John Conway is why I got a PhD in computational social science. His Game of Life was my first encounter with cellular automata and I thought it was just about the coolest most interesting thing I had ever seen. Still mostly feel that way. Thanks for the inspiration, Dr. Conway.pic.twitter.com/7JJwFdcpp6
