Geoffrey Miller, now at Univ of New Mexico but formerly with the EASy group at Sussex 1992-94, had his paper in Evolution and Human Behavior on why lap dancers earn more when they are fertile commented on in many press articles including the Economist of 11 Oct 2007

Rachel Wood (CCNR) had her work using Evolutionary Robotics techniques to recreate a version of the A-not-B-error seen in infant development covered in the New Scientist of 5 Oct 2007

Fernando Almeida E Costa (CCNR) survived being the Main Organiser of the successful ECAL2007 Eur Conf on Artificial Life, Lisbon 10-14 Sep 2007.

5 of the Workshops at ECAL2007 plus 1 Tutorial were co-organised by current/former Alergic people from Sussex:

In Lisbon prior to ECAL2007, 8-9 Sep 2007, a Workshop on Daisyworld and the Maximum Entropy Production Principle: Computational Modelling of the Earth/Life System: Homeostasis and the Selection of Steady States, was organised by James Dyke and Inman Harvey

Allister Furey (CCNR) had his work using Evolutionary Robotics techniques to design a controller for kite flying -- with the ultimate aim of windpower generation through kites -- covered in the New Scientist of 8 Sep 2007

The Organising Commitee of ALIFE XI, in Winchester UK 5-8 Aug 2008, comprises ex-Sussex Alergic members Seth Bullock, Jason Noble and Richard Watson.
