Demand the full suspension of the EU-Israel Association Agreement in view of Israel’s violations of human rights

Networks are #complex and their dynamics often look chaotic. But we can reconstruct latent spaces where their behavior becomes strikingly regular, revealing functional organization across biology, society and technology.

Kudos to Andrea, @dzanc.bsky.social & Sebastiano!

Allarme università: è ora di mobilitarsi Sono molto grato a Roars per la pubblicazione di questo mio intervento, che va inteso come un segnale di allarme rivolto a tutta la comunità universitaria italiana. I processi che avevo tratteggiato i...

I thought it was a cosmic bird or something at first glance

🚨 New paper from @comunelab.bsky.social !

We review the latent geometry emerging from network-driven processes, with an eye to network functionality and applications from biological systems to infrastructures.

Short 🧵 1/

Thrilled for the latest work from @comunelab.bsky.social !

We introduce a multilayer + multiscale model in two distinct frameworks (particle- & force-based), identifying how to balance contact and mobility cuts to mitigate epidemics. #ComplexSystems

Can confirm that my NSF grant "How False Beliefs Form & How to Correct Them" was cancelled today because it is "not in alignment with current NSF priorities" Shocking that understanding how people are misled by false information is now a forbidden topic. Our work will continue but at a smaller scale

Latest #ComplexityThoughts just out: Issue #57

Network reconstruction (well done), a special about #fungi, #evolution and #Neuroscience this week 🍄🧠🧬🦠🧫🧪🌐

Podcast available on Spotify and Apple as usual.

Enjoy and have a nice weekend with #ComplexSystems!

delta tau_i = ( x_i - m_i ) / epsilon * phi * m_i

2. There's the silly: after being mocked for setting tariffs to trade deficit / exports, the White House retorted that they didn't do that at all – they used this fancy formula. 

How convenient that the two fitted parameters, ε=4 and φ=0.25 multiply to 1, leaving...yes, trade deficit / exports.

Yeah, that's Griffiths phase: link.aps.org/doi/10.1103/...

🚀 New research alert! 🚀

Led by @gbarzon.bsky.social, @giorgionicoletti.bsky.social and Daniel Maria Busiello, our latest work in Physical Review Letters (journals.aps.org/prl/abstract...) reveals how excitation-inhibition balance tunes the timescale of information coding in neuronal populations! 🧠🔬

The first Young Biophysicists Meeting will be held on the coming Monday (March 3rd) from 11am - 12pm EST. We have four exciting talks lined up for you, see you all soon! Find out more : shorturl.at/4oKNe

Emergence of ecological structure and species rarity from fluctuating metabolic strategies Ecosystems often demonstrate the coexistence of numerous species competing for limited resources, with pronounced rarity and abundance patterns. A potential driver of such coexistence is environmental...

We show how consumer-resource communities with colored-noise fluctuations violate the competitive exclusion principle and give rise to realistic ecological structures
