My mom, @bettyscarpino.bsky.social, has a piece going on display at the Smithsonian’s Renwick Gallery!!!

The @washingtonpost.com mentioned her in their great review of the show.

She’s many of our biggest social media booster, so let’s show her lots of love ❤️

And honorable mentions, Cosimo Agostinelli from @beyondtheedge.network will talk about higher-order dissimilarities, and @maximelca.bsky.social about higher-order dynamics and basins (paper here: www.science.org/doi/full/10....)
Deeper but smaller: Higher-order interactions increase linear stability but shrink basins
Higher-order interactions affect collective dynamics differently when viewed from local and global perspectives.

In the meantime, @poetz.bsky.social will talk at CRAB satellite (sites.google.com/view/crab202...) about recent work by Project CETI (www.projectceti.org) on understanding social dynamics during a sperm whale calf birth.
Project CETI •-- Home
CETI is a nonprofit organization applying advanced machine learning and state-of-the-art robotics to listen to and translate the communication of sperm whales.

and Matteo Neri (again!) on charting the higher-order landscape (big lab output, preprint here: www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1...)
Beyond Pairwise Interactions: Charting Higher-Order Models of Brain Function
Traditional models of brain connectivity have primarily focused on pairwise interactions, over-looking the rich dynamics that emerge from simultaneous interactions among multiple brain regions. Althou...

Where Lorenzo Zaffina will speak about topological approaches to emotion in brain data in naturalistic stimuli (work with @andreasantoro.bsky.social), Marta Morandini on directional interactions in aging (with @brovelli.bsky.social),
September 1, 2025 at 11:20 AM
and then we double down with @jesseba.bsky.social talking about adaptive networks in a learn-relearning generalization task in rodents vs artificial networks (Biological networks #2, 2/9, with @scarpino.bsky.social).
September 1, 2025 at 11:20 AM
We continue with Giulia Lorenzini speaking about evolution and integration of the hippocampus representation in freely roaming rodents (Biological Networks #1, 2/9, with @nicopedre.bsky.social and Giuseppe Gava)
September 1, 2025 at 11:20 AM
We start with Matteo Neri (@matte_blacks on X) about Ok-information, an order-specific measure of higher-order information (work with @danielemarinazzo.bsky.social @brovelli.bsky.social, Human Behaviour session, 1/9)

this is not a side quest, it’s the core challenge of complex systems”.

What do the predictability limits of epidemics have to do with limits on our us of AI study biology?

Tomorrow at 9am in Indore (1030pm today in Boston), I'm going to try and connect these dots during my #netscix2025 keynote lecture.

Our ability to identify mechanisms in higher-order systems is dependent on the observation scale (which depends on the network and dynamical model).
