      So amazing. And it's amazing all the way down—a field with papers with titles like "Are Biological Systems Poised at Criticality?" does not disappoint.https://twitter.com/IrishMirror/status/953308975071719425 …

          “Dark hard science fiction“ involving “starlings, scale free networks, a peer review”!!! That is powerful clickbait!https://twitter.com/henryfarrell/status/955239763665137665 …

          There is an excellent, creepy short story by @aquilarift on this theme - A Murmuration - starlings, scale free networks, a peer review that gradually converges on Report on Probability A, and _then_ things start go get weird … http://locusmag.com/2015/03/lois-tilton-reviews-short-fiction-late-march-5/#iz201504 …

          The two Ireland videos appear to be the same event, shot by different people. A Cooper’s Hawk got a starling in our back yard last year - one consequence of getting caught too close to the ground and without a large enough flock to confuse predators.
