"Trump is a vehicle of divine Providence", said Bannon, as a cloud of flies buzzed around him, feeding upon his rotting, reanimated flesh

🏆 Excited to share that our team received the Best Data Challenge Award at #NetMob2025 in Paris! 🏆 "On the Relationship between Space-Time Accessibility and Leisure Activity Participation" Stay tuned for our preprint. #urban #mobility #accessibility #transport

We must come to terms with the fact that it was a huge mistake to leave the online world largely unchecked, and that we urgently need to deal with a fragmented, radicalized and instrumentalized reality in many countries simultaneously and take action instead of remaining in shock or relativization.

🚗 💥 Excited to share that our latest article is now published in Sustainable Cities and Society! 🔗 lnkd.in/gE8QyWAH 💫 First study to use mobile phone activity data to estimate CO2 emissions validated with emissions sensor measurements

Extremely excited about this *new preprint*, where we use a collective field experiment with our own subreddits, which allowed us to uncover diverging factors for online participation between the very active and the passive. More details by the (as usual) *amazing* lead @lfoswaldo.bsky.social below👇

This is insane

How do major real-world events shape online conversations? With Anna Mancini, @giuliocimini.bsky.social @ric-dicle.bsky.social we found that while activity surges, users repeat the same ideas at an accelerating pace, limiting meaningful discussions.
