Join us as we celebrate 20 years of NetSci!
Congratulations to Dr. Rafael Prieto-Curiel, winner of the Junior Scientific Award 2025, for his contributions to complex systems research through innovative mathematical modelling of social phenomena๐
Brennan Klein is interested in developing tools and theory for characterizing dynamics, structure, and scale in networks, but also in creating and analyzing large-scale datasets that reveal inequalities in the U.S., from epidemics to mass incarceration. #ComplexNetworks2025
How does social network structure amplify or stifle behavior diffusion? Turns out, complex contagions are more complicated than we thought โฆ (1/7)
My new paper with @criedl.bsky.social and @davidlazer.bsky.social!
Kicking off the machine learning session, @moritzlaber.bsky.social studies how incorporating prior knowledge about network dynamical systems into neural ODEs influences sample efficiency, as well as the correlation between network structure and performance.

The "Paper Unwind" series returned to #NetSI with a session led by @asteixeira.bsky.social sharing the backstory of one of her papers. Started by @moritzlaber.bsky.social the series brings the untold story of how research papers come to life.

Please I can't take more stock fluctuation graphs where the horizontal axis is just the last week and the vertical axis starts at like 5,500 and goes up to 5,700
Bad graphs can't be the best way to make your point
Why does it feel like despite all the news and reporting we consume as a population, we rarely have any actual information about what is going on? We might have some answersโฆ ๐งต

Other academics: do you ever sneak easter eggs into your published papers? (particular words, phrasings, things in images or plots, references, etc.) If so, what are some of your personal favorites?
(I don't do it with every paper, but gosh, it's a fun part of being a professional scientist!)
