What happens when a network is neither perfectly ordered nor completely random? Watts & Strogatz’s 1998 “small-world” insight: add a few random shortcuts to a local network, you keep the clustering but gain short paths.

Next up: two classic sociological networks!
Mohr & Duquenne (1997) map how NYC’s social welfare system evolved from strict moral categorizations of “the poor” in 1888 to a professionalized structure by 1917.
A Galois lattice reveals how culture shaped the very logic of relief.

Another striking network visualization: the Network of Political Blogs during the 2004 U.S. presidential election.
Red = Republican, Blue = Democratic.
The analysis revealed dense within-party links and few cross-party ties—an early snapshot of online polarization.

Another great visualization—The Network of the Conclave maps the social structure of the papal conclave, where each node represents a cardinal, colored by doctrinal orientation. Few modern decision-making processes combine secrecy, ritual, and influence as vividly as this one.

Next up! ✈️ A look at the worldwide airport network (2013). Researchers tested 12 attack strategies and found that degree-based and Bonacich-based attacks most disrupt passenger flow—laying the groundwork for smarter, more resilient air transport systems.

Continuing our network visualization series.
Research has long focused on a few related disorders—but genetics now reveals links across nearly all diseases. The HDN, developed by @barabasi.bsky.social maps genetic connections between disorders, offering a genome-wide roadmap for future discoveries.

Let’s warm up your appetite for the beauty of networks! 🌐
Leading up to #NetSci2026, we’ll share iconic visualizations that reveal just how interconnected our world is. Consider this your visual warm-up before the conference! 👀

This turned out great, thanks to three amazing speakers and an engaged audience. Great job everyone!
Let's maybe turn this into a regular NetSci satellite?

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.

Had an awesome time this week at @netbiomed2025.bsky.social and @netsciconf.bsky.social.

Very interesting talks and posters and nice people, I couldn’t be more excited to get back to working on this topic to study biological processes.

Final shift at @netsciconf.bsky.social presenting my poster on nonequilibrium brain network dynamics.

Also got to see our fearless leader, Renaud Lambiotte, collect his well-deserved Fellowship.

Our last #NetSci2025 keynote speaker is Michael Macy, who discussed polarization not from the opinion perspective but from the people point of view. His work was very insightful when showing the importance of 'early movers' when generating polarization cascades. @netsciconf.bsky.social

Earlier this week, @lmrocha.bsky.social , Chair of CBeRa, was an invited speaker at the @netbiomed2025.bsky.social Satellite of @netsciconf.bsky.social in Maastricht.

He spoke about making digital twins more interpretable, a key move for biomedical AI! Great chance to show CBeRa to the community

People of #netsci2025!
Come hear from experts of a field that has had so far little interaction with our community, but holds great potential for us physicists who think we can solve any other field 😂, at our focus session on network psychometrics on Friday!
