Back from #CS2Italy - 1st conference on Computational Social Science My presentation on complex contagion and negative influence --> federico-bianchi.github.io/presentation...

It's time to establish an Italian Society of Computational Social Sciences. Ivano Bison illustrates why we need it and the next steps to create it #CS2Italy

A pic from the symposium on Empirically-Calibrated Agent-Based Models at IAST/TSE in Toulouse - great to see you guys so often! Thank you @mrnkzr.bsky.social for being a great host! Here are my presentation slides on complex contagion & negative influence federico-bianchi.github.io/presentation...

Molto contento di tornare all'Università degli Studi di Torino per parlare del mio libro "Reti sociali. Meccanismi e modelli" www.mulino.it/isbn/9788815... Mercoledì 27/11 h. 14:00 --> www.dcps.unito.it/do/avvisi.pl...

This skeet is for the Sociology folks! Sociology has officially arrived. In an effort to re-live the early days of academic twixxer we now have a 3 volume starter pack(s) posted below. Feel free to add any areas of interest starter packs to this feed too and reqs to be added! Here We Go!

I made a Sociology Starter Pack. Its just a start, so let me know if you want to be added. go.bsky.app/QqTLQau

I am adding this starter pack on "Social and Sociological Theory" to this feed. Thanks for setting this up! go.bsky.app/ByNfpie

I made a starter pack for computational sociologists. Please DM if you think you should be added (or taken off!) go.bsky.app/U1Wia61

It's the time of year when I teach research proposal writing to the new PhD students. Here is my 2 page PhD project template that we work with. Many people find it useful, so sharing again. LaTeX template (and PDF): github.com/rmcelreath/P...

A first starter pack on computational social science, that is, researchers who use computational methods (broadly defined) to answer social science questions. It's a vaguely defined field with blurry borders, so it's certainly incomplete; if you want to be on it, let me know! go.bsky.app/PCckf3C

🚨Excited for our upcoming QSSS Seminar featuring @federicobianchi.bsky.social! Don’t miss out—join us in-person or online (DM for the link)!
