Congratulations to Dr. Rafael Prieto-Curiel, winner of the Junior Scientific Award 2025, for his contributions to complex systems research through innovative mathematical modelling of social phenomena🎉

Brennan Klein is interested in developing tools and theory for characterizing dynamics, structure, and scale in networks, but also in creating and analyzing large-scale datasets that reveal inequalities in the U.S., from epidemics to mass incarceration. #ComplexNetworks2025

How does social network structure amplify or stifle behavior diffusion? Turns out, complex contagions are more complicated than we thought … (1/7)

My new paper with @criedl.bsky.social and @davidlazer.bsky.social!

Kicking off the machine learning session, @moritzlaber.bsky.social studies how incorporating prior knowledge about network dynamical systems into neural ODEs influences sample efficiency, as well as the correlation between network structure and performance. #NetSci2025

The "Paper Unwind" series returned to #NetSI with a session led by @asteixeira.bsky.social sharing the backstory of one of her papers. Started by @moritzlaber.bsky.social the series brings the untold story of how research papers come to life. About our latest #PaperUnwind 👉 lnkd.in/ex7DPimN

Please I can't take more stock fluctuation graphs where the horizontal axis is just the last week and the vertical axis starts at like 5,500 and goes up to 5,700 Bad graphs can't be the best way to make your point

Why does it feel like despite all the news and reporting we consume as a population, we rarely have any actual information about what is going on? We might have some answers… 🧵

For our junior colleagues in the US looking for opportunities, Europe is a great place to do science 🧪 We have a #postdoc call open right now! #complexity csh.ac.at/education/po...

@eliassi.bsky.social was guest on Sean Carroll's podcast #Mindscape, where she explored the impact of big data on modern life, from powering AI models to influencing medical procedures, shopping, and even our romantic lives. 🎙️podcast episode www.preposterousuniverse.com/podcast/2025...

Narayan Sabhahit from @nunetsi.bsky.social introduces a formal definition of network typicality by derandomisation (work with Krioukov lab and @scarpino.bsky.social) #netscix2025

Writing is thinking. It’s not a part of the process that can be skipped; it’s the entire point.

When you least expected it! A new blog post. petterhol.me/2024/10/26/s...

Happy to see this community growing. 🎉 Hoping to see even more #networkscience and #complexsystems posts here in the future.

Other academics: do you ever sneak easter eggs into your published papers? (particular words, phrasings, things in images or plots, references, etc.) If so, what are some of your personal favorites? (I don't do it with every paper, but gosh, it's a fun part of being a professional scientist!)

#Rep4CS invited speaker Harrison Hartle discusses how the choices of representation would cause biases in sample distributions #CCS2024

"The practical risks of AI are not that they become super capable thinking machines. It is building complex systems around machines we falsely assume are capable of greater discernment and logic than they possess."

Last spring, Washington state passed a bill banning commercial octopus farming. Today, we (myself and 99 others, led by Jennifer Jacquet, Becca Franks, Peter Godfrey-Smith, and Walter Sanchez-Suarez) have a letter in Science supporting the US OCTOPUS Act, which would do the same nationwide.

Zotero 7 just dropped. I've been using the beta for several months and it's absolutely fantastic. And it restores an early feature of Zotero that went missing over a decade ago: the ability to annotate snapshots of web pages and add those annotations to your notes.

Good news everyone! A new version of graph-tool is just out! graph-tool.skewed.de graph-tool is a comprehensive and efficient Python library to work with networks, including structural, dynamical, and statistical algorithms, as well as visualization. 1/N

Internet and Society: The Trans-Atlantic Research Future. Coming to London, May 10. Hope you can join us!

Registration fees are now up on the website. Take a look, and while you're there, why not submit an abstract too? Visit ccs24.cssociety.org/registration/ to get started! Extended deadline is on the 26th of April! #CCS24

Cool postdoc opportunity!!

We are extending the abstract submission deadline to Jan 22nd. That's ten extra days! Our resolution for 2024 is to best serve the network science community. And that starts with making sure everyone can submit their projects in their best possible state.
