New publication out, led by @massimost.bsky.social with @thomhills.bsky.social and others ! The last of a series of three studies in which we studied suicide ideation. On this one, we find anxiety as a key latent feature of suicidal psychology. Read more here: www.mdpi.com/2504-2289/9/...

Congrats @iterrucha.bsky.social 🙌🏼🙌🏼🙌🏼

People not only form social networks, they construct mental maps of them. People think about the ties between other people, including ties among individuals to whom they are not themselves directly connected. These “cognitive social networks” have rarely been studied. 1/

Now that the fever of NetSci is gone, just a kind reminder that we have our newest research out at Communications Physics, led by @miguelagoncas.bsky.social with @anxosanchez.bsky.social 🙌🏼🙌🏼

Just another weekend doing book therapy.

@nunetsi.bsky.social team at @netsciconf.bsky.social 🙌🏼🙌🏼

And this is was a wrap of the FRIENDS (signet-friends.github.io) satellite in its first edition at @netsciconf.bsky.social ! 60+ attended and engaged with the amazing lineup of speakers.

BRAN Lab + Friends 🙌🏼

1/8 How do networks of social relationships evolve over time? This evolution is driven by a complex interplay of cognitive, emotional, and social factors. It’s only natural to assume that such complexity would make this dynamics highly unpredictable. But…

FRIENDS satellite had just started! @signet-friends.bsky.social @asteixeira.bsky.social @miguelagoncas.bsky.social @fernandodiazdiaz.bsky.social @netsciconf.bsky.social

Packed room and still people coming for the FRIENDS (signet-friends.github.io) satellite at @netsciconf.bsky.social ! Thank you all 🙌🏼

🤯 Despite constant changes in friendships, social networks surprisingly tend towards a stable "equilibrium" over time! Our new paper led by @miguelagoncas.bsky.social with @asteixeira.bsky.social reveals predictable patterns in the overall social structure. #SocialNetworks #Equilibrium #Physics

So happy to see this published! Led by @miguelagoncas.bsky.social , with me and @anxosanchez.bsky.social , proving that the dynamical process driving the evolution of an empirical social network is stationary, and that the network itself is in dynamical equilibrium. www.nature.com/articles/s42...

🎙️ Tomorrow at the FRIENDS Satellite: Join us to hear Renaud Lambiotte exploring structural balance beyond the classical framework!

🎙️ Kicking off our FRIENDS Satellite tomorrow with an exciting keynote by Jana Diesner! Don’t miss this deep dive into her insights on how to use natural language processing to study signed networks — a perfect start to a day full of signed networks!

📢 Due to unforeseen circumstances, our keynote speaker Tiago P. Peixoto will unfortunately not be able to join us at the Friends Satellite. Stay tuned for updates and final details coming soon.

Come join us tomorrow afternoon (2nd June) at WiNS @ NetSci: the future of Network Science (Location: FPN Tongeren zaal)! Keynotes by @asteixeira.bsky.social and @katyborner.bsky.social, followed by lightining talks / posters from the WiNS community :)

If you are at #NetSci25, join us at 1pm for our @netplace.bsky.social panel on the topic of "Science as a craft: Balancing career and skill progression", with panelists @asteixeira.bsky.social, @maximelca.bsky.social and @captainkirk1041.bsky.social

Happy to join the morning discussions!

Another session I’m really looking forward to participating! See you there!

Super looking forward to seeing you in Maastricht next week! Join us for another edition of the FRIENDS satellite!

It will be a pleasure! See you in Maastricht!

Super happy to be part of the WiNS satellite! See you in Maastricht!

🚨 We’re thrilled to welcome Sergey Gavrilets (Uni of Tennessee) as our second invited speaker at #CCS2025! Sergey's work spans human origins, the evolution of social complexity and broader transdisciplinary topics. 📅 Submit an abstract by May 21 or join us on Sept 3: 🔗 amethystsatellite.weebly.com

This week at the Lake Como School of Complex Networks I’ll be giving a lecture about applications of Signed Networks in Computational Social Sciences. I’ll also present for the first time my freshly created lab! Thanks to the organizers (cc @ymoreno.bsky.social) for this exciting opportunity!

🚨 Just 1 week to go! Join us in London 🇬🇧 on May 16 for the NetPlace Workshop on Networks & Physics! Keynotes, collabathon, ERC-style pitches & more 🧠⚛️💥 🆓 Registration is free 💸 Travel/accommodation support available for those who register by Friday May 9 👉 netplace.site/event/netpla...

I have co-authored many papers but with this one I believe we are contributing a qualitative step ahead to understand social networks. Wouldn't have been possible were not for the true forces behind this work, @miguelagoncas.bsky.social and @asteixeira.bsky.social. Thank you so much!

A huge thank you to the @nunetsi.bsky.social for having me, for allowing me to share about my research and other unconventional paths and conversations. Such an amazing crowd. Bonus to watching the Celtics twice 🤍 See you soon, family in Boston!

Here it is an initiative that I believe it is fun and insightful for everyone. It was a good exercise going back on memory lane and recovering the experience of publishing one of my first interdisciplinary works with an amazing team. All young scholars at the time. Thank you for having me!

The team is growing 🙌🏼 I’m now hiring a Postdoc to join a collaborative effort to better understand the interplay between social environments, brain function, cognitive structures and mental health outcomes. We will evaluate on a rolling basis. northeastern.wd1.myworkdayjobs.com/GBR_NULondon...

Huge thanks to everyone in person and online for my talk at @nunetsi.bsky.social ! 🤍🙏🏼

Join us for two insightful talks this week with Andreia Sofia Teixeira and Dean Eckles! Don’t miss out on these engaging discussions, available in-person at our Institute or virtually via Zoom. Zoom link: northeastern.zoom.us/j/93421052481

Our work applying the local O-information to BOLD data was just accepted to a focus issue on Higher Order Brain Networks in JPhys Complexity! doi.org/10.1088/2632... Here’s a quick thread, which boils down to… timescale really matters when you’re talking about synergy and redundancy in the brain!

🚀 Thrilled to announce our second Keynote Speaker for the FRIENDS Satellite at NetSci 2025: Tiago P. Peixoto from IT:U! Join us on June 3rd as @tiago.skewed.de shares his expertise. See you there! @netsciconf.bsky.social #NetSci2025 #SignedNetworks
