Congratulations to Dr. Rafael Prieto-Curiel, winner of the Junior Scientific Award 2025, for his contributions to complex systems research through innovative mathematical modelling of social phenomena🎉

Brennan Klein is interested in developing tools and theory for characterizing dynamics, structure, and scale in networks, but also in creating and analyzing large-scale datasets that reveal inequalities in the U.S., from epidemics to mass incarceration. #ComplexNetworks2025

How does social network structure amplify or stifle behavior diffusion? Turns out, complex contagions are more complicated than we thought … (1/7)

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

Kicking off the machine learning session, @moritzlaber.bsky.social studies how incorporating prior knowledge about network dynamical systems into neural ODEs influences sample efficiency, as well as the correlation between network structure and performance.

I’m happy to share that our visualisation “Cities Moving” has been shortlisted for an Information is Beautiful Award!

Our goal was to make global mobility data comparable and visually engaging with the ABC model.

Here is the project 🚶🚴🚌🚗 citiesmoving.com

Please I can't take more stock fluctuation graphs where the horizontal axis is just the last week and the vertical axis starts at like 5,500 and goes up to 5,700

Bad graphs can't be the best way to make your point

Why does it feel like despite all the news and reporting we consume as a population, we rarely have any actual information about what is going on? We might have some answers… 🧵

Writing is thinking.

It’s not a part of the process that can be skipped; it’s the entire point.

Surviving the complexity winter Complexity science in 2024: claiming to be what it has never been, but gladly giving away its Nobel prize. This is a reflection about where the science of complex systems stands today, and where it…

When you least expected it! A new blog post.

Happy to see this community growing. 🎉 Hoping to see even more #networkscience and #complexsystems posts here in the future.

Other academics: do you ever sneak easter eggs into your published papers? (particular words, phrasings, things in images or plots, references, etc.) If so, what are some of your personal favorites?

(I don't do it with every paper, but gosh, it's a fun part of being a professional scientist!)

"The practical risks of AI are not that they become super capable thinking machines. It is building complex systems around machines we falsely assume are capable of greater discernment and logic than they possess."
