Welcome to the website of Samuel Arbesman. I’m an applied mathematician and computational scientist and am currently a Senior Scholar at the Ewing Marion Kauffman Foundation and a fellow at the Institute for Quantitative Social Science at Harvard University.

My book The Half-Life of Facts (Current/Penguin) will be published in the fall of 2012.

I also write essays for popular audiences, have a blog at Wired Science called Social Dimension, and am on Twitter at @arbesman.
