Lots of ways to help @alifeofficial provide more resources for the field! #alife2018

Next up, @amlalejini discusses the power of the event-driven programming paradigm for Artificial Life systems using his SignalGP system http://bit.ly/signalgp-alife2018 #Alife2018
Penny Faulkner Rainford's work on combining artificial chemistries makes an excellent case for the power of general frameworks for describing the relationships between different systems #Alife2018
Explanation of soundscape ecological by @alicealicealice at #alife2018. Niche theory applies to sounds just like resources. Fascinating talk.
Seems like the problem of associating clusters in the patent record over time currently being discussed by Norman Packard has some interesting parallels to @livcomp's problem of associating mobs with each other from time point to time point #alife2018
Gorgeous visualization of clusters in the patent record presented by Norman Packard #alife2018
Tired of re-writing software tools that have already been written others? Wish you could use other people's software more easily? That more people would use your software? Come to @amlalejini, @cliffbohm, @CharlesOfria and my workshop on software standards for ALife! #alife2018
Thanks to everyone who came out to the @ISALstudents social event! It was great hanging out with everyone and wonderful to see our community growing! #alife2018
Presenting my poster on bringing together research on diversity done in ecology, evolutionary biology, and evolutionary computation. Come talk to me if you are interested in contributing! #alife2018
Campos: although distributed solution to target-finding task was not specifically selected for, it evolved and appeared to be most stable #alife2018
Jorge Campos opening the @ISALstudents student award talk with a discussion of bee communication #alife2018
Student award talk starting now! Come see it! #alife2018
100% agree with @kenneth0stanley's point about not getting bogged down in definitions of open-ended evolution! That's exactly why we tried to frame our metrics as diagnostic rather than as definitions. #alife2018
I like @kenneth0stanley's framing of algorithms like novelty search as "stepping stone collectors." #alife2018
Lastly, @LuisZaman explored open-ended evolution in a host-parasite system raising fascinating questions about community change over time #alife2018
Had a great time chairing the evolutionary dynamics session at #alife2018 today! First Frank Veenstra showed that mortality can be important for evolvability, then David Parsons showed that complexity can grow without being selected for via a ratcheting mechanism...
You can find us at our table by the registration desk (we'll be there during most breaks), at the various student events we're organizing (isalstudents.org/2018/07/23/ALIFE-announc... or just around #ALIFE2018
Students at #alife2018: New here? Don't know a ton of people? Look for @ISALstudents chairs! We're wearing silver bird stickers on our badges and we want to help you feel welcome in this community. We love meeting new people and introducing them to others!
So glad @drtimt and @NRGBunny1 are doing such great work cataloging the history of Artificial Life! Understanding history of a field is so important when plotting its future #alife2018
It would be cool if in the future, instead of re-playing the powers of 10 video every year, high school science classes play David O'Reilly's game, everything (http://everything-game.com #alife2018
Just found out this paper got accepted to #alife2018 as a talk! I'll be talking about its companion paper (cse.msu.edu/~dolsonem/pdfs/vr_fitnes... on using #webvr to visualize lineages on fitness landscapes at the #VizGEC workshop at @GECCO2018
