Lots of higher-order interactions at the joint @beyondtheedge.network and RUNES workshop at AMU in Marseille this week. Thanks to @alainbarrat.bsky.social and @lordgrilo.bsky.social!
Happening soon with the fantastic @haharrington.bsky.social. Join us!
Join us Tue, 30 Sept (11:00 CET) as the #BeyondTheEdge Seminar series returns after the summer break!

🎙 Prof. Heather Harrington (Oxford & MPI-CBG)
📖 Topological Data Analysis for Multiscale Biology

I am extremely excited that my Istvan Z. Kiss number now is one with multiplicity 2!
Going #BeyondTheEdge in Aachen! Great fun catching up with @beyondtheedge.network colleagues at the HOOC workshop organized by M Schaub: conf.netsci.rwth-aachen.de
"Free yourself with constraints" is a good summary of the work.
Maybe I should use generative AI to plot any vector field in the style of ancient nails...
Ancient vector fields excavated close to Dynamics Days Europe 2025 in Thessaloniki. It was a fun conference (just too short), see you in Lisbon next year!
If you couple two systems with bistability between oscillations of distinct effective frequencies, you have to make them different for the distinct states to synchronize in frequency. Some theory and experiments now in Science Advances. doi.org/10.1126/scia...
Frequency synchronization induced by frequency detuning
Analyses and experiments on multistable networks show that frequency detuning can promote synchronization.

Indeed, great to see so many of you! And of course thanks to @andai.bsky.social and @piratepeel.bsky.social for making NetSci 2025 happen.

Can a network be physically be a graph but effectively be a hypergraph? Tiago Pereira is speaking about emergent hypernetworks in the focus session “Network Dynamical Systems” at @netsciconf.bsky.social.

You've got friends round for coffee and cake. There are seven of you. Trouble is, you've made a square cake. How do you make sure everyone receives an equal share?

Dominic has his cake and they all eat it.
About a week left to apply (through May 5) for a fully-funded PhD position on the collective dynamics on networks. Come to Amsterdam to join the Emergence at All Scales consortium led by @emergencediep.bsky.social. Please share!

Maybe we should have a sponsorship package for this?
