🔥 Hey NetPals! This week, we're excited to welcome William Thompson from the University of Vermont, who'll talk about stochastic opinion dynamic models and finding (or not finding) your niche as a researcher. 📅 When: 17th Apr, 4pm UK time Zoom: netplace.site
Today, @alessiaantelmi will discuss the impact of group interactions on climate-related discussions and the transition from PhD to researcher in academia. Don’t miss out!

Very happy to finally have Helcio + crazy interesting work:)
🔥 Hey Pals, time for our usual seminar announcement! This week, we’re excited to have Helcio Felippe (@juniorfelippe) discussing similarity measures in networks and voluntary work in academia (see below). Save the date: 20th Mar, 4pm UK time Zoom: netplace.site
🔥 Two new pre-prints are out: 👉 "Urban Safety Perception Trough the Lens of Large Multimodal Models: A Persona-based Approach" lnkd.in/ddSM3uez 👉 "Understanding Urban-Rural Disparities in Mobility Inefficiency for Colombia, Mexico, and India" lnkd.in/d56ZzWHB
🔥 Hey Pals, we're back! This week, we are happy to have Sagar Kumar (@istudymemes) discussing models of information spread in populations and giving us his views on interdisciplinary research. 📷 Save the date: 6th Mar, 4pm UK time Zoom: netplace.site
🔥 Hey NetPals! This week, we welcome Francesco Bortolotti, who will discuss modeling social systems in the age of GenAI, covering methods, challenges, and real-world examples 📊🤖. 📅 Mark your calendars: 12th Dec, 5pm UK (notice the time!) 🔗 Zoom: netplace.site
🔥 Hey NetPals! It's time for our usual seminar recap! In the last session, we had the pleasure of discussing chemical automata networks and the challenges of lacking motivation in academia with Amaury J. L. Diaz @amahury0 from Binghamton University.
We are thrilled to announce the merger of two key organizations supporting early-career researchers in network science: SYNS (Society of Young Network Scientists) and NetPLACE (Networks, PhD Life, and Complexity). Together, we are now NetPlace! @official_SYNS @netplace_semi

🔥 Hey NetPals! Just your friendly seminar recap. Last time, we welcomed Yuan Zhang from the University of Zurich, who talked about selective exposure and echo chambers on social media.
🐒✨ Excited to share our new Science paper: "Population connectivity shapes chimpanzee cumulative culture." 🧬 This work by @fede7j, @OnkarSadekar & collaborators explores how migration & networks influence cultural complexity in chimps. Read more: bit.ly/3ZkPvwc
🔥 Hey hey! Exciting seminar announcement! This week we are very happy to have Amahury JL Diaz @amahury0 discussing chemical automata as energy-efficient approaches for unconventional computing. 📅 Mark your calendars: 28th Nov, 4pm UK (GMT) 📷 Zoom: netplace.site
Excited to announce PANINIpy, a package for nonparametric inference with networks in Python! We go beyond community detection and network reconstruction to "MDL-ify" a range of unsupervised learning problems on graph data. Actively seeking contributions! joss.theoj.org/papers/10.2110…
Another interesting starter pack from @YR_CSS to showcase the work of early career researchers in complex systems 🦋 tinyurl.com/27fvswhn
