Trivia: New York City isn't the central in the state's rail network, by betweenness (I checked). Rochester makes the top six, and so do five other towns along Erie Canal. The railroad opened alongside it 6y from the canal opening. Industrial revolution was fast paced like now @complenet.bsky.social

The bottleneck is still the portage

Betweenness centrality on New York's in-state rail network: the top six towns are all Erie Canal towns.

🚨 New Physical Review E paper out! Led by my graduate student Bibandhan Poudyal, we study how spatial structure + human mobility interact to shape vulnerability in vector-borne diseases. πŸ¦ŸπŸ™οΈ πŸ“„ doi.org/10.1103/kyxw...

Spatiotemporal determinants of vector-borne disease outbreaks

Vector-borne diseases arise from the coupled dynamics of human mobility and mosquito ecology, producing outbreaks shaped by both spatial distributions and temporal patterns of movement. Here we develo...

Why does the most original science sometimes come from outside elite circles? Our new paper tackles a tough question: Do superstar scientists fuel or stifle innovation around them? After 2 years + a few rejections, it’s finally out. 🧡
