Chance encounters at SFI have spun off new fields that are now approaching the mainstream. Today’s reckless idea, tea-time conversation, or dry-erase diagram could become tomorrow’s news.

To keep up with our pioneering research, please subscribe to our monthly research news updates, podcast, and social media channels (Twitter: @sfiscience), or email news@santafe.edu to request home delivery of our quarterly printed newsletter.

While most of our on-site events are closed to the public, members of the media who wish to attend a scientific workshop or working group can request permission through our media center. Many of our lunchtime seminars for scientists are recorded and available on our YouTube channel.
