To mark the 20th anniversary of landmark NetSci papers, I am thrilled to announce a very special issue of the Proceedings of Royal Society A: a Generation of Network Science. #NetSci2019 Please RT and contribute! royalsocietypublishing.org/rspa/network-s…

"Interacting contagions are indistinguishable from social reinforcement" Hot off the Roboctopress! New paper from Laurent Hébert-Dufresne Sam Scarpino Jean-Gabriel Young arxiv.org/abs/1906.01147

Consistency and differences between centrality measures across distinct classes of networks “correlations between 17 different centrality measures across 212 diverse real-world networks” journals.plos.org/plosone/articl…

Excited to present, "Multiscale eco-evolutionary dynamics of biological networks" at #LANET2019 in beautiful Cartagena. I'm trying to integrate work across empirical gene networks w/ new theory on the evolution of gene interactions. Network Science Institute @LaNet_2019 lanet2019.uniandes.edu.co

"Chimera States and Seizures in a Mouse Neuronal Model" New preprint from our group led by undergraduate Henry Mitchell arxiv.org/abs/1908.07039

In adoption decisions based on social referrals, what about graph structure? Classic modeling of such decisions study "influence response functions", adoption as a function of # of adopted friends, see e.g. this classic by Duncan Watts/Peter Sheridan Dodds: jstor.org/stable/10.1086… 2/n

This work involved many lengthy discussions about what is being causally tested in this experiment, among us co-authors and with colleagues who were very generous with their time. See the paper for our best efforts to report our findings: arxiv.org/abs/1909.03543 18/n

"Network science is haunted by the consequences of urban planning, and vice versa—smart cities are just the latest manifestation of this intricate web of influence." Stunning essay on the archives of Lazarsfeld & Merton and the urban history of homophily e-flux.com/architecture/a…

"Phase Transition in the Recoverability of Network History" New paper from Laurent Hébert-Dufresne & teammates journals.aps.org/prx/abstract/1…

[1907.03902] The emergence of informative higher scales in complex networks arxiv.org/abs/1907.03902

Want an easy way to plot multilayer networks using #matplotlib and #networkx? I'm sure there's tons of ways to do this, but here's my attempt at a template. Shoutout to @ryanjgallag for the motivation. github.com/jkbren/matplot…

En nuestro último trabajo, publicado en Nature Human Behaviour (nature.com/articles/s4156…), estudiamos diferentes escenarios epidemiológicos una vez que se ha levantado el confinamiento estricto y cómo evitar segundas oleadas como las que estamos experimentando ahora en España (1/n).

love to visualize networks, a thing i am really good at

I'm happy to announce a new project, called Netzschleuder: networks.skewed.de This is a network data catalogue and repository. It currently contains 257 datasets totaling 3,916 individual networks (94,956 if you include a big OpenStreetMap trove). 1/5

Oldies but goldies: F. Chung, Spectral Graph Theory. Everything you want to know about the Laplacian of a graph! math.ucsd.edu/~fan/research/…

Story time. In W. Zachary's famous karate club study, his research question was studying "group fission" in networks. He proposed using max flow/min cut, applying Ford–Fulkerson, to predict how groups fall apart when factions form, taking the rival leaders as source/sink. 1/n

What is the role of groups in (higher-order) social contagion? 👉New preprint led by Guillaume St-Onge & Laurent Hébert-Dufresne w/ V. Latora, Alain Barrat Giovanni Petri Antoine Allard: "Influential groups for seeding and sustaining hypergraph contagions" arxiv.org/abs/2105.07092
