Struggling to finish the semester? We've got your back! That's why we've extended the submission deadline for #CCS2026 by two more weeks! Submit your abstract by May 15th and join the largest and most prestigious international #conference in the field of #ComplexSystems science!

Join us at the Long Night of Research this Friday. @elisaomodei.bsky.social will present how digital footprints—from mobile data to social media—help researchers study inequality, behavior, and polarization. More info: langenachtderforschung.at/station/6844

How Do Scientists Use Your Digital Footprints to Study Social Issues? - #LNF26 Lange Nacht der Forschung

Every call, location ping or post leaves a digital footprint—and these traces reveal more than habits. Mobile metadata helps track wildfire evacuations, identify vulnerable groups, and expose inequali...

Now on First View ft. Zack Zimbalist and @elisaomodei.bsky.social! “This is the first study to use a comprehensive dataset and citation network approach to quantitatively assess the degree of underrepresentation in the leading political science research on Africa." doi.org/10.1017/S104... #polisky

Who shapes the landscape of African politics scholarship, and who is missing? Find the answer in the recently published paper in @pspolisci.bsky.social by Zack Zimbalist (@wuvienna.bsky.social & Southern Centre for Inequality Studies) and @elisaomodei.bsky.social (CEU) 🔗 doi.org/10.1017/S104...

Ladies and Gentlemen, @ceu-dnds.bsky.social at @ccs2025.bsky.social #CCS2025

It was a great pleasure to chair the 7th edition of the Complex Systems for the Most Vulnerable #CCS2025 satellite: a huge thank you to all our brilliant speakers (both invited and contributed!) for sharing their work and making it such a success!

Proud supervisor moment: full room today for @claraeminente.bsky.social's presentation at the #CCS2025 Computational Social Science satellite on the role of social circles and social media on the perception of racial minorities. No preprint yet (work in progress), but come talk to us if interested!

It's always a pleasure to participate in the Computational Social Science satellite at @css-conference.bsky.social, thanks for having me! Btw, interested in the role of science in climate change discussions on Reddit? Check out our paper: doi.org/10.1371/jour... #CCS2025

Next, we have @elisaomodei.bsky.social, talking about the role of science in the online climate change debate #CCS2025

Are digital traces giving us a biased view of polarization? 🤔 New paper by Yijing Chen, @elisaomodei.bsky.social & co-authors shows that APIs capturing only visible engagement (💬 YouTube comments) may suggest stronger segregation than less visible forms (▶️ views). 🔗 bit.ly/3JAp2Fz
