Can't wait to be back at @complexity72h.bsky.social, let the sleepless nights come :D #Complexity72h

Someone should write this black on white the day after H-index and impact factors started to drive decision-making processes in many scientific fields. Now the community behind the Complex Systems Society writes it and calls for similar initiatives.

How to choose a research question? "Try to first see the forest from the trees, and then focus on those trees that you find important. If you feel that some trees or entire forests are missing, you have a research question! Great advice to early career researchers jarisaramaki.fi/2025/01/29/h...

This is amazing! A wonderfully interactive way of demonstrating how you can be manipulated using visualizations! Will definitely share this with my students!

๐Ÿšจ #IC2S2โ€™25 Call for Abstract deadline is just around the cornerโ€”Feb 24, 2025 Submit your abstract now: www.ic2s2-2025.org/submit-abstr... and join us in Norrkรถping, Sweden. Tutorials announcement coming soon!

Moment of levity away from the news, in case anyone needs itโ€ฆ I joke that the parakeets I study sometimes plot how to ruin my research: I now have photographic proof! My evil birds are actively disassembling their flight cage - unscrewing screws & then flying around showing off their souvenirs ๐Ÿงช๐Ÿชถ

Have #computational modeling skills & an interest in understanding how ecosystems respond to climate stress? #FundedPhD for you at IceLab with @grocherros.bsky.social, Ryan Sponseller and @mrosvall.bsky.social Apply by Feb 16 www.umu.se/en/work-with... #climate #complex #phdsky #carbon #ecosky

Indeed, democracy needs online platforms purposely built to foster communication and cooperation, not to maximise attention-grabbing engagement and ad-generated revenue!

17-year-long Scottish study of 82,000+ adults finds commuting by bike reduces your risk of: โ€ข early death โ€ข hospitalisation for any reason โ€ข cardiovascular disease โ€ข cancer mortality โ€ข treatment for mental health problems. Yeah, but those LTNs and bike lanes are *really* annoying.

This is a postgraduate research experience on data science / network science / AI for positive social impact. Weโ€™ve been running it at @isi.it for almost a decade and it has contributed to weaving a large network of collaborations across academia, industry, nonprofits, NGOs. #data4good #dataforgood

Excellent opportunity for fun, learning and networking, highly recommended!

The call for our 10th edition is open ๐Ÿ™ƒ! We trained almost 400 young researchers so far ๐Ÿง‘โ€๐Ÿ”ฌ Can you miss one week of network science with leading network scientists in the field? In the beautiful island of Ortigia (Sicily)? Hurry up! Only 60 seats available, deadline 11/02/25

โ€œWe donโ€™t value software, data, and methods in the same way we value papers, even though those resources empower millions of scientistsโ€ ๐Ÿ’ฏ www.statnews.com/sponsor/2024...

This is very exciting! Google has released a revolutionary population dynamics foundation model and dataset for geospatial inference. Has a range of applications: health, socioeconomic and environmental issues. Sharing the link for you to judge! shorturl.at/S8txC Tell me about any uses ๐Ÿ‘‡

Want to contribute and help lead our community? NetSci 2025 is soliciting applications to its program committee! We especially encourage early career researchers to apply. forms.gle/98rhcJeoVVZG...

We are hiring a postdoc/researcher at my group (SUNLab) @nunetsi.bsky.social. Interested in working on multidisciplinary problems like segregation, health, or economic growth from the perspective of Social Urban Networks? Contact me if you are interested. Please share it!

Hereโ€™s a directory of starter packs in case you are looking for specific communities to follow and be part of. What a wonderful platform and organization. blueskydirectory.com/starter-pack...

Let's see if we can hold two ideas simultaneously: 1. Science is of course "neither red nor blue." It's about understanding nature, not partisan agendas. 2. Science is of course "political." Politics is how we make collective decisions, including concerning science. www.science.org/doi/10.1126/...

Ready for another Computational Social Science Starter Pack? Here is number 2! More amazing folks to follow! Many students and the next gen represented! go.bsky.app/GoEyD7d

It's great to see the massive wave of people coming to ๐Ÿฆ‹. Here's my first stab at a Computational Social Science starter pack: go.bsky.app/2m6iQ68 Go check out similar lists to bootstrap your network: bsky.app/starter-pack... bsky.app/starter-pack... Wonder if these lists could be merged somehow..

The BlueSky team created a great tool to help newcomers: starter packs. Here a quick starter pack for #complexity and network scientists + feeds to quickly join the community! #NetSky Please, help to share (and if you are not in the list, get in touch and I will add you) go.bsky.app/KMfiTU2

I am beyond excited to announce that applications are now open for the second Amsterdam Complexity School on Climate Change! Come visit a beautiful city, hear from world-renowned experts, and work with passionate individuals on challenges related to climate change. More info: acscc.nl
