Why does life explore so few of the forms it could possibly take? Using fractal descriptors, this #scienceadvances paper shows that Earth’s biosphere clusters around simple shapes, reflecting deep evolutionary constraints. @artemyte.bsky.social @manlius.bsky.social www.science.org/doi/pdf/10.1...

We wrote a little something! @nwlandry.bsky.social and I talk about how new software to study networks with groups (like @xgi.bsky.social !) can help interdisciplinary collaborations tackle old questions from social ontology and the science of groups. www.siam.org/publications...

The CENTURI PhD Call 2026 is still ongoing. Applications are open until the end of the month, on January 28th! Visit centuri-livingsystems.org/recruitment/ to apply. #PHD #CENTURI

One week left to apply to the UVA Biology PhD program! If you or someone you know are interested in contagion from a complex systems perspective, please reach out! I'm looking for a grad student! bio.as.virginia.edu/how-apply-gr...

Lots of higher-order interactions at the joint @beyondtheedge.network and RUNES workshop at AMU in Marseille this week. Thanks to @alainbarrat.bsky.social and @lordgrilo.bsky.social!

Final week to apply for the 2026 SFI Complexity Postdoctoral Fellowships If you're an early-career scholar and passionate about collaborative, transdisciplinary research beyond traditional departments, this is the postdoc fellowship for you. Deadline: Oct 1, 2025 Apply: santafe.edu/sfifellowship

⚠️JOB ANNOUNCEMENT⚠️ Postdoctoral Position in Computational Cognitive Neuroscience (Marseille) in collaboration with @alainbarrat.bsky.social. Join us to study higher-order brain interactions in causal learning using information theory and network science. More info www.fens.org/careers/job-...

Come be my colleague! Happy to answer any questions about what it's like living in Charlottesville and being in the department.

🚨🚨 New preprint just dropped! In collaboration with @colltoaction.bsky.social, Cliff Joslyn, @fralotito.bsky.social, Audun Myers, Joshua Pickard, Brenda Praggastis, and Przemysław Szufel, we define a new data sharing standard for higher-order networks. arxiv.org/abs/2507.11520

Thrilled to finally share a huge piece of my PhD project! Our paper “The Topological Architecture of Brain Identity” is now out on bioRxiv: biorxiv.org/content/10.1... 🧵 1/n

🧠 Want to understand how different higher-order methods compare in brain connectivity analysis? Check out our new preprint — a fantastic collab with past & present NPL members @lordgrilo.bsky.social : 🔗 www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1... A thread🧵

@nwlandry.bsky.social fighting against vibes-based estimations of the convergence when sampling from the configuration model. Good content. Bonus: @xgi.bsky.social viz

Our first keynote @marilyngatica.bsky.social opening TopoNets @netsciconf.bsky.social with higher-order interactions for neuroscience

Learning from @maximelca.bsky.social how to be nice to people in science 🤣🤣 @netplace.bsky.social @netsciconf.bsky.social

If you are at #NetSci25, join us at 1pm for our @netplace.bsky.social panel on the topic of "Science as a craft: Balancing career and skill progression", with panelists @asteixeira.bsky.social, @maximelca.bsky.social and @captainkirk1041.bsky.social

Tomorrow at lunch 👇👇👇

🎉 Very happy to announce Maxime Lucas @maximelca.bsky.social as our next panelist! Maxime is an FNRS Postdoc at the Namur Institute for Complex Systems & UCLouvain in Belgium. He is interested in dynamical systems, complex systems, networks, and their applications to life sciences.

Next week at @netsciconf.bsky.social -- it's time for another edition of TopoNets! 🗓️ June 3, 2025 📍 FPN Paarse Zaal A great lineup, including keynote talks by @marilyngatica.bsky.social , Kwang-Il Goh, @captainkirk1041.bsky.social & Maria Pope Full programme: sites.google.com/view/toponet...

Tomorrow after lunch I'll talk about fungi 👇👇👇

PhD fellowship to work with me and Benedetta Franceschiello on the analysis and modelling of fast sampled fMRI data! www.ugent.be/en/work/scie...

📣 Commentary by @danielemarinazzo.bsky.social (thanks!) on our latest led by @thomrobiglio.bsky.social now out in PRL. Paper: journals.aps.org/prl/abstract...

Would you like to engage in scientific communication for the general public? In Siena during @css-conference.bsky.social it will be your occasion! 4 scientists will be chosen and coached by Scienza Coatta to step into the spotlight of a big event-show-scientific quiz. docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1F...

1/6 New work in PRE selected as editor's suggestion! With a new hyperedge overlap matrix we characterize its impact on synchronizability in systems with HO interactions go.aps.org/3FfNGJ6 @santiagolaot.bsky.social, @federicomalizia.bsky.social, V. Latora, M. Frasca & @gomezgardenes.bsky.social

Our newest research in @nature.com We built a robot (!) to track plant-fungal trade networks. By following half a million fungal highways & nutrient flows within them, we discovered how plants & fungi build hyper-efficient supply chains www.nature.com/articles/s41... 📹 @sasaspacal.bsky.social

This is result of several efforts from the Complex Systems Society to strive for fairer publishing and evaluating systems in academia. cssociety.org/about/manife...

Higher-order Laplacian renormalization www.nature.com/articles/s41...
