The presentation of the site comes with such an outstanding clarity that it underpins beautifully a key message we want to pursue: the world is naturally complex, but there are approaches and tools to bring clarity to this and move from complexity to possibility! www.tepunahamatatini.ac.nz 4/4

Over the past year we have done extensive work on re-articulating what we at @tepunahamatatini.bsky.social do, how we do it, and why we do it. The first publicly visible artifact is our new online presence: www.tepunahamatatini.ac.nz 1/n

The Wellington crowd of the Café Complexité catching up again. Today for an impulse talk by Michael Howden (Complexity Fellow at the Chair in Complexity Science). He's talking about the complex evolution of the water system, giving us a crucial industry perspective and grounding.

Getting around quite a bit in Europe this & next week. From the Complexity Science Hub in Vienna to the Basque Centre for Climate in Bilbao, to the ISI Foundation in Turin (next week, see below). What are we doing? We're talking about the @tepunahamatatini.bsky.social approach to complex systems.

Science of connections satellite about to kick off at #NetSci2025 and I'm pleased to have #NetSciX2026 information in the bag (watch out for those flyers). The conference will be in Auckland, New Zealand, in February 2026. netscix2026.github.io

All go for another Café Complexité here at Victoria University of Wellington. Today Micheal Miller is introducing non linear dynamics in such a gentle way. His previous experience as a math and physics teacher showing. Exceptionally fun session.

When social media is critical part of the public sphere, governments should be stewards of good engineering and ethical practice, in the interest of democracy and the common good. Glad I got the chance to contribute a little bit to the article linked in this post: www.linkedin.com/posts/forum-...

Collectively "reading" a paper to make the concept of tipping points accessible to everyone. Today at Café Complexité.

And we got @nick-golledge.bsky.social here too, who is now talking about the story behind his book "Feedback: Uncovering the Hidden Connections between Life and the Universe" www.nicholasgolledge.com

Café Complexité is back for the first session in 2025. Luke Edwards doing a whiteboard talk introducing basics of feedback. Good mix of researchers & people from practice engage on possibilities of complexity science to improve policy making, forecasting etc. 🧪 /cc @tepunahamatatini.bsky.social

Really nice morning today with Prof Simon Angus from Monash, who presented about the use of LLMs to understand issue framing.

Amazing to have Ronald Fischer around in person for the first time in a few years. Inspiring talk this morning, touching on some of our previous work in the realm of computational text analysis to understand psychological constructs across space & time. Great discussion followed.

We compared different ways to measure the strength of international research collaborations. Our case study is on the CANZUK group of countries. "Absolute and relative measures of CANZUK research partnerships’ strength since the 1950s" doi.org/10.1371/jour...

Absolutely stoked to let people know that Torven Schalk successfully defended his PhD thesis today. Examiners requested no changes except for a final grammar and spelling check. Privilege to have co-supervised him alongside primary supervisor Ronald Fischer.

Delighted that I had the opportunity to give a talk to the team of Prof Claudia Wagner at GESIS in Cologne today. Thanks so much for hosting me and the many exciting discussions.

You can't go to Cologne and not take a photo of the cathedral.

In Potsdam. Autumn is the best time of the year in and around Berlin.

Finally moved into my office at the L3S at the Leibniz University Hannover to join the team of the AI Future Lab for almost two months. Exciting work in the area of AI for personalized medicine going on here. What a privilege to be part of it.
