Mathematicians Predict the Future With Data From the Past | WIRED
In Isaac Asimov’s classic science fiction saga Foundation, mathematics professor Hari Seldon predicts the future using what he calls psychohistory. Drawing on mathematical models that describe what happened in the past, he anticipates what will happen next, including the fall of the Galactic Empire. That may seem like fanciful stuff. But Peter Turchin is turning himself into a real-life Hari Seldon — and he’s not alone.

New Paper in “Angewandte Chemie”
New paper! We’ll be published in “Angewandte Chemie/Int. Ed” as “very important paper”. This will be my 4th paper within two years and the 3rd published in Angewandte Chemie, two of which are “VIPs”.
Even though I’m excited about that, the stress I’m currently facing because of the upcoming deadline for my Master’s Thesis kind of keeps my joy about this at a medium level.
