A great listen. So much knowledge of so many fields, and inspiring career advice too. Thanks Simon.
I really enjoyed this interview of Simon Levin by Sally Otto and @jpodwyer.bsky.social, hosted on the @smtpb.bsky.social Youtube channel.
I particularly enjoyed Simon's discussion of how to integrate math, biology, and economics to study complex adaptive systems.
