IFE Distinguished Visitor Lecture - recorded 7 June 2019 at QUT.

The digital revolution offers opportunities for science to discover unsuspected patterns and relationships in nature and society, on scales from the nanoscale to the cosmic, from local health systems to global sustainability. Access to global data has created the potential for scientific disciplines to achieve more holistic understanding of the complexity that underlies human challenges by exposing their deep structure through the integration of data across relevant disciplines.
