- Reposted by GOTHAM labLong overdue refresh of the SocioPatterns website! ✨ sociopatterns.org New content & datasets, and a chance to celebrate 17+ years of collabs, ~100 publications, 2000+ studies using our data. Thanks – more ahead! @alainbarrat.bsky.social @wouter-vdb.bsky.social @foolsdelight.bsky.social @isi.it
- 1/6 And another article out in @commsphys.nature.com Sparse group interactions polarize…but dense group interactions moderate!! Polarization emerges as a structural effect of how groups are organized: www.nature.com/articles/s42...
- 2/6 Most opinion-dynamics models rely on pairwise interactions 👭+👬+👫+.... However, opinion formation often happens in groups: 👥👥👥👥👥👥+👥👥👥👥👥👥+👥👥👥👥+... where discussions can reinforce or moderate views. This demands a higher-order framework to explicitly capture group interactions and homophily.
- 1/7 🚨 New article out in @commsphys.nature.com We show that viral 🦠 evolution is best captured through complex genotype networks, whose topology alone can drive oscillatory endemic dynamics and epidemic variability: www.nature.com/articles/s42...
- 2/7 Classical eco-evolutionary models describe antigenic drift in low-dimensional antigenic spaces. However, genomic data tell a different story: real viruses evolve on heterogeneous, modular genotype networks, with mutant swarms capturing different viral lineages.
- 🚨 Last hours!!! 👇
- Our two youngest members, @frandilisante.bsky.social and Hernán Gracia, were awarded yesterday as the best Master’s and Bachelor’s students at the San Alberto Magno festivity in our Faculty of Science at @unizar.es Congratulations, and keep enjoying the research journey!! 🚀

- 📢 Excited to announce CompleNet 2026! Join us to share your network science research in a highly interdisciplinary conference! 🗓️ 4–8 May 2026 | 📍 Zaragoza, Spain 🇪🇸 🚨 Call for contributions open – submit by Nov 15, 2025! 🌐 Info & registration: complenet.weeblysite.com
- This week we are hosting Olga Vasilieva from Univalle (Colombia), to discuss new approaches to mitigate vector-borne diseases in both plants and human populations. Yesterday we had the pleasure of attending her talk on control mechanisms to eliminate Diaphorina citri, super interesting!!!
- 🚨 New article about corruption, HOs interactions & explosive transitions pubs.aip.org/aip/cha/arti... 1/4 Great work done by Elisa, Clara, Verónica, Gabriela together w. @santiagolaot.bsky.social Hugo Perez-Martínez & @gomezgardenes.bsky.social MS also available here arxiv.org/abs/2509.04764
- 2/4 We introduce a higher-order model to study the emergence of systemic corruption in populations where individuals interact through group structures. By including groups, we capture the influence of peer pressure in group settings.
- Asado grupal para cerrar el curso académico. A pesar del calor a la brasa sabe mejor!!!
- Hoy pleno de GoThAM en la sesión de posters de #Fises25 !! @difensc-rsef.bsky.social
- 🚨 New preprint out! Our latest work explores the interface between complex networks, epidemic spreading, and eco-evolutionary dynamics arxiv.org/abs/2506.03279 By a great team: @santiagolaot.bsky.social + Octavio Rotita + Alex Arenas + @sorianopanos.bsky.social + @gomezgardenes.bsky.social
- Habemus new doc in the lab! 🎓 Big congrats to @pvalganon.bsky.social for a superb PhD thesis! It has been great to have you with us these years and wish you a vibrant and exciting scientific journey ahead. 🚀 Congrats also to the supervisors @sorianopanos.bsky.social & @gomezgardenes.bsky.social
- 🚨New paper out: 1/6 We are happy to share our work "In itinere infections covertly undermine localized epidemic control in metapopulations" published in CHAOS by @frandilisante.bsky.social @pvalganon.bsky.social @sorianopanos.bsky.social & @gomezgardenes.bsky.social 🔗 doi.org/10.1063/5.02...
- 2/6 Most metapopulation-based epidemic models assume people only spread disease within specific locations. 🚌 But what about infections acquired on the move? We extended our MIR framework introducing infections that happen while commuting, in particular on public transport, key in urban settings.

- We are happy & honored of being the next host of @complenet.bsky.social Can’t wait to welcome you to Zaragoza next May 2026!!!
- @gallartaspablo.bsky.social talking about the emergence of innovations and the role of reputation at @complenet.bsky.social !
- @santiagolaot.bsky.social now at @complenet.bsky.social in Fortaleza talking about higher-order interactions and the emergence of collective states #complenet2025
- 🚨 New preprint arxiv.org/abs/2504.07849 showing that "in itinere" 🚋🚋🚋 contagions 🦠 undermine local epidemic control, lowering thresholds & driving early outbreak delocalization across urban 🏢 areas. Francesca Dilisante @pvalganon.bsky.social @sorianopanos.bsky.social & @gomezgardenes.bsky.social
- 📌 New paper alert!!! 1/5 How is the spread of epidemics shaped by both random walks and commuting? We answer this question in this paper appeard in Physical Review E by @pvalganon.bsky.social, A Brotons, @sorianopanos.bsky.social & @gomezgardenes.bsky.social 👇
- 2/5 We developed a metapopulation formalism in which the key parameter is the “return” probability, blending commuting and exploratory behaviors in a balanced way: High return → more commuting 🚌 (agents quickly go back), low return → more exploration 🧭 (random walks).

- 1/6 New work in PRE selected as editor's suggestion! With a new hyperedge overlap matrix we characterize its impact on synchronizability in systems with HO interactions go.aps.org/3FfNGJ6 @santiagolaot.bsky.social, @federicomalizia.bsky.social, V. Latora, M. Frasca & @gomezgardenes.bsky.social
- 2/6 In our former @naturecomms.bsky.social (rdcu.be/d5P92), we showed that large intra-order hyperedge overlap hinders explosive transitions in synchronization and contagion dynamics. Now, we ask: How does hyperedge overlap affect synchronization stability itself?
- Amazing and inspiring special talk at the @cs3conference.bsky.social by our favorite Joker: our longtime friend and collaborator Alex Arenas from @urv.cat Congrats Alex on the CSS award, you rock!!!
- Last contribution from our lab at @cs3conference.bsky.social comes from our young but already consolidated expert on social affairs Hugo Pérez-Martínez talking about polarization and higher-order interactions.

- ... and morning continues at @cs3conference.bsky.social with our young promise @santiagolaot.bsky.social giving a superb talk about epidemic models coupled with viral evolution. Bravo Santi!!
- Morning starts with two dear external members of our lab @acardillo.bsky.social and @sorianopanos.bsky.social presenting at @cs3conference.bsky.social
