Research from @PrincetonEnviro and @SCUT1918 shows that climate change and urbanization both play a role in storm-driven rain with the potential to lead to flooding and landslides. But the importance of each depends on how close rain is to the city center.

Naomi Leonard theorizes that complex collective behaviors like schooling fish emerge from relatively simple choices individual animals make in response to their neighbors and environment. Watch on Zoom as she gives a #GalileoNight lecture in Rome 4/14. ⬇️

Flocking birds, schooling fish, swarming bees, and other animal groups that lack centralized control can nonetheless meet real-world uncertainties with collective decision-making that is fast,...
