BioFrontiers Presents: "A Fragile Peace: What the statistics of war tell us about our future"

BioFrontiers Presents is a free public talk series sponsored by the CU Boulder BioFrontiers Institute. Our mission is to engage with our community through public talks for public good. Professor Aaron Clauset will deliver the September talk: A Fragile Peace: What the statistics of war tell us about our future. His talk will explore the hidden statistics of armed conflict to estimate the true likelihood of a large war in our lifetimes. Does the Long Peace represent a lasting, structural change in global stability, or could it be a natural fluctuation in a highly variable but otherwise stable system of human conflict? How do large wars become so large in the first place? How do these insights reveal the underlying risks of today’s regional conflicts, and what might they imply for the future? Come learn what patterns of past warfare could teach us about our future and promoting peace! Talk + Q&A for the first hour, then a free reception to facilitate informal discussion.
