Check out Zihao's new paper below! We have a close look at geographical inequalities in timetabled journeys by bus in England, and uncover how travel time variability affects different areas of England. Lots more to come on this!

Honored to lecture at the 10th-anniversary edition of MSCx and to join such an incredible lineup of speakers.
Having participated in 3 past editions, I can say MSCx stands out not only for its academic excellence but also for its vibrant group dynamics - Mediterranean vibes surely play a role! 😀

The call for our 10th edition is open 🙃!
We trained almost 400 young researchers so far 🧑🔬
Can you miss one week of network science with leading network scientists in the field?
In the beautiful island of Ortigia (Sicily)?
Hurry up! Only 60 seats available, deadline 11/02/25

Particularly delighted and a personal pleasure to be able to announce our next keynote speaker: @suzymoat.bsky.social from @datasciencelab.bsky.social will be joining us in Exeter for @css-conference.bsky.social !
#KeynoteSpeaker @suzymoat.bsky.social is a Professor of Behavioural Science and co-director of the Data Science Lab. Her research investigates whether data on our usage of the Internet (eg: Google, Wikipedia & Flickr) can help us measure and even predict human behaviour in the real world.

The first of our keynote speakers! We'll be announcing more of them over the coming days.
#KeynoteSpeaker Andrea Migliano is Prof of Evolutionary Anthropology at the Uni of Zurich. She explores how hunter-gatherer behavior shapes human adaptations like complex sociality, cumulative culture, and pro-sociality using comparative socioecology, network analyses, and experimental psychology
