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! 👀
