Wonderful time in Australia! 🇦🇺
At #ASNAC2025 I presented my work on missing data in network autocorrelation models and had great exchanges with the ANSNA community. I visited UniMelb, Swinburne, and UNSW (Seed Fund UC–UNSW), and presented at the University of Sydney @chisocnet.bsky.social

In this episode, we discuss how culture and cognition shape network ties, the value of data science, and how sociology can bridge structure and meaning.
