The group of students mentored by Postdoctoral Research Associate Emma Zajdela at the Santa Fe Institute Complexity Global School in South Africa has been honored for their project "Scialog: An Antidote to Homophily Effects in Scientific Collaboration," which looked at the role of scientific conferences in generating diverse, interdisciplinary teams. As a prize, the students, who are from the African Institute of Mathematical Sciences in Ghana and Senegal, are invited to visit the Santa Fe Institute in September during the postdoc conference, where they will continue to work on their project.
