Happy to be in beautiful Siena for the Conference on Complex Systems. We are partnering with the organizers for a Collection in npj Complexity on "The Evolving Landscape of Complex Systems." #ccs2025
I'm excited to meet everyone to talk complexity!

On this day in 2023, the Vermont Complex Systems Institute (vermontcomplexsystems.org), TGIR Center (www.med.uvm.edu/tgircobre/home) & @sfiscience.bsky.social joined for an event on interacting contagions
Our work, "One pathogen does not an epidemic make," is now online: arxiv.org/abs/2504.15053

Networks, snow, tea, hot wine, science in an old monastery, friends in beautiful Québec City... What's not to love?!
We're looking for new friends and participants for the Complex Network Winter Workshop (CNWW) 2025. Follow the post for details and application link.

The cool idea is to use "democratic satisfiability" problems to study governance. Decisions have to follow constraints and also respect the will of a population.
You want some overlap between decision groups (folks involved in multiple decisions) but not too much or you stop being democratic.

Some decisions are best made quickly and locally. Governance can work better as a higher-order network, not a pyramid around a central state. How should we design these networks?
We looked at this with law and complexity scholars and found "effective governance" networks.

As good a time as any to announce our Translational Global Infectious disease Research (TGIR) Center has been renewed!
I'm still Director of our Modeling Core, but we have a brand new wave of junior faculty and even more faculty positions coming! TGIR AMBUSH!
