Last paper out in JEBO! We propose an epi-economic model to understand how individuals change their behavior to adapt during an ongoing epidemic. Big thanks to @albertobisin.bsky.social Lorenzo Nemati Fard e @mstarnini.bsky.social! www.sciencedirect.com/science/arti...

🎉 Today, our perspective on "Using mobility data to quantify experienced urban inequalities" is finally published in Nature Human Behavior. I am honored to be listed among many stellar coauthors and thankful for their valuable insights. www.nature.com/articles/s41...

Using human mobility data to quantify experienced urban inequalities - Nature Human Behaviour

Xu et al. review applications of urban mobility behaviour data and propose a temporal bipartite network that reveals mobility patterns between people and places. It helps to track urban inequalities i...

The bacteria in your gut depend on where you are in the social network around you. The microbes within us treat our social networks as the extended environment in which they thrive. They can spread from person to person. New #HNL work out today in @natureportfolio.bsky.social . 1/

Hello #scaling and @bsky.app enthusiasts. While the data gathering goes on, the sample size increases and I am saving snapshots. Here you can see how the distributions are changing over time after moving from 40k to 540k users. Dashed lines are power laws with exp -2 and -1 for reference.

Manlio De Domenico@manlius.bsky.social · 2y ago

An update on this #scaling matter, for the curious ones. The connectivity from 256k users still confirms the non-power-law shape of the (observed) network (left). Over time, the mean connectivity decreases (right), but more robust analysis is needed to understand biases & mechanisms. 1/
