Yeah I think we're on the same page we're just seeking the perfectly catch one-liners that's all the rage these days XD

Interesting notion, though I'm not sure I agree. Complex systems have to be more than the sum of their parts because their mechanisms are not reducible to without said parts. In your line of thought I'd say that *complexity* is the difference between the complex system and the sumenof its parts

Well I can tell you that whatever role the bottom right person plays after the top figure's death is the main contention point that caused the sunni-shia division among muslims.

‘Don’t go to the US – not with Trump in charge’: the UK tourist with a valid visa detained by ICE for six weeks Karen Newton was in America on the trip of a lifetime when she was shackled, transported and held for weeks on end.

We have an amazing panel ready for you at NetSciX in Auckland!

Three New Preprints Published on arXiv We are glad to share that our group’s researchers have recently published three new preprints on arXiv, showcasing advances in network analysis and population-scale social systems.Link Fraction Mixed ...

Three new preprints from our group are now live on arXiv!

We explore community mixed membership in aggregated networks, fragmentation in a population-scale social network of the Netherlands, and how social capital shapes economic mobility.

Thank you for the great event! Can't wait to see what you have lined up next👀

On Monday I was at @internetarchive.eu in Amsterdam for @jwyg.bsky.social talk about his new book, Public Data Cultures. Instant purchase!

If they exist then I haven't met them. I say this as a person surrounded by "normies."

I fail to see the bad news... One less slop-book to saturate the medium sounds like a win

@elisecutts.bsky.social spotted!

Peer review science relies, more than we care to admit, on what @zey.bsky.social calls "load bearing frictions" that make it difficult to fake good science, and on trust that most ppl also value science itself & won't cheat just for personal gain. This creates the wrong environment for that to hold.

Read the full transcript of Carney’s speech to World Economic Forum - National | Globalnews.ca Prime Minister Mark Carney gave a forceful speech in Davos, Switzerland, on the 'new world order' and how middle powers like Canada can benefit by working together.

A must-read, in my opinion

That's a very big if lol
Hopefully your ETA isn't *more* than 14hr right now😂

These people are losing their thought agency to just act as envoy for LLMs... "Second AI opinion" pffft

Eleven killed at Hanukkah celebration at Sydney's Bondi Beach Australian Prime Minister Anthony Albanese brands attack on Jewish worshippers act of antisemitism and terrorism

Any attack targeted at people just because they are Jewish is as barbaric and evil as any attack on people just because they are Palestinian, or whatever other nationality. I will not accept any justification or relativization for this horrifying act of antisemitism in my mentions. Evil, period.

Can people organizing academic conferences in the US please get a grip?

Upcoming International Workshop on Population-Scale Social Network research We are excited to announce that our team will be hosting an international workshop on population-scale social network research in December 2025. This invitation-only event is a follow-up to a previous...

One week to go! Next week we’re hosting an international workshop in Amsterdam on Population-Scale Social Network Analysis. Leading teams from five different countries will join us to share new insights and explore future collaborations. Learn more:

Earlier this year, we had the pleasure of participating in the NetSci 2025 conference in Maastricht.
Our team shared exciting new research across topics from social network dynamics to mobility, privacy, and community structure. We even brought home two awards!

It’s almost like if people tell you that to win you have to turn your back on poor people, or Muslims, or trans people, or immigrants, you can just say, “no, that’s immoral, we’re not doing that,” and keep doing good old fashioned organizing and campaigning and things will be ok

Proud member of this great team! Stay tuned for more updates on our work soon👀

arXiv will no longer accept review articles and position papers unless they have been accepted at a journal or a conference and complete successful peer review.

This is due to being overwhelmed by a hundreds of AI generated papers a month.

Yet another open submission process killed by LLMs.

My experience has been weirdly the opposite. Statistical variance maybe🤷‍♀️

I am deeply honored to be awarded the Lagrange Prize 🏆, the premier award in the field of Complex Systems.

I'd like to share this moment with all my current and past students, research team members, and collaborators over the years.

Thank you CRT Foundation & @isi.it for this honor

Trust is not limited to familiar contacts. Depending on the setting, it can be purely cultural/societal. The social contract is as good as it gets in how it's codified

Great for us Egyptians to be an inspiration for world leaders again! Who knew well-oiled dictatorships were in such high demand?

Omar won! He won! 🤩 So wonderful!
