The flagship conference of the Network Science Society - 𝗡𝗲𝘁𝗦𝗰𝗶 𝟮𝟬𝟮𝟲 - is coming to Northeastern University’s Network Science Institute, 𝗝𝘂𝗻𝗲 𝟭-𝟱, 𝟮𝟬𝟮𝟲.
Prepare to share ideas, discoveries & challenges in network science.

Registration opens soon! 🔗 www.netsci2026.com

🚨 Excited to share a new paper 📃, years in the making, with Zach Wood.

We propose that human evolution is characterized as an Evolutionary Transition in Inheritance and Individuality (ETII).

Explainer and OA paper below:

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

🚀 Now accepting applications for the new MS in Complex Network Analysis at Northeastern!

Study real-world systems—social, financial, biological, public health—using cutting-edge network science tools.

📅 Live Webinars (starting April-May): shorturl.at/xrory

🔥 Hey NetPals! This week, we're excited to welcome William Thompson from the University of Vermont, who will talk about stochastic opinion dynamic models and share insights into finding (or not finding) your niche as a researcher.

📅 When: 17th Apr (tomorrow), 4pm UK time

Zoom: netplace.site

Networks, snow, tea, hot wine, science in an old monastery, friends in beautiful Québec City... What's not to love?!

We're looking for new friends and participants for the Complex Network Winter Workshop (CNWW) 2025. Follow the post for details and application link.

🚨 New paper on ArXiv:

“Uncertainty quantification and posterior sampling for network reconstruction”

TL;DR; We present an efficient method to sample the entire ensemble of possible network reconstructions that are compatible with an indirect observation, e.g. a dynamics.

Short thread: 1/N

Excited!!

Missed the NetSci deadline? No problem! Submit your work to the SINM Satellite at NetSci 2025! We have an amazing lineup of speakers so far, including Michael Schaub, Vince Lyzinski, and @gcant.bsky.social. Revised deadline is Feb 20. See sinm.network for details.

He does

Very satisfying. Congrats!!

1st post on bsky - about bsky! I was fascinated with academic starter packs and made an interactive network to see academic communities and how they connect - a map of knowledge! link to an interactive & searchable network: ketikagarg.github.io/blueSkyAcade...

We are thrilled to announce the merger of two key organizations supporting early-career researchers in network science: SYNS (Society of Young Network Scientists) and NetPLACE (Networks, PhD Life, and Complexity). Together, we are now NetPlace!

PANINIpy: Package of Algorithms for Nonparametric Inference with Networks In Python Kirkley et al., (2024). PANINIpy: Package of Algorithms for Nonparametric Inference with Networks In Python. Journal of Open Source Software, 9(103), 7312, https://doi.org/10.21105/joss.07312

Excited to announce PANINIpy, a package for nonparametric inference with networks in Python! We go beyond community detection and network reconstruction to "MDL-ify" a range of unsupervised learning problems on graph data. Actively seeking contributions to new modules! joss.theoj.org/papers/10.21...

Or like, “community building”

Bluesky is emerging as the new platform for science - Mike Young Academy Scientific Twitter is about to find its true successor. And it is not X. This, our latest release, shows that the Bluesky network of scientists is growing — and growing.

Bluesky tip for newbies: Bluesky has no real algorithm. Likes here do nothing but show the poster that you enjoyed their content.

That kindness is always going to be appreciated by creators, but if you want to help to boost something here, you have to repost it so others see it. 🙂

We're hiring a postdoc in the &-Lab at Northeastern's Network Science Institute!

Looking for a curious, collaborative scholar to work on computational social science questions, at the intersection of data justice + network science.
