We are restarting the @wins-society.bsky.social book club! The first edition was super fun, so let’s do it again :) On October 8 we will present the first book and plan for the rest of the semester! See you there 🙌🏼

I’ve been lucky enough to have two packed rooms (University of Padova and University of Lisbon) to listen about different branches of my work, reviving Spanning Edge Betweenness, Bacterial Populations and Evolution, Evolutionary Game Theory and Predictive Signed Networks w/ real data! Thank you 🙌🏼

In just about a week, the season's first NetSci Colloquium will happen. And we're starting with a bang . . . with none other than Iain Couzin talking about Collective Behavior in Animal Groups. September 24, 10 AM ET. Register here to get a Zoom link: iu.zoom.us/webinar/regi...

Next Tuesday in Padova! Thank you @manlius.bsky.social for having me! Looking forward to it!

For those in Portugal, I’ll be giving a talk next Thursday at LASIGE, Informática em Ciências , Faculdade de Ciências da Universidade de Lisboa Looking forward to seeing colleagues and previous students! lasige.pt/talk/lasige-...

Today is World Suicide Prevention Day. Suicide remains a major public health challenge. Our work has explored cognitive and emotional mechanisms behind suicide ideation—here are three papers: 🔗 www.nature.com/articles/s41... 🔗 www.frontiersin.org/journals/psy... 🔗 www.mdpi.com/2504-2289/9/...

Once upon a time I used to write reviews about books. This one made me want to write again (still in Portuguese, maybe in the future I’ll try in English): branmorrighan.com/2025/09/opin...

✨ Recommendations for Sharing Network Data and Materials were developed by an interdisciplinary working group of network researchers to clarify and promote open science practices in network research. buff.ly/0WxtZIt buff.ly/rWk3R3l

Congrats team 🙌🏼

Two new labs at the Network Science Institute! NET Lab in #Boston explores team networks advance the frontier of science. BRAN Lab in #London studies behavior & mental health through brain, social, and environmental dynamics. 🔗 Learn more: #NetLab bit.ly/46SqOv6 #BranLab bit.ly/4f13hu9

Our article “Evidence of equilibrium dynamics in human social networks evolving in time”, published in Communications Physics, is now featured on their homepage as part of their monthly selection of highlights! If you didn't read it yet, take a look! www.nature.com/commsphys/

My "Math, Revealed" series is freely available to anyone -- no paywall! -- in the thread below.

This was such a great edition! Super grateful and happy to have been part of this 10th anniversary 🙏🏼

Amazing summer school on complex networks/systems. Highly recommend to students. Extremely high quality of student presentations.

Busy month! And there we go! Our editorial for the Focus on game theory and AI in complex systems in the Journal of Physics: Complexity 💪🏼 With The Anh Han and Alberto Antonioni iopscience.iop.org/collections/...

It’s happening. BRAN Lab is here, my first research group. We explore how and why we connect (and disconnect), using network science, signed networks, ML, and cognitive modeling: from minds to systems, humans to AI, mental health to epidemic prevention. andreiasofiateixeira.com/branlab/

New publication out, led by @massimost.bsky.social with @thomhills.bsky.social and others ! The last of a series of three studies in which we studied suicide ideation. On this one, we find anxiety as a key latent feature of suicidal psychology. Read more here: www.mdpi.com/2504-2289/9/...

Congrats @iterrucha.bsky.social 🙌🏼🙌🏼🙌🏼

People not only form social networks, they construct mental maps of them. People think about the ties between other people, including ties among individuals to whom they are not themselves directly connected. These “cognitive social networks” have rarely been studied. 1/

Now that the fever of NetSci is gone, just a kind reminder that we have our newest research out at Communications Physics, led by @miguelagoncas.bsky.social with @anxosanchez.bsky.social 🙌🏼🙌🏼

Just another weekend doing book therapy.

@nunetsi.bsky.social team at @netsciconf.bsky.social 🙌🏼🙌🏼

And this is was a wrap of the FRIENDS (signet-friends.github.io) satellite in its first edition at @netsciconf.bsky.social ! 60+ attended and engaged with the amazing lineup of speakers.

BRAN Lab + Friends 🙌🏼

1/8 How do networks of social relationships evolve over time? This evolution is driven by a complex interplay of cognitive, emotional, and social factors. It’s only natural to assume that such complexity would make this dynamics highly unpredictable. But…

2/n Renaud Lambiotte is our second keynote with a talk on Structural balance beyond signed networks

FRIENDS satellite had just started! @signet-friends.bsky.social @asteixeira.bsky.social @miguelagoncas.bsky.social @fernandodiazdiaz.bsky.social @netsciconf.bsky.social

Packed room and still people coming for the FRIENDS (signet-friends.github.io) satellite at @netsciconf.bsky.social ! Thank you all 🙌🏼

🤯 Despite constant changes in friendships, social networks surprisingly tend towards a stable "equilibrium" over time! Our new paper led by @miguelagoncas.bsky.social with @asteixeira.bsky.social reveals predictable patterns in the overall social structure. #SocialNetworks #Equilibrium #Physics

So happy to see this published! Led by @miguelagoncas.bsky.social , with me and @anxosanchez.bsky.social , proving that the dynamical process driving the evolution of an empirical social network is stationary, and that the network itself is in dynamical equilibrium. www.nature.com/articles/s42...

🎙️ Tomorrow at the FRIENDS Satellite: Join us to hear Renaud Lambiotte exploring structural balance beyond the classical framework!

🎙️ Kicking off our FRIENDS Satellite tomorrow with an exciting keynote by Jana Diesner! Don’t miss this deep dive into her insights on how to use natural language processing to study signed networks — a perfect start to a day full of signed networks!

📢 Due to unforeseen circumstances, our keynote speaker Tiago P. Peixoto will unfortunately not be able to join us at the Friends Satellite. Stay tuned for updates and final details coming soon.

Come join us tomorrow afternoon (2nd June) at WiNS @ NetSci: the future of Network Science (Location: FPN Tongeren zaal)! Keynotes by @asteixeira.bsky.social and @katyborner.bsky.social, followed by lightining talks / posters from the WiNS community :)

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

Happy to join the morning discussions!

Another session I’m really looking forward to participating! See you there!

Super looking forward to seeing you in Maastricht next week! Join us for another edition of the FRIENDS satellite!

It will be a pleasure! See you in Maastricht!

Super happy to be part of the WiNS satellite! See you in Maastricht!

Calendar event: calendar.app.google/DZXeT6g1g3rY... A good way to remember when and where to go to hear more about signed networks :) Thanks to the other organizers, @asteixeira.bsky.social , @fernandodiazdiaz.bsky.social , @miguelagoncas.bsky.social

🚨 We’re thrilled to welcome Sergey Gavrilets (Uni of Tennessee) as our second invited speaker at #CCS2025! Sergey's work spans human origins, the evolution of social complexity and broader transdisciplinary topics. 📅 Submit an abstract by May 21 or join us on Sept 3: 🔗 amethystsatellite.weebly.com

This week at the Lake Como School of Complex Networks I’ll be giving a lecture about applications of Signed Networks in Computational Social Sciences. I’ll also present for the first time my freshly created lab! Thanks to the organizers (cc @ymoreno.bsky.social) for this exciting opportunity!

🚨 Just 1 week to go! Join us in London 🇬🇧 on May 16 for the NetPlace Workshop on Networks & Physics! Keynotes, collabathon, ERC-style pitches & more 🧠⚛️💥 🆓 Registration is free 💸 Travel/accommodation support available for those who register by Friday May 9 👉 netplace.site/event/netpla...

I have co-authored many papers but with this one I believe we are contributing a qualitative step ahead to understand social networks. Wouldn't have been possible were not for the true forces behind this work, @miguelagoncas.bsky.social and @asteixeira.bsky.social. Thank you so much!

A huge thank you to the @nunetsi.bsky.social for having me, for allowing me to share about my research and other unconventional paths and conversations. Such an amazing crowd. Bonus to watching the Celtics twice 🤍 See you soon, family in Boston!
