New preprint with @Rubashov3 and @jsegoviamartin: "Connect-while-in-range: modelling the impact of spatial constraints on dynamic communication network structures" #NetworkScience #SpatialModeling #NetworkTopology #AgentBasedModeling (thread: 1/9)
Preprint out: in the first publication from my PhD project, we model how position and movement in an environment influence the networks that can form between individuals. Information flow is not just a result of behavior, but also of physical constraints

For academics who have had to navigate early career stages with an unstable personal/romantic life/heartbreak(s), especially if they are far geographically from most of their support system, do you have any advice on how to do it? Does it ever get easier?

Do we store culture in our bodies? How do we transmit culture when it cannot be put into words? Fascinating essay by @HelenaMiton exploring how culture is often embodied and what it means for whether we can relearn lost cultural traits aeon.co/essays/how-do-… via @aeonmag

Read @HelenaMiton's latest piece on preserving cultural practices for Aeon, and then check out her Complexity Explorer tutorial on the practice of open science 🌟
Preserving culture isn’t as simple as writing down detailed instruction. @HelenaMiton for @aeonmag

Hey y'all, here's my latest attempt at general audience writing - I didn't choose the title, so please pretend it is only titled "How do we transmit culture when it cannot be put into words". Hope it'd be an enjoyable read!
