Join us this Thursday, Dec 4, for our final seminar of the fall semester! We’re thrilled to host Haily Merritt (@h-merritt.bsky.social), who will share her research on how social connections shape the brain through a complex-systems lens, as well as insights into multidisciplinary scholarship.

Join us this week on Thursday, Nov. 6, for our second seminar series of the fall semester! We are excited for Louis Boucherie to present his work on the effect of geographical constraints on human mobility.

Our fall seminar series begins this Thursday, Oct. 2 (4pm UTC+1/11am EDT) with a talk by Elena Candellone. She’ll be speaking about “Mapping extreme users through negative ties in online social interactions”, followed by a discussion on “the joy of planning scientific events”.

We’re excited to announce the line-up for our fall seminar series! We have three awesome speakers who will share their research and perspectives on the craft of science.

At NetPlace, we try to build spaces for junior researchers to come together to learn from each other and develop their craft. Our seminar series does just this, integrating the sharing of scientific knowledge and discussion about the process of science. We hope Ph.D. students from complex systems, network science, and interdisciplinary research in general will join us for a monthly talk and discussion.

Louis Boucherie (Thursday, Nov. 6)
Haily Merritt (Thursday, Dec. 4)
