How complex should network models be?
🚨 In our latest paper we quantify (if and) when higher-order interactions are informative versus reducible to pairwise structure without losing functional signal (e.g., diffusion behavior).

New 𝗡𝗮𝘁𝘂𝗿𝗲 study by @barabasi.bsky.social & colleagues reveals a new organizing principle for 3D physical networks. From blood vessels to neurons, these systems evolve by minimizing surface area, explaining brain and vascular architecture & predicting neuronal sprouting.

I'm on the job market! I graduate with my PhD in network science this April, seeking a postdoc in Atlanta or remote. I work on theoretical and data-driven problems under Albert-László Barabási. I love being the "math guy" on interdisciplinary teams. Want help studying networks? Please reach out!

Paper out today in @nathumbehav.nature.com:
1) those groups (women, African Americans, lower SES, rural) that are underrepresented in science have been less trusting of science.
2) If you improve representation in science, you improve trust among those groups.

10/10
Bonus Guitar Solo!
Meditation (Live in America) - Cory Wong
This solo is one of the best guitar solos of all time. Nearly 20 minutes of perfection. From acoustic to electric, it’s stunning. I could talk for hours about this.
9/10
Bonus Single!
Where Is My Husband - RAYE
I’m notoriously an album snob. I love an album listened to from front to back without having heard the singles previously. But this song may be my favorite of the year. The production, the writing, the horns. No notes.
8/10
Meet Me After Practice - Boys Go To Jupiter
An emerging band from NYC, their debut album is magnificent. It is so danceable and unexpected. Full credit to YouTube Music who fed me an old EP one day that led me down a rabbit hole. From Wall St to Lovers Always Lose, this album is just fun.
7/10
The Light for Days - Jacob Collier
When Jacob announced his 5 string guitar a few years back I had mixed feelings. It felt unnecessary. But this album proved me wrong. Written and recorded in 4 days (🤯) it’s a beautiful mix of covers and originals showcasing his new instrument.
6/10
The Art of Loving - Olivia Dean
I’m proud to say I discovered Olivia Dean with Messy and have been waiting for this album for a while. But it is masterful and it’s no wonder she has blown up in the past two months. The whole album gives off a perfect old school/new school pop blend.
5/10
Maybe Happy Ending - Original Broadway Cast
The jazz center broadway music was always going to win me over. I first listened to it on a day long drive and frankly didn’t expect much. It was the last Tony nominee on my list. But it was the one that stayed on repeat.
4/10
Clarity of Cal - Vulfpeck
What a concept. Recorded live over eight shows. That’s eight takes to get it perfect. I waited 4 months to listen to this album so my first listen was on vinyl and let me tell you, New Beastly hits different without streaming compression.
3/10
Returning to Myself - Brandi Carlile
Some of the best songwriting of the year hands down. Honest lyrics. Singing from her soul. You can feel the Joni Mitchell influences in a such profound way. Check out her recent tiny desk featuring songs from the album.
2/10
Time for my non-science post of the year…my top six albums curated by me not Spotify. Not in any particular order. Plus a bonus single and guitar solo for good measure.
🧵1/10
Some really interesting "composition networks" showing musical transitions through a song by Niccolo di Marco, @walter4c.bsky.social and others. I love how Autumn Leaves is so much denser than everything else. arxiv.org/pdf/2501.07557

11/10 opinion video by @jackconte.bsky.social. We need more human centric scientific thinking. An excellent explanation of how we should be thinking about the next step in algorithm development and even big data research www.nytimes.com/2025/11/19/o...

Really fascinating application of network epidemiology to understand historical phenomena. It's such a creative way to combine quantitative tools with historical records and link rumor spread with infectious disease.

Someone at a conference asked me what new dataset I am most excited about. This is it.

Hard to believe that the first chapter of my dissertation came out a year ago. We investigated link entanglement in physical networks and found some interesting connections between the network's structure and it's ability to entangle itself.
