Today's ecology lesson led me down a rabbit hole.
MacArthur & Wilson asked in 1967: Why do some places have more species than others?
Their answer reshaped how we think about systems 🧵 #SystemsThinking #Ecology #LifelongLearning press.princeton.edu/books/pa…
Or even borrow the actual math — immigration/extinction curves — to model system resilience?
Still just a hunch. But the kind that keeps you up at night.
This is why I love learning across fields.
The bridge is real:
→ Baudry et al., "Towards Ecology-Inspired Software Engineering"
→ ecological resilience → fault tolerance, self-healing via diversity
The equilibrium math maps onto system stability, too.

Want to become a better engineer? Study ecology. This simple graph, "immigration vs. extinction finding equilibrium", changed how I think about complex systems. Sometimes the best mental models don't come from tech. They come from nature. #SystemsThinking #LifelongLearning

Tonight, it’s all about toxicology! 🌊🧪

This allows the observation of possible adaptive mechanisms to that particular pollutant, that would increase the sur vival success of that population in an environmental pollution scenario, or it might reveal aggravated or delayed effects of pollutants.
