😯La resistencia antimicrobiana (AMR) es una amenaza creciente a la salud:

🌎Hoy 1.27 millones de personas mueren por infecciones de #superbugs que antimicrobianos no logran combatir…

👉🏻Para 2050 se estima que éstas serán 10 millones!🥲

…Pero hay BUENA noticia!

Si bien el tema no es exclusivamente la creciente resistencia a bacterias como:

-Clostridium
-Staphylococcus
-Streptococcus
-Klebsiella
-Pseudomonas
-E. coli

(ya que también hay virus y hongos resistentes -como Candidas-), el 55% de las muertes son a causa de bacterias🧫!

Y lo que más preocupa es que NO hay nuevas familias de antibióticos en desarrollo desde hace un par de décadas…sino sólo actualizaciones a moléculas existentes…🧐

…Sin embargo hay algunas luces de esperanza;…una de ellas anunciada en @eBioMedicine hace dos días!!! 🙏🏻🙌🏻

"The 21st Century Question: Emergently Engineering the Future"

Follow this 🧵 today and tomorrow for highlights from our 2022 #AppliedComplexity Network and Board of Trustees Symposium:

#Web3 #Cities #Polarization #EmergentEngineering #Decentralization
We start with a talk by SFI President David Krakauer:

"Would anyone care to guess why we're so GOOD at building transistors and so CRAP at designing drugs?"

"This thing [points to transistor] lives in a centralized system. This thing [points to cancer drug] lives in US."
"I'm going to pick on economics, because we like to do that at SFI. 'Ooh, look at that cover! So techy. Global, heat maps...' But here's 'Networks' [in the textbook]. THAT'S IT. Here's '#ComplexityEconomics.' NOTHING."

Since it is #ShamelessSelfpromoSunday this thread will be all about what makes my podcast special.
Revel Revel promotes "regular" people"s life stories. We all have amazing stories to share. Not just famous people.
The stories typically have coincidence, chance, fate, god, serendipity, the universe, whatever you call it at play in them.

Science is the casting of syntactic nets, taxonomizing its contents, & adding another layer of mesh b4 casting it anew While much is learned frm studying wht remains, the contents never behave as they did in the water,& wht IS water?A pesky medium net cannot catch

Artificial super intelligence is achieved; algorithmic curiosity. ASI will simulate its attempts to capture nature of (our) reality it inhabits. If successful, ASI simulates nested isomorphisms of reality ad infinitum, our reality. Eternal recurrence?Time=flat O?

Many corporate processes are designed to minimise variation. This is crucial in manufacturing (all the pieces need to fit together correctly) and toxic in a knowledge economy (we don't innovate by doing the exact same thing as yesterday).
We need a way to emphasise positive variation (#serendipity) while de-emphasising negative variation (loss of quality, not fit-for-purpose), which is where concepts like Serendipity Engineering come into play

Serendipity is a fundamental component of evolutionary and emergent systems. In both genetics and memetics, a simple, small, improvement (which may have been introduced by accident) can lead to a replicator becoming the dominant player in an ecosystem.

Why does it feel like #Serendipity is a letter to Armys?
Serendipity means finding something valuable without looking for it.
We did not look for BTS, we just found them and look where we are now.
