Attended my first RHINO conference (APCTP Workshop on the Roles of Heterogeneity in Nonequilibrium) this weekend 🎉 where I had the pleasure of giving an invited talk. The event was held at Pukyong National University, Busan, & was wonderfully organized by Seung Ki Baek + Eun Lee 🙏 🙇‍♀️

We're organizing the "APCTP Workshop on the Roles of Heterogeneity in Nonequilibrium (RHINO 2025)"; the workshop will be held from 29 August to 1 September 2025 in Pukyong National University (PKNU), Busan, Korea. www.apctp.org/theme/d/html...

+ Yesterday, I gave a lecture on computational approaches to game theory at a summer school in Kyiv. You can find more information about the summer school, and a very impressive list of speakers, here: game-theory-school.kse.ua 🎲🧮🇺🇦

Last week, I had the pleasure of attending EGAI (Game Theory & Artificial Intelligence Conference) 🎲🤖 as an invited speaker. This conference is becoming the main event for bringing together the game theory community in 🇨🇳 I wrote a short post about the conference here: nikoleta-v3.github.io/egai/

Just published in JOSS: 'HeXtractor: Extracting Heterogeneous Graphs from Structured and Textual Data for Graph Neural Networks' https://doi.org/10.21105/joss.08057

An incredible opportunity! 📰🎉 Join our research group exploring social questions, work with an amazing supervisor, and live in Japan for a few years while you're at it! 🇯🇵🍜

Some amazing work by @franzilesi.bsky.social on repeated games! In this new paper, she describes the conditions under which a player can remember less than their opponent and still achieve a best response. See 🧵👇 This is my first last-author publication! Feeling like a wise person already 🧙‍♂️

A great summary of our recent articles, now live here 👇 The work was conducted at the MPI for Evolutionary Biology🧑🏻‍🔬 Check it out to learn more about game theory and cooperation 🤝

I am genuinely very excited to announce that I am officially a Research Scientist at the RIKEN Center for Computational Science in the Discrete Event Simulation team, led by Nobuyasu Ito! 🇯🇵 🗾 🗻

Looking for a light read during the holidays?🎄 Let me tell you about our new publication with Vince Knight & @marcharper.bsky.social on the properties of strategies in computer tournaments for the Iterated Prisoner’s Dilemma (IPD) 🧵 journals.plos.org/ploscompbiol...

A very nice journey with a great ending: In a new paper, @NikoletaGlyn describes how longer memory allows people to sustain reciprocal cooperation. For details, see 🧵 below 👇 Paper: www.pnas.org/doi/10.1073/...

Cooperation in society: How our memory influences our behavior Conditional cooperation with longer memory 🏺🧪 www.pnas.org/doi/10.1073/... Direct reciprocity is based on repeated interactions. Nice strategies are never the first to defect which can sustain full cooperation as a Nash equilibrium.

🚨Together with Ethan Akin, Martin A Nowak and @chilbe.bsky.social our new paper published in PNAS characterizes partner strategies (Nash strategies that sustain cooperation) for reactive-n strategies in repeated games 🧵 📜 www.pnas.org/doi/10.1073/...

There seem to be a lot of BlueSky users interested in evolutionary game theory and related areas of theoretical ecology and evolution. I made a preliminary starter pack for EGT and related topics. Please let me know if you would like to join or if you have any suggestions. go.bsky.app/N2SMwCN
