Today we have some cool news from MIT where they figured out how to watch immune cells communicate. Also from MIT, researchers used evolutionary algorithms to determine how to plan a wind farm with 1000 turbines, a highly complex problem with a cool solution. And finally, Flowing Data shows another fine example of people abusing charts and statistics, a fascinating read as usual.
As always, enjoy today’s items, and please participate in the discussions on these sites.
