re-#introduction
Hi Fediscience! I am an Assistant Professor of Mechanical Engineering at University of Hawaiʻi at Mānoa (Honolulu). I got here starting from Physics training with many scientific detours into data-driven models, complex systems, nanomaterial self-assembly, human learning of complex networks, naval ships, and design problems.
I grew up in Belarus and have *opinions* on that region of the world. I've been on Fediverse since late 2022 when *something* happened to our previous cybersocial infrastructure, but the previous server I was on is sunsetting. Please come say hi and recommend cool people to follow here.
I have a blog with longer thoughts on science-adjacent topics.

And here's is a list of journals in my field(s) that don't suck, based on my (own, possibly evolving) criteria. I hope it grows over time, it's still pretty bleak.
https://marioangst.com/en/blog/posts/journals-list/
- #sustainability Science
- Policy Studies / Political science #polsci
- #networkscience
- #digitalization research
- #socsci methods
Please, if you know of other journals in those fields that don't suck, let me know. And if you are involved with one of the journals on these lists, thanks so much for your work, you rock. And if you need reviewing or anything I can help with, let me know.
Packed room(s!) for the #networkscience talks of C. Djuurhus and Mikko Kivela at the @AiCentreDK! NERDS represent.
Datasci.social is a Mastodon server for nice and diverse people who are researching human-centric data science and adjacent topics such as human-centric network science, social data science, urban/geospatial data science, computational social science.

Policies must be flexible and responsive, adjusting to evolving conditions much like navigating an evolving trajectory in a high-dimensional state space. We can’t pretend to tell this to any decision maker, at least not in these terms, and scientists worldwide struggle to do their best to bring on the tables of policy and decision makers. They must be heard: their insights must inform decision-making at every level.

Anyone have good software/algorithms for visualizing large-ish, but combinatorial/mathematical graphs rather than "real-world networks"?
Say 20K nodes, ~500K edges, max degree ~300.
#introduction Hi! I am Jan. I work as a methodologist/data scientist/scientific programmer at Statistics Netherlands, working among other things on #NetworkScience. I am the author of a bunch of #rstats packages.
In my spare time I like to programme, play #dnd and build stuff: electronics, dioramas, 3d-printing, book binding...
Reminder that we've got a 3-year post-doc position open at the @invcomplexity, IT:U Linz, Austria, on complex systems and network science!
The deadline is Nov 30.
Please get in contact if you have any questions about the position.

Job alert!
Come join us at the Inverse Complexity Lab! @invcomplexity
We’re hiring a post-doctoral researcher to join our group at IT:U, Linz, Austria.
https://skewed.de/lab/call.html
Deadline is 30 Nov 2024.
We are looking for an early-stage or more advanced postdoctoral scholar who is interested in building on our ongoing projects, or developing their own research agenda related to inverse problems in network science, complex systems modeling, and/or connections to machine learning.
This position is not bound to a particular research project, and the successful applicant will enjoy intellectual independence and freedom to choose research topics.
We’re seeking applicants with a background in Physics, Computer Science, Statistics, Applied Mathematics, or related fields, and with an interest in interdisciplinary research.
This position is guaranteed for 3 years. The gross salary range is € 66,532 to € 72,000 (indexed for inflation), depending on previous experience.
The employment conditions in Austria include completely free health care (also for family members), social security benefits, 25 days per year of paid vacations, flexible working hours, and possibility of home office.
In addition, IT:U will provide a KlimaTicket—a unified transport pass which gives free access to the entire transportation system in Austria, including trains and local public transport.
IT:U is a brand new public university in Austria, which began operations with its first cohort of professors in 2024, and is devoted to interdisciplinary research. It is co-located with the Johannes Kepler Universität in Linz, at the Science Park campus.
Linz is the third largest city in Austria with a population of 200k, centrally located only 1h15m away from Vienna by train, and short connections to Germany, Italy, and other neighboring countries.
For more information, see the call at https://skewed.de/lab/call.html
Spread the word!
Hello world! We're a research group led by Tiago Peixoto (@tiago) at the newly founded IT:U, Linz, Austria.
We focus on inverse problems in network science and complex systems.

Our 95-page mega-review article is out on arXiv!
"Structural Robustness and Vulnerability of Networks" (by Alice C. Schwarze, Jessica Jiang, Jonny Wray, Mason A. Porter): https://arxiv.org/abs/2409.07498
This is a very ambitious article, which was led superbly by Alice. Hopefully, our article will guide research on this topic for a decade or more.
I’m looking for some interesting ideas for a data visualisation in which I could use a graph/network to explain a recent real-world event. Any suggestions?

Funny how things change...
The #network graph on the left below is how JD Vance's book "Hillbilly Elegy" was read mostly by the folks on the left political spectrum in 2017.
Whereas today, seven years later, the *very same book* is embedded in the readers that are on the right in the political spectrum.
The data is from Amazon (Kindle) showing people who read "Hillbilly Elegy" also read the certain other books in each graph.
