Earlier this year, we had the pleasure of participating in the NetSci 2025 conference in Maastricht.
Our team shared exciting new research across topics from social network dynamics to mobility, privacy, and community structure. We even brought home two awards!

It’s almost like if people tell you that to win you have to turn your back on poor people, or Muslims, or trans people, or immigrants, you can just say, “no, that’s immoral, we’re not doing that,” and keep doing good old fashioned organizing and campaigning and things will be ok

Middle East crisis – live updates
A UN commission of inquiry concluded on Tuesday that Israel had committed genocide in Gaza and that top Israeli officials including the prime minister, Benjamin Netanyahu, had incited these acts.
