Coinciding with the Conference on Complex Systems, we organised a one-day warm-up for PhD students and early-stage researchers (all info at https://yrcss.cssociety.org/warm-up/2.... The warm-up is an informal one-day event that offers early-stage scientists the opportunity to learn about the scientific and life experience of young and senior researchers, try their skills in a data visualisation and have fun playing the specifically tailored online trivia.

Steven H. Strogatz is the Jacob Gould Schurman Professor of Applied Mathematics at Cornell University. He works in the areas of nonlinear dynamics and complex systems, often on topics inspired by the curiosities of everyday life. He loves finding math in places where you’d least expect it—and then using it to illuminate life’s mysteries, big and small. He has received numerous awards, among the latest are the Stephen H. Weiss Presidential Fellowship — Cornell’s highest teaching prize — and the George Pólya Prize for Mathematical Exposition. Besides research, his popular science articles have appeared in the New York Times, Wired, Quanta and in many other magazines, and his recent book, Infinite Powers, became a New York Times bestseller.
