“This is about modelling emergence, multiscale causality, collective behaviour..
this is not a side quest, it’s the core challenge of complex systems”.

Our first keynote @marilyngatica.bsky.social opening TopoNets @netsciconf.bsky.social with higher-order interactions for neuroscience

Our own @marilyngatica.bsky.social opening Toponets @netsciconf.bsky.social.

Really great overview of evidence for higher-order effects in the brain.

What do the predictability limits of epidemics have to do with limits on our us of AI study biology?

Tomorrow at 9am in Indore (1030pm today in Boston), I'm going to try and connect these dots during my #netscix2025 keynote lecture.

#NetSciX2025 Day 2 keynote speaker Sam Scarpino discusses fundamental epistemic challenges and prediction limit in complex systems modeling

Prof Petri speaking with raised hand.

Our ability to identify mechanisms in higher-order systems is dependent on the observation scale (which depends on the network and dynamical model).

Let me take this opportunity to thank all of my collaborators throughout the years, my lab
@nplab.bsky.social, as well as the mentors that inspired, pushed, and --very useful!-- criticized me along the way!
Stay tuned for hiring announcements in the next few months!

I am extremely honoured to receive the @ERC_Research
#ERCCoG award for #RUNES. For the next five years, I will be working on the mathematical, computational, and experimental (!!) sides to understand how higher-order interactions change how we think and coordinate.

Congratulations to Giovanni Petri @lordgrilo.bsky.social on being awarded the prestigious #ERCCoG for the project "Reconstruction and Unification of Neural and Ecological Systems" #RUNES! This nearly €2M grant will support in the next 5 yrs. his groundbreaking research on higher-order interactions.
