Next up! ✈️ A look at the worldwide airport network (2013). Researchers tested 12 attack strategies and found that degree-based and Bonacich-based attacks most disrupt passenger flow—laying the groundwork for smarter, more resilient air transport systems.

Continuing our network visualization series.
Research has long focused on a few related disorders—but genetics now reveals links across nearly all diseases. The HDN, developed by @barabasi.bsky.social maps genetic connections between disorders, offering a genome-wide roadmap for future discoveries.
