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

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! 👀
