What happens when a network is neither perfectly ordered nor completely random? Watts & Strogatz’s 1998 “small-world” insight: add a few random shortcuts to a local network, you keep the clustering but gain short paths. 𝙎𝙩𝙖𝙮 𝙩𝙪𝙣𝙚𝙙 𝙛𝙤𝙧 𝙢𝙤𝙧𝙚!!

Congratulations to @alexvespi for being awarded the EPS SNPD Prize 2025, in recognition of his seminal contributions to the statistical physics of complex networks and for unveiling the universal principles governing epidemic spreading and information diffusion.

Next up: two classic sociological networks! Mohr & Duquenne (1997) map how NYC’s social welfare system evolved from strict moral categorizations of “the poor” in 1888 to a professionalized structure by 1917. 🔗 https://t.co/bRdlzmJbE2

Another striking network visualization: the Network of Political Blogs during the 2004 U.S. presidential election. Red = Republican, Blue = Democratic. The analysis revealed few cross-party ties—an early snapshot of online polarization. Study 🔗 https://t.co/XEhCvRcFkp

🚨 𝗡𝗲𝘁𝗦𝗰𝗶 𝟮𝟬𝟮𝟲 𝗿𝗲𝗴𝗶𝘀𝘁𝗿𝗮𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻 𝗶𝘀 𝗻𝗼𝘄 𝗼𝗽𝗲𝗻! Secure your spot at the flagship conference of the Network Science Society and take advantage of the early bird registration special - https://t.co/oyOeKZnHXw 📅 June 1–5, 2026 | Hyatt Regency, Cambridge, MA

Another great visualization—The Network of the Conclave maps the social structure of the papal conclave. Few modern decision-making processes combine secrecy, ritual, and influence as vividly as this one. 🔗 https://t.co/xQcxhTaLKj

Next up! ✈️ A look at the worldwide airport network (2013). Researchers tested 12 attack strategies and found that degree-based and Bonacich-based attacks most disrupt passenger flow, laying the groundwork for smarter, more resilient air transport systems.

Continuing our network visualization series. Research has long focused on a few related disorders—but genetics now reveals links across nearly all diseases. HDN, developed by @barabasi maps genetic connections between disorders: a genome-wide roadmap for future discoveries.

Let’s warm up your appetite for the beauty of networks! In the lead-up to #NetSci2026, we’ll be sharing a series of iconic network visualizations. Each image tells a story about how interconnected our world really is. Consider this your visual warm-up before the conference! 👀

Waymo is designed to obey road rules & never drives under the influence. Learn why these advocates say it could save lives.

Delighted to revisit the story of networks with @veritasium.

NetSci 2026 is coming to the Network Science Institute at Northeastern University! 🎉 We are honored to host a conference that brings together the world’s leading ideas, discoveries, and challenges in network science. @NUnetsi @Northeastern @NetSciConf

We’re excited to launch the 𝗦𝗣𝗔𝗡 𝗟𝗮𝗯 at @NUnetsi London, led by Prof. @istvanzkiss . The team studies how contagion spreads through networks—biological, social, and technological, with projects spanning epidemics, inference, & healthcare. #SPANLab🔗 https://t.co/Yj9KmFtweH
