When I did my doctoral studies I studied a number of growth disciplines in areas like: complexity science, social network science (relationship and collaboration science), system thinking science, information science, and cognitive science. As a result of this knowledge, I learned how to connect business strategy goals using diverse growth strategies and analyze underlying operating systems that were either enabling relationship strength and growth outcomes or creating negative systemic feedback loops that prevented revenue acceleration.

There is a word in the English language seldom used called quaquaversal which means looking in all directions all at once which represents the field of complexity science and is the reality of the executive mindset that needs to operate in the board room and in today’s fast paced world — *what one sees as relevant today may well be obsolete tomorrow.*

This blog series will explore each of these discipline areas and connect real life examples of AI approaches that are enabling growth acceleration techniques using these science and social science techniques. This is the first blog in this five part blog series and will focus on complexity science.

After analyzing the data, the researchers found that 1.27 million deaths across the globe could be attributed to antimicrobial resistance, whereas 4.95 million deaths were associated with antimicrobial resistance.

Western sub-Saharan Africa had the highest rate of deaths attributable to and associated with antimicrobial resistance.

The study authors also found that the entire region of sub-Saharan Africa and South Asia had the highest rate of both types of deaths.

Widespread accessibility for the metaverse and the technologies that develop it is vital for the metaverse to reach its full potential. Will the metaverse follow a similar path of innovation and regulation as the internet did?

Researchers from the Okinawa Institute of Science and Technology Graduate University (OIST) have used microscopic strands of DNA to guide the assembly of gel blocks that are visible to the naked eye.

The hydrogel blocks, which measure up to 2mm in length and contain DNA on their surface, self-assembled in around 10–15 minutes when mixed in a solution, the scientists reported today in the Journal of the American Chemical Society.

“These hydrogel blocks are, we believe, the largest objects so far that have been programmed by DNA to form organized structures,” said Dr. Vyankat Sontakke, first author of the study and a postdoctoral researcher in the OIST Nucleic Acid Chemistry and Engineering Unit.

Ford Motor Co. is working with Israeli startup Electreon to construct a mile-long road near Detroit’s Michigan Central Terminal that will charge electric vehicles as they travel on it. The pilot program will deploy an inductive in-road charging system in partnership with the Michigan Department of Transportation, the Michigan Office of Future Mobility and Electrification and the Michigan Economic Development Corp. “As we aim to lead the future of mobility and electrification by boosting electric vehicle production and lowering consumer costs, a wireless in-road charging system is the next piece to the puzzle for sustainability,” Michigan Governor Gretchen Whitmer said in a statement. Also supporting the project, which is expected to be operational in 2023, are Next Energy and the Jacobs Engineering Group. Ford purchased the long-abandoned train station and is converting it to be the hub of what it calls its “mobility innovation district,” where software developers and others will focus on making electrified and autonomous transportation more practical.

Alphabet’s AI lab DeepMind says it’s created an AI coding engine that is as good as the average human programmer. However, the system was only tested on specific coding challenges that do not reflect real-world tasks.
