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.
