It's going to be a great, big, Giving Blueday... ...as we celebrate the establishment of the Rick Riolo Memorial Fund on November 27 with a special lecture by Scott Page. Rick was a beloved scholar, friend, mentor, and colleague to those of us in the Complex Systems community here at Michigan and beyond. But chiefly he was a mentor to students so in order to honor Rick's dedication to students, the fund has been created specifically to support student research.

Read the Fall 2018 LSA magazine story "Digital Dollars" by Elizabeth Wason - feat. Lynette Shaw. The author tapped in to the knowledge of Complex Systems' resident cryptocurrency expert - Dr. Lynette Shaw - to write on the status of bitcoin, blockchain and other cryptocurrency.

Scott E. Page's most recent book will be available this November The Model Thinker provides a toolkit for business people, students, scientists, pollsters, and bloggers to make them better, clearer thinkers, able to leverage data and information to their advantage.

Guess the Weight of the Cow Dr. Scott E Page, Leonid Hurwicz Collegiate Professor of Complex Systems, Political Science, and Economics illustrates that it is mathematically true that "diversity creates better outcomes for everybody" as outlined in the Fall LSA magazine article entitled "The Case for Diversity".
