🚨 New paper from @comunelab.bsky.social !

We review the latent geometry emerging from network-driven processes, with an eye to network functionality and applications from biological systems to infrastructures.

Thrilled for the latest work from @comunelab.bsky.social !

We introduce a multilayer + multiscale model in two distinct frameworks (particle- & force-based), identifying how to balance contact and mobility cuts to mitigate epidemics. #ComplexSystems

Can confirm that my NSF grant "How False Beliefs Form & How to Correct Them" was cancelled today because it is "not in alignment with current NSF priorities" Shocking that understanding how people are misled by false information is now a forbidden topic. Our work will continue but at a smaller scale
NSF has posted an “update on priorities.”

They’re canceling all “DEI and misinformation/disinformation” grants.

And the guidance on how to fulfill the longstanding, legally mandated Broadening Participation requirement is utterly incoherent.

2. There's the silly: after being mocked for setting tariffs to trade deficit / exports, the White House retorted that they didn't do that at all – they used this fancy formula. 

How convenient that the two fitted parameters, ε=4 and φ=0.25 multiply to 1, leaving...yes, trade deficit / exports.

🚀 New research alert! 🚀

Led by @gbarzon.bsky.social, @giorgionicoletti.bsky.social and Daniel Maria Busiello, our latest work in Physical Review Letters (journals.aps.org/prl/abstract...) reveals how excitation-inhibition balance tunes the timescale of information coding in neuronal populations! 🧠🔬

PREPRINT OUT 💡

We show how consumer-resource communities with colored-noise fluctuations violate the competitive exclusion principle and give rise to realistic ecological structures

Emergence of ecological structure and species rarity from fluctuating metabolic strategies
Ecosystems often demonstrate the coexistence of numerous species competing for limited resources, with pronounced rarity and abundance patterns. A potential driver of such coexistence is environmental...
