Next up: two classic sociological networks! Mohr & Duquenne (1997) map how NYC’s social welfare system evolved from strict moral categorizations of “the poor” in 1888 to a professionalized structure by 1917. A Galois lattice reveals how culture shaped the very logic of relief. 🔗 tinyurl.com/a35dr9cv

Another striking network visualization: the Network of Political Blogs during the 2004 U.S. presidential election. Red = Republican, Blue = Democratic. The analysis revealed dense within-party links and few cross-party ties—an early snapshot of online polarization. Study 🔗 tinyurl.com/4mfxpr9b

🚨 𝗡𝗲𝘁𝗦𝗰𝗶 𝟮𝟬𝟮𝟲 𝗿𝗲𝗴𝗶𝘀𝘁𝗿𝗮𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻 𝗶𝘀 𝗻𝗼𝘄 𝗼𝗽𝗲𝗻! Secure your spot at the flagship conference of the Network Science Society and take advantage of the early bird registration special - www.netsci2026.com/registration 📅 June 1–5, 2026 | Hyatt Regency, Cambridge, MA Join us as we celebrate 20 years of NetSci!

Another great visualization—The Network of the Conclave maps the social structure of the papal conclave, where each node represents a cardinal, colored by doctrinal orientation. Few modern decision-making processes combine secrecy, ritual, and influence as vividly as this one. 🔗 tinyurl.com/2rz3as5w

Next up! ✈️ A look at the worldwide airport network (2013). Researchers tested 12 attack strategies and found that degree-based and Bonacich-based attacks most disrupt passenger flow—laying the groundwork for smarter, more resilient air transport systems.

Continuing our network visualization series. Research has long focused on a few related disorders—but genetics now reveals links across nearly all diseases. The HDN, developed by @barabasi.bsky.social maps genetic connections between disorders, offering a genome-wide roadmap for future discoveries.

Let’s warm up your appetite for the beauty of networks! 🌐 Leading up to #NetSci2026, we’ll share iconic visualizations that reveal just how interconnected our world is. Consider this your visual warm-up before the conference! 👀

Wow, I trully didn’t expect this one!! I have been awarded a Best Student Talk price at NetSci2025🤩 Thanks to all the organisers (@netsciconf.bsky.social) for this very exciting event.

#netsci2025 awards! Congrats to all winners!

This turned out great, thanks to three amazing speakers and an engaged audience. Great job everyone! Let's maybe turn this into a regular NetSci satellite? @netsciconf.bsky.social

Can a network be physically be a graph but effectively be a hypergraph? Tiago Pereira is speaking about emergent hypernetworks in the focus session “Network Dynamical Systems” at @netsciconf.bsky.social.

Had an awesome time this week at @netbiomed2025.bsky.social and @netsciconf.bsky.social. Very interesting talks and posters and nice people, I couldn’t be more excited to get back to working on this topic to study biological processes.

Final shift at @netsciconf.bsky.social presenting my poster on nonequilibrium brain network dynamics. Also got to see our fearless leader, Renaud Lambiotte, collect his well-deserved Fellowship. #NetSci2025

Our last #NetSci2025 keynote speaker is Michael Macy, who discussed polarization not from the opinion perspective but from the people point of view. His work was very insightful when showing the importance of 'early movers' when generating polarization cascades. @netsciconf.bsky.social

The Network and Data Science Department @ceu-dnds.bsky.social @netsciconf.bsky.social

Earlier this week, @lmrocha.bsky.social , Chair of CBeRa, was an invited speaker at the @netbiomed2025.bsky.social Satellite of @netsciconf.bsky.social in Maastricht. He spoke about making digital twins more interpretable, a key move for biomedical AI! Great chance to show CBeRa to the community

Best official merchandise for @netsciconf.bsky.social!

@lindadouw.bsky.social keynoting at @netsciconf.bsky.social on multiscale network neuroscience!

@netsciconf.bsky.social #NetSci25 poster session: cool discussions with @elisalvai.bsky.social from @nerdsitu.bsky.social 🥳

People of #netsci2025! Come hear from experts of a field that has had so far little interaction with our community, but holds great potential for us physicists who think we can solve any other field 😂, at our focus session on network psychometrics on Friday! netsci2025.github.io/focus_sessio...

science = happiness @netsciconf.bsky.social

Wow, @netsciconf.bsky.social --- I'm impressed.

Super keynote by Iza Romanowska @netsciconf.bsky.social about resilience of cities in the past! #historymatters #digitalhumanities #netsci2025

Another talk at #NetSci2025 @netsciconf.bsky.social you shouldn't miss: Thilo Gross @thilogross.bsky.social will give a talk in the Ecological Networks session at 12:45 pm today. 📄Functional Motifs in Food Webs and Networks 📌0.04 Brussels

If you're looking for a quite handy multitype branching process framework for modeling diffusion in networks with communities check this work by @davidjpos.bsky.social and friends. @netsciconf.bsky.social #netsci2025

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

Having a great time @netsciconf.bsky.social. Presenting joint work with Tianyu Du, Raphael Heiberger, and Dan McFarland on conventionality and impact in biomedical science. Come by and check out my poster today if you are around. It's also available online: rwth-aachen.sciebo.de/s/aI1ICq6jtf...

Around at #NetSci2025? Can't wait to learn more about fairness in network rankings? Head straight to my poster at stall N. 85, during today's poster session 🚀 @netsciconf.bsky.social

My conference is more cinematic than yours (at @netsciconf.bsky.social )

🎶 Temporal networks as music? Jari’s audio demo makes temporal networks audible—and it’s oddly mesmerizing. Wild stuff—hear it for yourself and find more here: jarisaramaki.fi/2024/03/19/t... @jsaramak.bsky.social @netsciconf.bsky.social #netsci2025

Finishing #NetSci2025's third day, Jari Saramäki discusses the importance of temporality in the network science paradigm. I liked his emphasis on causality, and I found event networks very compelling to defeat to explore what life is! @netsciconf.bsky.social

Turning a temporal network into MIDI and then listening to the multilayer temporal motifs. Great keynote by Jari Saramäki @netsciconf.bsky.social 2025 in Maastricht :)

Interested in link prediction? We will talk about an undesirable shortcut that makes modes appear to be great on catalog despite being poor in practice, due to the friendship paradox. Join me at Machine Learning session 14:30 today. @netsciconf.bsky.social #NetSci2025

Lightning talks P4 at #NetSci2025 (very nice job Gabrielle!), please don't forget to vote! + @alessianetwork.bsky.social introduced us to one of the many @netplace.bsky.social's activities at @netsciconf.bsky.social, please join us!

Lightning talks P3 at #NetSci2025. Hey @netsciconf.bsky.social, where's the link which we can use to vote?

Our first keynote speaker today at #NetSci2025 is Sonia Kéfi, who gave us a general panorama on studying resilience in systems, with an emphasis on ecosystems. Her general approach could help us to recover ecological networks which have been irrupt or even devastated by humans.

#NetSci2025 keynote Sonia Kefi discusses network-based models of abrupt ecological state shifts
