DESCRIPTION:Self-organization and robustness in biological systems\n\nCorin
 a Tarnita\, Princeton University\n	Tuesday January 26\, 12-1pm\n	Zoom Link: 
 https:/mcgill.zoom.us/j/91589192037\n\nAbstract: Understanding and managin
 g complex systems — characterized by emergent\, self-organized patterns at
  scales larger than those of the interacting parts — has crystallized as o
 ne of the most pressing problems of our time\, affecting studies in fields
  from biology to sociology to medicine and financial markets. Because biol
 ogical systems have faced a range of challenges throughout evolutionary hi
 story that has led to a diversity of robust solutions\, they are ideal for
  the study of complex systems\, and solutions inferred from biology have s
 uccessfully been applied to system design and management in other fields. 
 It is therefore imperative not only to study individual biological systems
 \, but also to compare broadly their organizing principles and emergent pr
 operties. My lab uses theoretical and empirical approaches to study the or
 ganization and emergent properties and behaviors of biological systems acr
 oss spatiotemporal scales\, from single cells to entire ecosystems. In thi
 s talk\, I will attempt to give an overview of the questions we are asking
 \, the approaches we are taking towards answering them\, and the most rece
 nt insights.\n
