Connect The Dots Across Domains

In his sixties, a particle physicist named Geoffrey West walked into the Santa Fe Institute and asked a strange question: do cities, companies, and animals all grow by the same mathematical rules? The answer was yes, and it changed how scientists think about connections across completely different fields. In this lesson you will learn to see the same issue through multiple lenses, combine insights from different domains into one clearer view, solve a challenge that requires connected thinking, and write a note about what became clearer when the domains connected.
