New paper alert!
My wonderful collaborator Julie Zook led on this study of an inpatient unit in a hospital in the US showing how greater levels of visibility in the spatial layout seems to support team communication
WOW!
The ig_degree_betweenness python module has hit 747 downloads just 2 days after its release!
If you work with social network analysis and want to detect clusters with two major popularity metrics, check out the ig_degree_betweenness - available in Python and R!

My own #Sunbelt2025 talk will be on Saturday 28th July (10am local time, room 112 - in case you're there 
) and will discuss space usage processes in buildings as a two-mode network between people and spaces (see the slide alt text for more info)
I'm talking in one of three sessions on Spatial and Geographic Social Networks organised by Clio Andris, Zachary Neal, Paul Schuler and Gil Viry - excited about so many lovely talks with a spatial angle
Excited to be travelling to Paris next week (train obviously) to attend the Sunbelt conference of the International Network of Social Network Analysis
It's my first Sunbelt since 2019 and I'm really looking forward to connecting with people and learning about latest research

It is time to populate my blog Space & Organisation again after many years of little activity (for various reasons).
Here's a summary of a podcast on #SocialNetworkAnalysis #SNA I was invited to by the wonderful @FranciscaOrtiz
You are my …
Social network metric data fun! Duplicate edges caught me off-guard for a little while when calculating but sorted now, thankfully!

Some social network analysis on Metroidvanias.
Data from https://www.reddit.com/r/metroidvania/comments/1dwqjp0/if_you_had_to_pick_5_of_the_best_metroidvanias/, two games are connected (with a weighted edge) when they appear in the same answer.
We arrange the games on the tiles, aiming to minimize the sum of (distance) * (weight). Hyperbolic geometry tends to be be good for this kind of visualization (closeness correlates to edge weight).
Tehora Rogue has run a community detection algorithm (using Gephi) on this network multiple times. This algorithm would find 4 to 6 communities in different runs, the 4 communities shown are based on aggregation of the results.
(There are "green" and "yellow" communities of sets of five games posted by "trolls" who have posted games not mentioned by anyone else, and the main genre splits into "blue" and "red" -- if you know these games, do you have any idea what the blue/red split could mean?
In the second picture, the red / blue / green components (excluding trolls) are determined by how often the game appeared in the same community as Iconoclasts / Cookie Cutter / Castlevania: Harmony of Despair. These three games were chosen because they frequently belonged to different communities.
Hi There, Fediverse. Me again!
My journey started off over at mastodonapp.uk in 2022 but decided to try and host my own #Mastodon instance with very little success.
This is my new home now. The kind folks at moth.social now have to put up with me.
But who are you? I'm #Christian in #Academia (#postdoc)
Interest in #DataScience, #SocialNetworkAnalysis, #Politics, and a bit of #CyberSecurtity
In my own time, you can find me #running or out #cycling on my bike in #SouthWales.
I am speaking at Sunbelt 2024 - Edinburgh. Please check out my talk if you're attending the event! #sunbelt2024 #edinburghsunbelt #heriotwattuniversity #scottishsunbelt #insna #socialnetworks #socialnetworkanalysis - via #Whova event app
I seem to recall that I saw a #SocialNetworkAnalysis of #Twentieth-centuryComposers here at some point, but unfortunately I can't find it anymore. Anyone knows anything?
Are there any nice network visualization tools like https://graphcommons.com/ that are #opensource? #networkanalysis #socialnetworkanalysis #dataviz
@broccoliccoli actually, here is a query I really like: https://tinyurl.com/2bkr5d93 it shows the connections between people based on dance performances they collaborated on in Flanders between 1980 and 2000. If you run it, and ask the "graph" visualisation instead of the table viz on the left, you can browse the network. #networkanalysis #sna #socialnetworkanalysis #dataviz
3 wonderful #SocialNetworkAnalysis conference days are over and I'm on my #ConferenceTravel back home. Once more the stunning Treno Gottardo, this time with a surprise as we exited the tunnel at Göschenen - snow!
But also the #SocialNetworkAnalysis community is just the best. 
This morning in a keynote talk when I felt I was the first one to be thrown off a rollercoaster of genius ideas because I couldn't follow anymore, that feeling of being lost (and maybe not belonging?) was instantly dispersed by the first two comments from amazing scholars who said that they couldn't follow much either.
TFW we're pushing intellectual boundaries together and recognising it's hard work

Day 3 of #SocialNetworkAnalysis Duality@50 conference is coming to a close.
After 3 days of intense discussions my brain feels very exploded - (mostly) in a good way.
Reminded how hard #interdisciplinarity is - I'm the only architecture scholar in a group of sociologists, psychologists, political scientists, mathematicians and statisticians and while it's super inspiring, I also translate in my mind all the time how everything I'm hearing might be relevant for my own domain
#AcademicChatter
Day 1 of the Duality@50 #SocialNetworkAnalysis conference is coming to an end. I've learnt so much, listened to brilliant talks, received great comments on my own work and had many inspiring conversations in the beautiful atmosphere of Lago Maggiore.
I've also spent several hours in bed in between for my #longCovid energy management and pacing.
Have learnt that Georg Simmel spent time here twice to rest and recuperate, so gladly continuing the tradition

Can you distinguish a corporate network from a terrorist network by just examining the network structure? If you think “yes” then which of the networks below is a corporate project team and which is a terrorist project team?
