This week I travelled to the island of Ons in Galicia. An amazing natural reserve in the middle of the Atlantic. ⛵🗺️

Leyendo a Millás y Arsuaga, me encuentro que las ideas de sistemas complejos han llegado hasta la arqueología y la literatura. Eso sí, la definición de Arsuaga se deja fuera aspectos como la heterogeneidad de las interacciones, la existencia de parámetros irrelevantes en comportamientos macro, etc

Amsterdam

Now we have the one and only Renaud Lambiotte at @signet-friends.bsky.social, who will talk about structural balance beyond signed networks.

Kickstarting the FRIENDS satellite @signet-friends.bsky.social with a keynote by Jana Diesner exploring the connections between signed networks and natural language processing.

Sé que esto es como decir misa al que ya cree, pero esta frase me ha hecho pensar de nuevo en el sistema actual de publicación. Veo todo el rato evaluaciones sobre el "impacto", "timeliness", etc, de proyectos y papers, pero no tantas veces la pregunta de "qué pruebas hay de que X sea cierto"...

Back home. And with typical Galician weather.

Anda, si yo creía que se había muerto!

New acquisition, written by @philipcball.bsky.social. I have really high expectations with this book after listening to the opinions of @lavacaesferica.bsky.social.

The Auditorium in Barcelona is pretty cool! And today's program is top-tier

Going into the sloppy models rabbit hole, I'm still not sure if this is some type of cult, but we will see 🙃

After the great CS3 congress, it's time to take advantage of being in Madrid to go to the Auditorium and hear Brahms' 1st :)

Winter in Prague

I just went to hear Mahler’s Songs of a Wayfarer, but I definitely wan't expectong liking so much Dan Forrest’s Requiem for the Living. Totally blew me away—might be my favorite requiem now.

Yesterday, I successfully defended my PhD thesis on the structure and dynamics of signed networks.
Many thanks to my supervisors @smelons.bsky.social and Ernesto, to the amazing jury, and to @ifisc.uib-csic.es for having me during these three and a half years!
