Yuliia standing at a podium in front of a projector screen as she presents her work to an auditorium.
We attended the #NetSciX2026 Conference at the University of Auckland in New Zealand last week! Yuliia presented her work on "How Social Ties Mobilize and Polarize: Social Network Determinants of Election Outcomes."
Not everyone was around when we scrambled together a photo of #NetSciX2026 attendees, but we managed to find a fair share of people during the coffee break. What a privilege it was to host this community here in Aotearoa New Zealand.

It's the last day of #NetSciX2026. Thanks to this wonderful group of people from around the world for joining us in Tāmaki Makaurau to understand the weaving of the world through network science 🌐
Afternoon keynote on day 3 at #NetSciX2026 by Yukie Sano covering a breadth of work on dynamics of collective attention and memory online
It me! This was so much fun, and such a huge honour. #NetSciX2026 is fantastic.

A great privilege to give my first conference talk at #NetSciX2026 in Auckland on some ongoing work with Adelaide (Daisy) Abraham on social compensation strategies when individuals are removed from real-world animal social networks.
Science of science thematic session at #NetSciX2026 kicking off with a talk by @kylehigham.bsky.social about work on research-policy ecosystems supported by @tepunahamatatini.bsky.social
@rschifan.bsky.social speaking about studies to promote exposure to urban green at #NetSciX2026 in beautifully green Auckland. Important work showing accessibility indices for various cities and policy targets.
In the session "Spreading Dynamics and Polarization" at #NetSciX2026, Hassan Mustafa just presented a recent extension of some of his work he has published before in his PhD thesis openaccess.wgtn.ac.nz/articles/the... and in academic.oup.com/anncom/artic...
Day 2 of #NetSciX2026 and the weather is no worse than yesterday. We're kicking off the main conference programme this morning with an exciting keynote talk by @eliassi.bsky.social on hypergraphs.
Michael Small opens day two of NetSciX 2026
And we're off with day two of #NetSciX2026 in Tāmaki Makaurau!
Ingo Sholtes delivers a lecture at NetSciX 2026
#NetSciX2026 kicked off yesterday with a network science school day, deep diving into meso-scale organisation of networks, Indigenous data sovereignty, ecological networks, and a gentle introduction to deep graph learning for network scientists from Ingo Sholtes (pictured) 🤷♂️
At the end of the school day, we are kicking off the main #NetSciX2026 conference with a panel discussion on the stress field between isolation and belonging in network science, organized by the @netplace.bsky.social community.

Beautiful morning for the start of NetSciX 2026 in Auckland! Looking forward to giving a talk tomorrow and meeting fellow network scientists #netsciX2026

The first day of the NetSciX conference is always the network science school day. If you want to know what our school speakers are going to talk about, have a look at the abstracts of their talks: netscix2026.github.io#abstracts #NetSciX2026
We're off for #NetSciX2026 in Auckland. Starting the network science school day with Eduardo Altmann on meso-scale structures.
The whole team is in Auckland for #NetSciX2026 :)
Our 4th presentation is Applicability of the Minimal Dominating Set for Influence Maximisation in Multilayer Networks by Czuba M, Jia M, Musial K, Bródka P

"A data table comparing empirical urban scaling exponents to the Information Energy Maximization (IEM) model. Using the connectivity tax constant ks = 0.22, the model predicts an infrastructure exponent of 1.22, showing a 0.00 deviation from PNAS Nexus empirical data for the 1.22 urban limit. It also aligns with Kleiber’s Law (0.75) for biological metabolic scaling."
Verification of the 1.22 Urban Scaling limit using Information Energy Maximization (IEM). Results show 0.00 deviation from PNAS Nexus data using constant \bm{k_s = 0.22}.

Absolutely thrilled about the submission numbers to #NetSciX2026. Abstract submission is now closed and we enter the review period. But here's the thing: you can still contribute to the conference by proposing a thematic session. docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1F...
The week after the #NetSciX2026 conference in Auckland you can attend the Capital City Complex Systems Symposium in Wellington www.tepunahamatatini.ac.nz/symposium/. A trip down the length of the North Island & hear from another amazing lineup of keynote speakers, including @carlbergstrom.com 3/3
@tepunahamatatini.bsky.social is spearheading unique values-based approach to complex systems research (www.kindnessinscience.org) & will bring that to #NetSciX2026 conference for interesting conversations related to cssociety.org/about/manife... /cc @yrcss.bsky.social @cssociety.bsky.social 2/n
