A 2011 paper in the ill-accessible proceedings of the ESMTB discussing that the parsimony principle of physics may not apply to (systems) biology

In this short book written by Hans V. Westerhoff, it is argued that scientific rationality as further developed in systems biology should be used to tackle the complex problems of society. This is promoted as one way to battle the disinformation strategies followed by a great many political leaders with the aim of staying in power through populism.

To be cited as: Westerhoff, H.V., (2020) Trumping the Trumps: Addressing complexities through biological rationality, SysBA press, Amsterdam.
