What if #herd_immunity isn’t just about how many people are immune, but how they’re 'spatially' connected? Our new PNAS paper explores this concept. We show how the topology and geometry of social networks influence the dynamics of herd immunity, whether it arises from infection or #vaccination. 1/2

Most neuroscience research is exploratory: they search for *something* rather than testing a hypothesis. It's harking. I used to see that as a problem, but not anymore. The 1st papers generate hypotheses; the real testing comes later. Science only make sense collectively, not individually.
When I read research papers that are the result of very expensive work (experiments or simulations) I always want to know: how could this project have possibly ended with a null result? And is there an argument in this paper that compares the actual result to this null? If not, I'm very suspicious.
