Wonderful time in Australia! 🇦🇺 At #ASNAC2025 I presented my work on missing data in network autocorrelation models and had great exchanges with the ANSNA community. I visited UniMelb, Swinburne, and UNSW (Seed Fund UC–UNSW), and presented at the University of Sydney @chisocnet.bsky.social

So glad to share this new episode of Knitting Networks, featuring Tom A. B. Snijders, a mentor for many of us and one of the most inspiring minds in our field. 🌐 A conversation about bridges between mathematics, sociology, and network modelling.

In this episode, we discuss how culture and cognition shape network ties, the value of data science, and how sociology can bridge structure and meaning. Hosted by @aespinosarada.bsky.social & @franciscaortizruiz.bsky.social #Podcast #SocialNetworks @insna.bsky.social @netscisociety.bsky.social

After a brief hiatus, we’re thrilled to bring Knitting Networks back on air 🎧 Our new episode features Omar Lizardo, one of the most influential scholars connecting culture, cognition, and social networks.. Listen here: 🔗 open.spotify.com/episode/5zpC... #NetworkScience #CulturalSociology #SocNet

1/n 🚨 Just out in Social Networks! Our new paper (w/ Jürgen Lerner & @corneliusfritz.bsky.social) uses a Group-Oriented Relational Hyperevent Model to explore how collaboration networks shape citation behavior among researchers. Title: “Socio-cognitive networks between researchers”

Happy to see Dr Francisca Ortiz @franciscaortizruiz.bsky.social shining at @complenet.bsky.social A role model for us. She shines with many works about the role of social support for women and also plays an important role as the President of @wins-society.bsky.social Thank you for sharing

1/n 🧵 The conference has been incredibly stimulating—especially the keynote speakers at @complenet.bsky.social, who tackled different yet complementary dimensions of social issues:

@aespinosarada.bsky.social president of @chisocnet.bsky.social presented his research on “Authors standing on the shoulders of other authors:  Unpacking the author normalised weighted direct citation” coauthored with Martin Everett @mitchellsna.bsky.social at @complenet.bsky.social

Second time attending a more 'network science'–focused conference. There’s a lot of crossover with other social network conferences, and it's really fun to learn about such a wide range of topics! @complenet.bsky.social @chisocnet.bsky.social #networkscience

First dayyy 🥳🥳 @complenet.bsky.social

Excited to be part of the launch of the GIST-Hub project, a collaboration between UC and LMU Munich aimed at driving sustainability transitions through evidence-based governance & innovation. Looking forward to the impact of this project! 🌍♻️ #Sustainability #GISTHub
