Four Cornell professors elected to national academy. Twelve new Klarman Fellows to pursue innovative, timely research in A&S. For the joy of x, y, and z. Mathematician Steven Strogatz receives national award for science communication.
How can all eight billion of us be just six handshakes apart? “Small-world networks,” introduced by Strogatz and his former graduate student Duncan Watts, give one possible explanation. The same math also gives insight into how epidemics spread, how brains are wired, and how blackouts propagate through the power grid.
At the beginning of my career I was fascinated by mathematical biology and worked on a variety of problems, including the geometry of supercoiled DNA, the dynamics of the human sleep-wake cycle, the topology of three-dimensional chemical waves, and the collective behavior of biological oscillators, such as swarms of synchronously flashing firefl...
