Will this be recorded? Would love to join online but have something else at the time.

Amazing, thank you so much! And thanks for such an awesome network tool.

I was using graph-tool (it's fabulous btw!) in Colab a month or so ago and it worked perfectly, but it now is complaining at the part "from graph_tool.all import *" saying "ModuleNotFoundError: No module named 'graph_tool'"...is there something that hasn't yet been updated in Colab? Thanks!

This is a great write-up of a brilliant paper! :)

Delighted @jajmca.bsky.social's abstract was accepted for COSYNE 2025, for his work on linking neural circuit structure to function via drosophila-connectome-based reservoir computing. With @conjh.bsky.social, John Wade and myself.

A game which happens to be all about network interactions! ☺️

It looks like a perfect character for one of my favourite childhood games!

I wouldn't have thought to work out the probability (either as a frequentist or Bayesian) of being Rick rolled by the first footnote!! πŸ˜‚
