Continuing our network visualization series.
Research has long focused on a few related disordersโbut genetics now reveals links across nearly all diseases. The HDN, developed by @barabasi.bsky.social maps genetic connections between disorders, offering a genome-wide roadmap for future discoveries.
Letโs warm up your appetite for the beauty of networks! ๐
Leading up to #NetSci2026, weโll share iconic visualizations that reveal just how interconnected our world is. Consider this your visual warm-up before the conference! ๐
Come join us in Boston this summer!
It's the 20-year anniversary of one of my absolute favorite conferences โย we'll be planning some exciting events/discussions to celebrate how far this field has come and where it might go next.

* Decoupling geographical constraints from human mobility *
๐๐ถ How much of our movement is about human choice and how much is constrained by geography and the spatial layout of locations?
Our paper (out in Nature Human Behavior) gives you a practical way to tell:

I've gotten some new followers so I thought I'd introduce myself.
Iโm a 5th-year PhD candidate in network science with an applied math background, working with @barabasi.bsky.social. I study complex systems and love being the "math guy" on interdisciplinary problems. Check out my site or say hi!

OMFG.
One of the surveys being cut by DOGE is the BJSโs Survey of Inmates in Jails.
Jails are simultaneously HUGELY important and preposterously UNDER-STUDIED.
And this will just make it so so SO much harder to study them.
Arguably, jails are more consequential than prisons:
