🎓 Welcome to our new PhD cohort in Network Science! (top row, L→R) Nathalia, Miguel @msanchezc.bsky.social, Zhina (bottom row, L→R) Jiachen, Dima and Laura Wishing you an inspiring start to your journey—looking forward to all the ideas and discoveries ahead! 💡🌍

Ladies and Gentlemen, @ceu-dnds.bsky.social at @ccs2025.bsky.social #CCS2025

📢Take a breath, you have extra days to finish! Due to technical issues with @openreviewnet this week, we’ve extended all deadlines by 2 weeks. 🗓️New deadline for abstracts: Sept 19, 23:59 AoE 📷 More info: netscix2026.github.io @MLuczak @ProfMSmall @droneale @danielapaolotti

Animal interactions are not dyadic as usually modeled, so how relevant are higher-order relationships? The first part of #CRAB ends with Lorenzo Betti modelling biological behavior beyond pairwise interactions, uncovering higher-order structure within cohesive groups. #CCS2025

Proc. R. Soc. B: Dispersed female networks: female gorillas’ inter-group relationships influence dispersal decisions https://royalsocietypublishing.org/doi/abs/10.1098/rspb.2025.0223?af=R

So happy to see my first PhD paper out royalsocietypublishing.org/doi/10.1098/... With my amazing supervisor @robinmorrison.bsky.social and the @savinggorillas.bsky.social, we examined female dispersal decisions in mountain gorillas.

Ethics in Complex Systems: A one-day workshop at the University of Zurich ethics.dsi.uzh.ch/project/ethi...

🎥 All keynote talks from IC²S² ‘25 are now available on our YouTube channel! #ic2s2 #css

All the keynote recordings are available now, enjoy! www.youtube.com/playlist?lis...

DNDS at #IC2S2 2025 in Sweden A strong presence at the top conference in computational social science! 10+ talks and posters by current & former members on networks, behavior, inequality and digital society. #WeAreCEU #NetworkScience #SocialDataScience #SeeUatCEU

Prediction and explanation, together. Duncan Watts opened our final day with a keynote on “Integrating explanation and prediction in computational social science,” showing how pairing causal insight with predictive testing can push computational social science forward. #ic2s2

Seeing talk titles at #ic2s2 I can't be the only one, when reading LLM or AI, having to react with "oh, yet another one 🙄"? No disrespect to colleague's work, but the topic feels overhyped.. Not *everything* needs an LLM angle. #grinchmoment

Interested in the relationships between team dynamics, leadership dynamics, and success? I’ll be presenting my poster today at #ic2s2 (poster #82).

Attending #ic2s2? My poster is up today!

👀 I’ll be presenting this work this week at @ic2s2.bsky.social (Thu, 11:00 AM · Social Media & Networks). If you’re there & interested, let’s connect! #IC2S2 N/N

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/
