The InterPlex, a hybrid evidence-based publication and collaborative community, focuses on the interdisciplinary, intercultural, and interconnected. Follow us at: https://theinterplex.org/
7/ The InterPlex is in attendance alongside many researchers working at the frontiers of network science, epidemiology, computational social science, and AI. We look forward to sharing some of the conversations and ideas emerging from the conference with the InterPlex community.
6/ These connections between complexity science and societal challenges are also a central theme at @netsciconf.bsky.social, where ISI Foundation President, @nunetsi.bsky.social Director, and close Cattuto collaborator @alexvespi.bsky.social is one of the key organizers.
5/ Reflecting on this work, Cattuto notes that “the COVID experience was a test of fire” for a research pipeline spanning everything from data collection and modeling to forecasting and decision-making. Learn more in the full InterDialogue: buff.ly/2BEcie8
4/ This broad perspective is reflected in the interdisciplinary work of researchers such as Cattuto, who apply methods from complex networks and statistical physics to epidemic forecasting, public health interventions, and evidence-based policymaking.
3/ As Cattuto explains, computational social science involves studying “old and new questions in sociology and in the social sciences by using new data sources, new data streams, and new methods from network science, complex systems, increasingly AI.”
2/ Drawing on network science, machine learning, epidemiology, and complex systems theory—among other fields—researchers at ISI seek to understand challenges ranging from disease transmission and migration to inequality, urban mobility, humanitarian response, and sustainable development.
1/ "We try to embrace the full spectrum,” says Italian physicist and complexity scientist @ccattuto.bsky.social. In this new InterDialogue, Cattuto reflects on the evolution of computational social science and the interdisciplinary vision guiding his work as Scientific Director of @isi.it.
