Channel your excitement about network science to engage and educate the public! The deadline for our annual educational video competition is two weeks away. bit.ly/nss-videos

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

It was a great pleasure to chair the 7th edition of the Complex Systems for the Most Vulnerable #CCS2025 satellite: a huge thank you to all our brilliant speakers (both invited and contributed!) for sharing their work and making it such a success!

Proud supervisor moment: full room today for @claraeminente.bsky.social's presentation at the #CCS2025 Computational Social Science satellite on the role of social circles and social media on the perception of racial minorities. No preprint yet (work in progress), but come talk to us if interested!

It's always a pleasure to participate in the Computational Social Science satellite at @css-conference.bsky.social, thanks for having me! Btw, interested in the role of science in climate change discussions on Reddit? Check out our paper: doi.org/10.1371/jour... #CCS2025

Are digital traces giving us a biased view of polarization? 🤔 New paper by Yijing Chen, @elisaomodei.bsky.social & co-authors shows that APIs capturing only visible engagement (💬 YouTube comments) may suggest stronger segregation than less visible forms (▶️ views). 🔗 bit.ly/3JAp2Fz

New paper co-authored by @elisaomodei.bsky.social explores how combining complexity science & transdisciplinary approaches can foster learning & action for sustainability 🌍✨ Published in Humanities & Social Sciences Comms (Nature) bit.ly/41qVGzp
