The World Bank’s new data catalog provides access to over 3,000 datasets and 14,000 indicators and includes microdata, time series statistics, and geospatial data. medium.com/world-of-oppor…

This has the potential to become a great tool. #Science #DataScience #data toolbox.google.com/datasetsearch

Great example of the long and geographic memory of culture

We just uploaded a preprint to arXiv where we show how scaling exponents in cities arise from the fractal geometry of their roads and population. arxiv.org/abs/1908.07470

Dear Graham Medley Government Office for Science, before your “findings/insights” become policies, you should avoid blindly trusting your self-reviewed models (to the point of recommending psychopathic policies) & instead you should think hard about the assumptions your models make

With 170+ UK-based scientists, and supported by 20+ eminent colleagues from abroad, we prepared this statement COVID-19 measures in UK. Please share if you agree and contact Enzo KatolaZ Nicosia to add your name (scientists). List of signatories here: maths.qmul.ac.uk/~vnicosia/UK_s…

I am happy to say that the study on the fractal reasoning behind urban scaling laws is now published and available to anyone curious about it. royalsocietypublishing.org/doi/full/10.10…

It's been a long time since I publish. I hope you find it interesting. frontiersin.org/articles/10.33…
