It has been a pleasure to be part of this amazing school. The X edition promised to be special and it has really exceeded expectations!!!

Congratulations to @manlius.bsky.social @giuseppemangioni.bsky.social Alex Arenas @marcograssia.bsky.social and the rest of the organizers.
@mscxnetworks.bsky.social ended.

A week of cutting edge complexity science, from foundations to applications. Amazing speakers and great cohort of attendants.

One of the best editions ever. 10 years of passion, love and network science.

In an amazing piece of #Sicily

Meanwhile, DOJ lawyers are threatening medical journals for not providing adequate "viewpoint diversity" and for misinforming their readership, which I suppose means not publishing enough of the stupid shit that RFK Jr., JB, etc. keep saying.

This is an outrageous First Amendment violation.

At least three journals received letters from a U.S. Attorney asking about 'competing viewpoints'
