DESCRIPTION:Bifurcations in the era of big data: applications in cardiology
  and ecology\n\nThomas Bury (91ºÚÁÏÍø)\n	Tuesday September 22\, 12
 -1pm\n	Zoom Link: https://mcgill.zoom.us/j/91589192037\n\nAbstract:Numerous
  biological systems have the capacity to undergo abrupt transitions to an 
 alternative dynamical regime as the result of crossing a bifurcation. In e
 cology\, a lake may undergo a runaway algal bloom as excess nutrients are 
 deposited\; in medicine\, a human heart may transition to a dangerous arrh
 ythmia upon premature excitation\; in epidemiology\, a pandemic may rapidl
 y emerge from a sufficiently infectious virus. Two fundamental questions a
 re 1) can we determine the system-specific mechanisms that give rise to th
 ese bifurcations\, and 2) can we predict them. In this talk\, we discuss h
 ow the emergence of ‘big data’ can help with these endeavours\, while prov
 iding examples from our research in cardiology and ecology. This talk is a
 imed at a general scientific audience and does not require prior understan
 ding of bifurcations.\n
