    As part of our twitter bot experiment, my class on social graphs and interactions tried use our robots to start a #turkeyface trend on Twitter for thanksgiving. Looking at these photos, I simply don’t get why this meme didn’t take off 🙂

    It’s not just the network structure that we care about. We want to understand network structure in order to get a handle on processes taking place on networks. That kind of processes is what next week’s two exciting (Monday and Tuesday October 6th and 7th, at 11am @ DTU) talks focus on. Both talks are…

    I often give the following writing advice to my students. Today, in honor of efficiency, I decided I’d put my advice in a blog post, so I can just link to it in the future. Unless you’re a great writer (in which case you don’t have to follow any rules), the structure of academic text is…

    With 29 pages of text and 9 pages of references, the new paper we’ve just put on arXiv is almost big data in its own right (ok, not quite, but it’s still a nice, big chunk of work). The paper outlines all the work we’ve done over the past couple of years to put together…
