If I go to the UK and an old colleague at university recognises me does that make me a internationally-recognised scholar?

Great new lineup of analytical & computational sociology speakers, with Zoom link available to anyone.

Yes, I love networks, and yes, I am a tea addict.

That moment at a conference when you’re being reduced to your data

don’t these look pretty? when I did my MSc at @iasliu.bsky.social’s then-just-begun CSS program many of these early graduates were our (very friendly and patient) TAs. Nice to see what they were up to beyond dealing with us, and the pool of graduates from IAS growing.

You feed it (with some data and a script), return the next day and wonder why it was killed.

At least one insight today. That counts!
