We’re excited to launch the 𝗦𝗣𝗔𝗡 𝗟𝗮𝗯 at @nunetsi.bsky.social London, led by Prof. István Kiss . The team studies how contagion spreads through networks—biological, social, and technological, with projects spanning epidemics, inference, and healthcare. Span Lab 🔗 tinyurl.com/j4bve9n

Take another look at this study on social segregation in Milan, done by @riccardodiclemente.com and colleagues. It shows that diverse amenities, strong transit, and public spaces can turn outer neighborhoods into “social bridges” across income groups. news.northeastern.edu/2025/09/17/c...

Measuring AI’s impact on work goes beyond job losses, t’s about how tech reshapes skills & tasks. @estebanmoro.bsky.social and collaborators are building the 𝙊𝙗𝙨𝙚𝙧𝙫𝙖𝙩𝙤𝙧𝙮 𝙤𝙛 𝙐𝙎 𝙅𝙤𝙗 𝘿𝙞𝙨𝙧𝙪𝙥𝙩𝙞𝙤𝙣 to track job skills and predict unemployment risk more accurately. news.northeastern.edu/2025/09/17/n...

After publishing two new studies on the #dengue virus, @nunetsi.bsky.social professors 𝗠𝗮𝘂𝗿𝗶𝗰𝗶𝗼 𝗦𝗮𝗻𝘁𝗶𝗹𝗹𝗮𝗻𝗮 and 𝗠𝗶𝗰𝗵𝗮𝗲𝗹 𝗝𝗼𝗵𝗮𝗻𝘀𝘀𝗼𝗻 caught the attention of @nuglobalnews.bsky.social, which covered their different approaches to #forecasting dengue fever outbreaks. news.northeastern.edu/2025/08/21/d...

Very interesting study on social contagion applied in a historical context by @szapperi.bsky.social and collaborators. Powerful example of where good historical data can lead us in the future. www.nature.com/articles/s41...

Read what is going on at NETSI. A lot of network science happened during the summer.

My new @science.org editorial on the role of scientists in defending democracy is out today. As authoritarianism takes hold in the US, we must fight for the democratic principles that enable a free society and scientists have a key role. I hope you'll join us. www.science.org/doi/10.1126/...
