Comparing the Italian and Danish music industries, we can see structural similarities, but also differences in which music genres and periods are more "exploratory" in each country. We can also see which are the bands that tie the countries together. Read more, blog post […]

Full house at #CSH for @mszll 's talk on #bicycle networks from politics to planning software #GISChat #MobilityDataScience

Tuesday, July 14th, 2pm I'll give a talk at Complexity Science Hub #vienna : The complex socio-technical system of #bicycle networks: From politics to planning software https://csh.ac.at/events/the-complex-socio-technical-system-of-bicycle-networks-from-politics-to-planning-software/

We find a strong correlation between right wing votes and delays in bike network development in #paris. Qualitative observations for such a link have been reported in the past, but we now have the data to back it up.

Looking forward to #agit2026, presenting our analysis on the Danish Bicycle Node Network, and our progress on @bikenetkit https://bikenetkit.org/ #BikeNetKit July 9th, session 10B from 13:00. See you in Salzburg!

I'm happy to announce that the Handbook of Social and Communication Networks is finally out: www.e-elgar.com/shop/gbp/han... The work, co-edited with @toledobastos.bsky.social , attempts to define what happens when network science meets communication studies. It's a collection of works,

How does online communication adapt to organizational context? In a new pre-print with @cerenbudak.bsky.social and @lajello.bsky.social, we study US labor unions’ Facebook use of discourse frames around wins and losses in representation elections. 🧵 📖 arxiv.org/abs/2510.01757

New 🚲 preprint! https://arxiv.org/abs/2604.07029 Quality assessment of a country-wide bicycle node network with loop census analysis We analyzed the new 30000km long Danish #bicycle node network, exploring all 28M round trips in the network up to day-trip length. 🧵

After 17 years of many manuscripts cleaned+submitted to #arxiv, I finally automated and wrote down the process, see: https://github.com/NERDSITU/research-resources/blob/main/arxivsubmission.md Thanks to the amazing Python packages bib_optimizer and arxiv_latex_cleaner.
