Network Systems: Connecting the Dots, with Dani Bassett
How cool to think of curiosity as connecting the dots!
Danielle Bassett is a professor at the University of Pennsylvania, where they study biological, physical, and social systems by using and developing tools from network science and complex systems theory. They work at the intersection of basic science, engineering, and clinical medicine — and now they are taking on curiosity itself.
How do we connect our curiosity dots?
Network theory will out!
“I think one exciting solution is to re-conceptualize curiosity as the seeking of information links — not just the information, but the links between that information.” ~ Danielle Bassett
