Caleb Chandler explores how societies emerge and evolve. Rather than engineered systems, he sees them as complex, adaptive, and emergent, and in the MS in Complex Network Analysis (2025–26 cohort), he’s found the grounding to pursue this path. Read more: tinyurl.com/hssa3t37

As we look ahead to the next academic year, join one of five live info sessions for our MS in Complex Network Analysis, led by @jkbren.bsky.social (Brennan Klein). Learn about concentrations, experiential learning, and career paths. Register and share with anyone interested. tinyurl.com/2dsncmjs

The Higgs mechanism was proposed in 1964 by three independent teams. But here is the puzzle🤔: the "disruption index" says Higgs's paper is among the least disruptive ever. So what is going on? In our new paper, just out in #ScienceAdvances, we take up this puzzle: doi.org/10.1126/scia... 👇 1/7

We have just updated our "Atlas of Inequality." Have a look at the new version and our research on how to map experience segregation in cities inequality.media.mit.edu

[New paper!] Mobility data are incredibly powerful, but also come with a long list of well-known biases (sampling, coverage, demographics, behavioral, etc.). In the paper, we survey them all and then zoom in on one that has been surprisingly underexplored: temporal bias. arxiv.org/abs/2601.22330

Correcting temporal bias in mobility data using time-use surveys arxiv.org/abs/2601.22330

Excited to share that I’ll be giving a talk at @nunetsi.bsky.social on Thursday, Feb 19, 2026, at 1:30 pm ET (hybrid). If you’re around (or want to join virtually), I’d love to see you there! #ComputationalSocialScience #CareerMobility #Skills #FutureOfWork #Migration
