KCRW Midweek Reset: Creativity has no age This week, Professor of Network Science at Northeastern University and author of “The Formula: The Universal Laws of Success,”Albert-László Barabási debunks the myth that youth echoes creativity and says creativity knows no age limit. The Epoch Times The Controversy of Research Censorship and Preprints Albert-László Barabási, a computational scientist at Northeastern University in Boston, Massachusetts, had another observation when his paper was rejected by the preprint site bioRxiv because the site was no longer accepting manuscripts forecasting COVID-19 predictions about treatments on the basis of computational work. What your age really says about your chance of success at work Albert-László Barabási is a physicist and a network scientist, focusing on a variety of natural, technological and social networks. He is the Robert Gray Dodge Professor of Network Science at Northeastern University. He is also a lecturer at Harvard Medical School. What are ultra-processed foods? What should I eat instead? The site was created by Giulia Menichetti and Albert-László Barabási, two scientists at Northeastern University who study ultra-processed foods and developed a database of over 50,000 foods sold in grocery stores. Navigating the grocery aisles with AI Albert-László Barabási, Giulia Menichetti and Babak Ravandi, data scientists at Northeastern University, and Dariush Mozaffarian of the Dorothy R. Friedman School of Nutrition Science and Policy at Tufts University decided to rely on artificial intelligence. The Art Market Often Works in Secret. Here’s a Look Inside. Dr. Barabasi is a professor of network science at Northeastern University and at Central European University. He leads the BarabasiLab, a collective of scientists and artists. Coronavirus: AI steps up in battle against Covid-19 In the US, a partnership between Northeastern University’s Barabasi Labs, Harvard Medical School, the Network Science Institute and biotech start-up Scipher Medicine is also on the search for drugs that can quickly be repurposed as Covid-19 treatments. Nature News Imagine a world without hunger, then make it happen with systems thinking But using machine learning and artificial intelligence, network scientist Albert László Barabási at Northeastern University in Boston, Massachusetts, and his colleagues propose that human diets consist of at least 26,000 biochemicals — and that the vast majority are not known (Nature Food 1, 33–37; 2020). Inside Science Studying Food’s ‘Dark Matter’ Could Help Illuminate Diet’s Ties to Health “We set out to say, how can we combine info about food and disease causation,” said Albert-László Barabási, a network scientist at Northeastern University in Boston. Albert-László Barabási for Northeastern Global News The interaction between humans and artificial intelligence demands a new field of study, Northeastern researchers say The interaction between humans and artificial intelligence demands a new field of study, Northeastern researchers say “Human AI Coevolution” investigates how humans and AI algorithms continuously influence each other,” Alessandro Vespignani says. Does traditional Chinese medicine work? Network science can help evaluate effectiveness, Northeastern researchers say Does traditional Chinese medicine work? Network science can help evaluate effectiveness, Northeastern researchers say Researchers say network science promises to be a powerful tool to evaluate the effectiveness of traditional Chinese medicine herbal remedies. Art philanthropy in the US is localized and depends on prestige of the art organization, Northeastern study finds Art philanthropy in the US is localized and depends on prestige of the art organization, Northeastern study finds A revealing study on art philanthropy in the U.S. sheds light on funding patterns and inequalities within the art world. Groundbreaking blood test for rheumatoid arthritis treatment is ‘first step towards a better future’ for patients Groundbreaking blood test for rheumatoid arthritis treatment is ‘first step towards a better future’ for patients The test was developed by Scipher Medicine Corp., a precision medicine company co-founded by Northeastern professor Albert-Laszlo Barabasi. New network science center aims to revolutionize large-scale manufacturing with discovery of new solid materials New network science center aims to revolutionize large-scale manufacturing with discovery of new solid materials A team of NU researchers will be part of an effort to establish a center to study new ways of harnessing the power of network science. Network Science Institute expansion to London creates new European hub for trailblazing academic field Network Science Institute expansion to London creates new European hub for trailblazing academic field Northeastern brings its hallmark network science program to its UK campus to amplify its global approach to complex contemporary challenges. Northeastern professor wins prestigious award for her work on the ethics of artificial intelligence Northeastern professor wins prestigious award for her work on the ethics of artificial intelligence Professor Tina Eliassi-Rad wins prestigious Lagrange Prize in Turin for her work on the ethical concerns of AI. Is your food ultra-processed? This algorithm will tell you. Is your food ultra-processed? This algorithm will tell you. Researchers have developed a machine learning algorithm they say accurately predicts the degree of processing in food products. Network scientists identify 40 new drugs to test against COVID-19 Network scientists identify 40 new drugs to test against COVID-19 Researchers mapped the way proteins behave after a cell is hijacked by the virus to find drugs that might be able to fight COVID. It’s not just your genes that are killing you. Everything else is, too. It’s not just your genes that are killing you. Everything else is, too. Environmental factors drive most of our risk for non-communicable diseases, says Albert-László Barbási, Robert Gray Dodge Professor.
