CNWW is back at the Monastery Dec 17-22 2023! #CNWW23 is a celebration with no participation fees for selected participants as we blur the lines between faculty and the new generation of network scientists. Apply: forms.gle/KcDoAqbftKm1QA… Details: vermontcomplexsystems.org/events/cnww/

Do you think the normal distribution would be less popular if it weren't called that?

(About 3 years too late but) Idea for modeling blame in bluffing games: SIS model Sus->Innocent->Sus

Introducing our recruitment leaders for MAPPING@Brown! When you see MPH students Julia & Maria around SPH this week, say hi & ask them about how you can make an important contribution to research just by downloading an app!

Data collection has begun! But its not too late to join the study! Check out this article for a perspective on this groundbreaking research, how we got here, and where we are going: brown.edu/news/2023-11-0…

We are extending the abstract submission deadline to Jan 22nd. That's ten extra days! Our resolution for 2024 is to best serve the network science community. And that starts with making sure everyone can submit their projects in their best possible state.

Good news: Submissions have poured in! We will be preparing for reviews over the next few days. Great news: The platform remains open for submission until reviews start. Late submissions will be accepted until the end of Jan 29 anywhere on Earth! netsci2024.com/en/participate…

After years of work, we (w/ @simonchauchard) are releasing our new tool to collect WhatsApp data at scale! Introducing WhatsApp Explorer, a tool to collect data in a privacy preserving, opt-in, legal and practical way paper: osf.io/k6qv5 whatsapp.whats-viral.me 🧵👇
