dinner some night and would love company.

==Present your own research==

there are many others with very inspiring and ready to present research findings, so the idea would be to have a small session next '''Tuesday''' after lectures: let's say 4.30 - 6.00 (or longer, depending on how many of us want to / are ready to present) ...let's say 15 min each (so cut it down to the essentials! ...max 10 slides, if any!) and leave some room for discussion... so if you're ready and want some constructive feedback, just put here the title of your potential presentation, and we'll see if we get a critical mass that's interested:

- Aaron: Characterization of microbial promoter architectures for rational reengineering

- Cristina: "Marriage squeeze modeling" .

- Ed: "Shmoozing between enzyme kinetics and classical mechanics"

- Shweta: Role of bio-geochemical cycles in economic activities - Current inventory for US economy.

- Victor: current ideas in interdisciplinary education, as informed by case studies & interdisciplinarity philosophy

- Alexis: stuff related to maximum entropy, e.g., inductive reasoning, impossibility of scientific controversy, etc.

- ...

Week after (last week):

==Yo La Tengo in Santa Fe, 17 June==

For anyone interested, they're playing in town.

I might be interested in attending if others are going - Josh 

Anna, Eugenia, and I just got tickets. http://www.thirstyearfestival.com/concerts.html#yo We have 1 more seat left in the car. -Lydia

==Taos Earthships, Rio Grande Gorge, High Country==
Taos is a small town about 60 miles North of Santa Fe. It's known for the Taos Indian Pueblo, an artist colony, skiing, and the Taos Earthships. Depending on who's interested, we could stop by some wineries on the way up/down. The drive up alone is worth it.

When is this happening? -N

Some people are going on to Los Alamos from the Bandelier/Valles Caldera trip this Saturday. - Nini

==NRAO Very Large Array==

National Radio Astronomy Observatory - Very Large Array

Its a bit of a hike... about a 3 hour drive... but should be totally worth it. Perhaps we could do this and los alamos together on the same day. -Raghav

Heres the description from the website(http://www.vla.nrao.edu/)-

The Very Large Array, one of the world's premier astronomical radio observatories, consists of 27 radio antennas in a Y-shaped configuration on the Plains of San Agustin fifty miles west of Socorro, New Mexico. Each antenna is 25 meters (82 feet) in diameter. The data from the antennas is combined electronically to give the resolution of an antenna 36km (22 miles) across, with the sensitivity of a dish 130 meters (422 feet) in diameter.

I'd love to go and would be willing to rent a car and drive. Unfortunately Los Alamos is in a different direction (NW) than VLA by quite a lot. I suggest looking above for other trips in planning for Los Alamos.

I think this trip depends on when we go (when is Taos Earthships trip?) and whatever else people have planned for. Note that this trip is 3 hours and there's very little else besides VLA in that neighborhood of NM - this trip would be optimal if we can hook on this visit to any other attractions nearby (or in Albuquerque). Any suggestions? - Nini

If you do go to the VLA, I'd recommend combining it with a visit to Kelly Mine, an old ghost town near Magdalena which is pretty neat to poke around. There is also a great microbrewery in Socorro (called Socorro Springs). Also, the town of Magdalena is in the process of trying to make itself a mini-artists' haven, so it could be fun to poke around the galleries there. Any more questions about the region and I'll see what I can do; my mom is from Socorro, and I can ask her for further suggestions. -Nora

Mind signing up to indicate interest? 
1. Nini - Can rent a car 
2. Chris G - Have a car, but all depends on when we go... 
3. Cali - I would go, looks cool (can rent a car, don't have one) 
4. Raghav - Definitely wanna go... Can rent a car 

==Backpacking in the Pecos Wilderness==
I've been planning a full-weekend backpacking trip with a local friend of mine. We'd probably camp Friday night at the trailhead (or his parents cabin) to get an early start, set up camp, then do a lighter hike to summit Las Truchas, the second highest peak in NM. We'd return on Sunday. At a minimum, you'd need a backpack and sleeping bag. We might be able to rustle up other gear. Cars shouldn't be an issue.

Interest: 
1. Chris G. 
2. Kameron - I'm in! 
3. Fran (also have tent and stove if needed) 

==Stargazing==

I'd like to spend an evening star-gazing - maybe try to get far enough out of town to avoid major light pollution. The next new moon is July 1st, so we might look to do it towards the end of the program. - Miles

I'd be interested, might be able to get a telescope, and know a few locations. (JP) 
Cristina M.: Count me in and keep me informed. Great idea, Miles! 

Shweta S : I am also interested, but I have an early morning flight on 2nd July . So, I have to be at Peterson circle by 4 Am for the Pick up shuttle to airport. If possible, I am certainly in for Star Gazing, haven't done it for years. 

I am also very interested... but may fly out on the 1st in the evening... Could we perhaps do this on a weeknight? -Raghav

count on me if it is before July 2... -----Yangjing

==Early morning hiking==

Would anybody would be interested in hiking the Atalaya Mountain Trail (or anywhere else) before dawn to watch the sunrise from the top?

When?

I am kind of tempted to do it on a weekday, but I may end up doing it alone. Unless a few people are interested, we could do it, let's say, this Saturday? The sun rises at about 5h45 these days.

==Swimming?==
Anyone want to go swimming with me (Ed)? There's a pool about 2 miles away that's open till 8:30, was thinking of walking down after class.

Count me in for the drowning. When? - Nini

I'd like to join -Yangjing

==Ten Thousand Waves==

They say it's a "must-do" while here. Just put your name down here if interested. (Cristina M.)

How does Thursday after lectures sound? (JP)? 
//Cristina M: Thursday after lectures is perfect! Though they have this on Friday: https://www.facebook.com/event.php?eid=151999048206158. Thanks [[JP]]!
Given the talks on Thursday, Friday (if there is time) may be better. Do we need to make a reservation (they recommend so on several places on their website) EH.

I'd be happy for Friday night. There are some fairly large private tubs available. We should look into that. (JP)

It's $8 for admission to the Georgia O'Keefe Museum. I want to go after lecture next week; sounds like a cool exhibit about the relationship between photography and contemporary art. Let's meet outside the student center at 4:30pm. The museum is open until 7pm. We can potentially grab dinner and drinks downtown afterwards.
I'll drive down in my car from St. Johns; I've got space for 4 more.

==After summerschool ==
I (Evelien van der Hurk) have got a couple of days after the summer school, and am (kind of) planning to drive around to Mesa Verde, Monument Valley, and if there is time: sky highway/Silverton. Is supposed to be pretty amazing. I will arrange to be 'back' on wednesday 6 july at 14:00h at Albuquerque airport, or before that - leaving at least 4 days for traveling, when leaving on Saturday. So, if anyone is interested to join me to drive around (I will need to rent a car), let me know (ehurk at rsm dot nl). Some links to pictures are below.

==Frisbee==
Ok, look. I (Ed) like frisbee. By virtue of being into science, you people must at some level also like frisbee. So, let's play frisbee. There are lots of ways to do this:
1) Throwing
2) Throwing with our arms tucked in like T-Rex's
3) Imbibing beverages and throwing
4) Spinning the disc on our fingers (ooo fancy) and then throwing it
5) Playing cower (ask me for details)

Who has a disc? - Ed

I would be up for throwing, and also for a game of Ultimate. Thursday evening (the 16th) is free on our schedule. We can buy a disc. -Miles

I've got a disc. Just let me know whenever you want it. -AA

I am soo in. Cristina M.

I want to play cower! With beverages! -Kam

==A Nice Dinner Out==

The St. John's cafeteria is great, but Santa Fe is also the home of many unique, world-class restaurants. I would like to go out for a nice dinner some night and would love company. Any of the places below are kind of pricey and will require reservations, so please post preferences for date and location and I'll pull something together. Here are a few to get you started, with reviews and menus. - Cali (weakly prefers La Plazuela or Martín)

Complex Systems Summer School 2011-Challenge Questions

2011-06-15T11:50:58Z

Mdtownes: /* Complexity */

{{Complex Systems Summer School 2011}}

'''2011 Complex Systems Summer School Challenge Questions:'''

==Nonlinear Dynamics and Modeling==

Given that the brain is a deterministic physical system, is there such a thing as free will?

==Networks==

This challenge is to design a network to be robust against the failure of its nodes. You get 1000 nodes and 2000 edges, which you can join together into a network in any fashion you like. You can think of it as a communication network, for instance. The nodes in the largest component of the network can all communicate with one another, while the rest of the network is cut off. Once you have designed your network, a quarter of the nodes fail at random and are removed from the network. The challenge is to design your network so that, on average, as many nodes as possible still remain in the largest component of the network. You don't know in advance which quarter of the nodes will fail, so you need a design that works well in general. If you can find a good solution to this problem, here are two further variations you could think about:

1. Instead of randomly removing a quarter of the nodes, suppose the quarter with the highest degrees are removed. Now how should you design your network?

2. Now suppose, with equal probability, EITHER a quarter of the nodes fail at random OR the highest-degree quarter fail. Can you design a network that is resilient to both, without knowing in advance which will happen?

==Computation==

In the 19th century, we thought of everything as a steam engine. In the late 20th century, we thought of everything as a computer, and around the turn of the century, as an ecology or an economy. How do each of these metaphors help us understand the world around us, including natural, social, and artificial systems? What aspects of these systems do each of these analogies help make clearer, and which aspects do they obscure?

==Robustness==

Write a script/screen play for an episode of Star Trek (TNG or the original series) in which robustness is the central issue. The episode should be no more than ten minutes long and you should be prepared to perform it on the final day of the CSSS. We leave it up to you to decide whether there will be multiple team entries or just one whole CSSS team entry!

==Evolution==

1.) Has Biological Evolution come to an end?

2.) Is belief an emergent property?

3.) Will advanced computers use H. Sapiens as batteries?

==Complexity==

Short-term survival and an exuberant plunge into building our future are generating a new kind of unintended consequence—hidden fragility. This is a direct effect of the sophistication and structural complexity of the socio-technical systems humans create. It is inevitable. And so the challenge is, How much can we understand and predict about these systems and about the social dynamics that lead to their construction?

I am quite interested in this question, and would be willing to join/lead a group directed towards it's answer. I would start by questioning the premise: I think the fragility of socio-technical systems is not a strictly new phenomenon, but perhaps more evident in recent decades. - Miles

==Emergence==

What are the emergent phenomena associated with democratic rule? Answer by contrasting reference to the results of the 2000 and 2008 U.S. Presidential elections. Support your hypothesis with either contrasting mathematical models, or analysis of relevant data.

==Frisbee==
Ok, look. I (Ed) like frisbee. By virtue of being into science, you people must at some level also like frisbee. So, let's play frisbee. There are lots of ways to do this:
1) Throwing
2) Throwing with our arms tucked in like T-Rex's
3) Imbibing beverages and throwing
4) Spinning the disc on our fingers (ooo fancy) and then throwing it
5) Playing cower (ask me for details)

Who has a disc? - Ed

I would be up for throwing, and also for a game of Ultimate. Thursday evening (the 16th) is free on our schedule. We can buy a disc. -Miles

==Other Options==

==Bandelier Field Trip==
[[JP]] would like to set up a trip to [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bandelier_National_Monument Bandelier National Monument] on Sat. June 18. We might string a visit to the [http://www.vallescaldera.gov/ Valles Caldera] and [http://www.lanl.gov/museum/ Bradbury Science Museum/Los Alamos] in as well.

From Stefani: I know the head archaeologist at Bandelier. I'll see if I can get him or his assistant to give us a brief talk.

Bandelier Trip Sign Up.

==Soccer, Monday 13 June at 7 PM?==
(I saw this from Victor on the CSSS FB wall)

"Who's down for soccer this Monday evening, at 7?
Rsvp w/a comment
If you have a ball, bring it--and let us know in your rsvp
I think it makes sense if those of us who want to play meet up at the drop-off circle and then walk down to the athletic field cheers V"

==Yo La Tengo in Santa Fe, 17 June==

For anyone interested, they're playing in town.

==Taos Earthships, Rio Grande Gorge, High Country==
Taos is a small town about 60 miles North of Santa Fe. It's known for the Taos Indian Pueblo, an artist colony, skiing, and the Taos Earthships. Depending on who's interested, we could stop by some wineries on the way up/down. The drive up alone is worth it.

Please add your car and seats if you have one

From Democratic Consensus to Cannibalistic Hordes: The Principles of Collective Animal Behavior[http://santafe.edu/gevent/detail/public/408/] 
Presented by Iain Couzin (Assistant Professor, Ecology and Evolutionary Biology, Princeton University) 

Anyone interested? - Nini

Yep, we have a shuttle already scheduled and seats reserved. No need to worry about transportation. -JP

==Los Alamos==

Los Alamos National Labs

From website: "Los Alamos National Laboratory is a premier national security research institution, delivering scientific and engineering solutions for the nation's most crucial and complex problems. Our primary responsibility is ensuring the safety, security, and reliability of the nation's nuclear deterrent. The Los Alamos of today emphasizes worker safety, effective operational safeguards & security, and environmental stewardship, while outstanding science remains the foundation of the Laboratory. In addition to supporting the Lab's core national security mission, our work advances bioscience, chemistry, computer science, earth and environmental sciences, materials science, and physics disciplines."

Check it out at lanl.gov

I'd like to go, and I can rent a car if there's an interested group. -Clio

I'd like to go too! -Raghav

count me in! -ryan j

==NRAO Very Large Array==

National Radio Astronomy Observatory - Very Large Array

Its a bit of a hike... about a 3 hour drive... but should be totally worth it. Perhaps we could do this and los alamos together on the same day. -Raghav

Heres the description from the website(http://www.vla.nrao.edu/)-

The Very Large Array, one of the world's premier astronomical radio observatories, consists of 27 radio antennas in a Y-shaped configuration on the Plains of San Agustin fifty miles west of Socorro, New Mexico. Each antenna is 25 meters (82 feet) in diameter. The data from the antennas is combined electronically to give the resolution of an antenna 36km (22 miles) across, with the sensitivity of a dish 130 meters (422 feet) in diameter.

I'd love to go and would be willing to rent a car and drive. Unfortunately Los Alamos is in a different direction (NW) than VLA by quite a lot. I suggest looking above for other trips in planning for Los Alamos.

Mind signing up to indicate interest? 
1. Nini - Can rent a car 
2. Chris G - Have a car, but all depends on when we go...

==Backpacking in the Pecos Wilderness==
I've been planning a full-weekend backpacking trip with a local friend of mine. We'd probably camp Friday night at the trailhead (or his parents cabin) to get an early start, set up camp, then do a lighter hike to summit Las Truchas, the second highest peak in NM. We'd return on Sunday. At a minimum, you'd need a backpack and sleeping bag. We might be able to rustle up other gear. Cars shouldn't be an issue.

Interest: 
1. Chris G. 
2. Kameron (interested) 
3. 

==Stargazing==

I'd like to spend an evening star-gazing - maybe try to get far enough out of town to avoid major light pollution. The next new moon is July 1st, so we might look to do it towards the end of the program. - Miles

I'd be interested, might be able to get a telescope, and know a few locations. (JP)

==Swimming?==
Anyone want to go swimming with me (Ed)? There's a pool about 2 miles away that's open till 8:30, was thinking of walking down after class.

Count me in for the drowning. When? - Nini

==Ten Thousand Waves==

They say it's a "must-do" while here. Just put your name down here if interested. (Cristina M.)

How does Thursday after lectures sound? (JP)?

==After summerschool ==
I (Evelien van der Hurk) have got a couple of days after the summer school, and am (kind of) planning to drive around to Mesa Verde, Monument Valley, and if there is time: sky highway/Silverton. Is supposed to be pretty amazing. I will arrange to be 'back' on wednesday 6 july at 14:00h at Albuquerque airport, or before that - leaving at least 4 days for traveling, when leaving on Saturday. So, if anyone is interested to join me to drive around (I will need to rent a car), let me know (ehurk at rsm dot nl). Some links to pictures are below.

''What are your main interests?'': I study political science, specifically international relations, more specifically conflict and war.

''What sort of expertise can you bring to the group?'': Political and social science expertise, for whatever that is worth. I am reasonably competent with statistical methods, but have minimal training in higher math or computer programming. I am a superstar at Powerpoint and similar presentation software.

''What do you hope to get out of the CSSS?'': I have taken some basic courses in complexity and computational social science, focused on political science. I want a more intensive and interdisciplinary understanding of the field, especially the mathematical foundations.

''Do you have any possible projects in mind for the CSSS?'': I am working on power-law analysis of conflict data, which I plan to extend with network analysis techniques. I don't know that I'll work on this project during the CSSS, but it is background for my interests and intent.

I'm a doctoral student (soon: candidate) in Political Science, majoring in international relations (IR). My main interests are international security and conflict; I went back to school specifically because I read a couple papers from SFI-affiliated scholars, and thought, 'Could be interesting to apply to this to IR." Lately I've been looking at power-law results in measurement of war magnitude and frequency, and would like to extend this work to network analysis of conflict and alliance systems. Alas, complexity has not made the inroads in Political Science that is has in other disciplines, so this ends up being a side project from my actual dissertation research; that research looks at the domestic constraints on states' capacity for violence.
