Had to give an example of misinformation in class last night. Started with my favourite example of the weather forecast saying "rain" but then the actual weather has no rain. "Oh wait, pretend you're not in Sydney in 2025 and it actually might not rain..."

Dear Prime Minister @albomp.bsky.social
During a recent electoral debate, when asked about climate, you said you believe the science, and the scientists.

Do you believe them enough not to defund and fire them at such a critical time?

#ohbm2025 Early Career Investigator Award to @macshine.bsky.social - congratulations, super well deserved!

Looking forward to giving my tutorial at @netsciconf.bsky.social tomorrow on "Inferring network models from multivariate time-series data: Philosophy, approaches and considerations". Slides and python notebook are posted at github.com/jlizier/neti... for those wanting to play along

Great to be involved in this very nice project by @anniegbryant.bsky.social on categorising info theory measures on time-series data, with some fantastic visual explainers --

Big shout-out to @jlizier.bsky.social, whose patience, dedication, and guidance in supervising me through this project have been invaluable 🙏 Thank you also to our other fab co-authors for their insightful input as always: Oliver Cliff, @macshine.bsky.social, and @bendfulcher.bsky.social!
