- New preprint out! We analyze data from Meneame, a Spanish "Reddit-like" platform, assessing polarization with a dual method approach: SHEEP for signed networks and Correspondence Analysis for unsigned networks. doi.org/10.48550/arX...

- Reposted by Alexandre Bovet1. Kevin Gross and I just posted a new science-of-science preprint. This one explores the looming peer review crisis. As many of you know, it's becoming significantly more difficult for journal editors to find scholars willing to serve as peer reviewers for submitted manuscripts.

- Reposted by Alexandre BovetNew preprint! 🚨 We study the interaction between misinformation and science on Twitter during COVID-19 based on ~407M tweets. Both science and misinformation featured prominently during the pandemic, but the interaction between the two has not been studied on this scale before. 🧵 (1/10)

- Reposted by Alexandre BovetThe Detox Workshop at @icwsm.bsky.social has wrapped up. Thanks to our keynote @maxfalken.bsky.social , all our speakers, my co-organisers, and everyone who joined the event! 🫖 We don’t have all the solutions yet, but it’s clear that tackling platform harms requires new methods and data sources!
- Excited for my first #ICWSM! I'll be showing our work on the Twitter to Bluesky academic migration this afternoon at the nextgensocial-workshop.github.io (paper: arxiv.org/abs/2505.24801) @yuan1227.bsky.social will show our paper on incivility on Thursday: ojs.aaai.org/index.php/IC...
- Reposted by Alexandre BovetI'll be at #ICWSM 2025 next week to present our paper about Bluesky Starter Packs. For the occasion, I've created a Starter Pack with all the organizers, speakers, and authors of this year I could find on Bluesky!

- Reposted by Alexandre Bovet📢 The NetSci-X 2026 Call for Abstracts is now open! Submit your work and join us in #Auckland to explore diversity in network science. 📅 Deadline: 5 September 2025, 23:59 AoE 🌐 More info: netscix2026.github.io @mluczak.bsky.social Michael Small @droneale.bsky.social Daniela Paolotti
- 10 years ago, I went to my first #NetSci. I had just finished my PhD, had nothing to present, knew nobody, but I knew I was finally where I wanted to be. Fascinating science and people. I feel very lucky to have helped organize @netsciconf.bsky.social this year and to have brought my great students!

- Reposted by Alexandre BovetOur last #NetSci2025 keynote speaker is Michael Macy, who discussed polarization not from the opinion perspective but from the people point of view. His work was very insightful when showing the importance of 'early movers' when generating polarization cascades. @netsciconf.bsky.social
- Reposted by Alexandre BovetTime-respecting path problem: getting by train to Düsseldorf. Your first train is cancelled. Should you wait for a direct connection (to be cancelled with probability p) or pick a route with many hops (p again per hop, but increasing number of alternatives). There must be a DAG for this #NetSci2025

- Reposted by Alexandre BovetCool hypergraph approach for modeling homophily explicitly at each interaction size! Samantha told us how shifting homophily across hyperedge sizes can amplify inequality in who gets timely information—a perfect hypergraph companion to our clique-layer story. arxiv.org/abs/2412.07901 #netsci2025

- Reposted by Alexandre BovetFinishing #NetSci2025's third day, Jari Saramäki discusses the importance of temporality in the network science paradigm. I liked his emphasis on causality, and I found event networks very compelling to defeat to explore what life is! @netsciconf.bsky.social
