Physical Review E commissioned perspective articles on the future of SPLASHY (soft, polymeric, living, active, statistical, heterogeneous, yielding) physics. I wrote one about tunable matter, I think an exciting future direction for our field. Feedback welcome! journals.aps.org/pre/abstract...

In this SFI Seminar, Keith Hengen (WashU) explores the criticality hypothesis, proposing that healthy brains operate near a tipping point that maximizes computational capacity. Using experimental evidence, he examines how criticality shapes learning, development, sleep, and neurological disorders.

🧪Thanks to my @ucsdphysci.bsky.social colleague Brian Keating, who hosted me on a podcast. We discussed phase transitions, renormalization group, what is usually missed by philosophers in talking about emergence, why AI shouldn't work, evolution & the purpose of life. Not the meaning of life 😀.
