DESCRIPTION:This talk traces a meandering story of twenty years of inventio
 n\, triumph and disaster\, touching on theoretical physics\, cloud computi
 ng\, viral genetics\, pandemic responses\, and nearly dying in an NHS A&E 
 queue. You'll pick up four generally applicable laws of complex systems\, 
 gain some superpowers for averting an apocalypse\, and hopefully laugh a b
 it along the way. This isn't much of a technical talk and it is neither sa
 nitised nor triumphant — expect sarcasm\, most of all during the rough p
 atches. My hope is that you'll leave seeing your own work differently\, es
 pecially if it's quiet and unglamorous. Resilience is a property of system
 s\, not their components\, and it's the people who notice small changes an
 d tend locally who make the biggest differences of all.
