Tomorrow starts the biennial migration to the SIAM "Snowbird" conference on applied dynamical systems.
This is my favorite conference series!

Nice to see #NetSciX2025 kicking off. A good time to mention that in 2026 NetSciX will be coming to Auckland, New Zealand. Talk to @ProfMSmall who will be in India @NetSciX_2025 soon if you want to know more. Bookmark netscix2026.github.io for updates on CfP and program.

Nope. Never been to that conference. If I did go to a mathematics conference, and it looked like that, I’d assume I had the wrong venue.

Getting started publicising #NetSciX26 - the International School and Conference on Network Science - to be hosted in Auckland in Feb 2026. netscix2026.github.io Ever wanted to come to New Zealand? This may be your time. /cc @lespin @danielapaolotti @droneale @ProfMSmall

Really looking forward to finishing up the year with this event at @UWAresearch @uwanews UWA Data Institute. I’ve been thinking a bit about how complex systems, mathematics and #ai all connect. We know that it is all about #networks and #regression, but so what? @ComplexSystemsG

Just saw someone on twitter (yeah, X, whatever) complain about getting five review requests per week - I’m currently sitting at five per *day*! Either way, is it just me, or is the system breaking down?
English
@RowenaBall @monsoon0 @ComplexSystemsG I find this is more true in some sub domains than others. But, yes, it can still be an issue.
English
@ProfMSmall @monsoon0 @ComplexSystemsG True, that. But the structures of peer review are rooted deep inside the disciplinary silos, and the dwellers within exercise a siege mentality

Is this mathematics or physics? I always thought machine learning was optimisation theory…
The Nobel Prize@NobelPrize
The 2024 #NobelPrize laureates in physics used tools from physics to construct methods that helped lay the foundation for today’s powerful machine learning. John Hopfield created a structure that can store and reconstruct information. Geoffrey Hinton invented a method that can independently discover properties in data and which has become important for the large artificial neural networks now in use. Although computers cannot think, machines can now mimic functions such as memory and learning. This year’s physics laureates have helped make this possible. Using fundamental concepts and methods from physics, they have developed technologies that use structures in networks to process information.

@ComplexSystemsG @monsoon0 Nonetheless, cue the “this is not *real*
Physics$^{TM}$” comments…
English
@ComplexSystemsG @monsoon0 Prizes like this also draw attention to the arbitrariness of our academic discipline silos. The real advances, especially with computational technology such as we have, come from combining and talking across disciplines.

@KordingLab If I had a dollar for every paper I reviewed that constructed a correlation network from data, computed some fancy network measures and inferred an effect that could’ve been measured directly from the mean of the correlation matrix … I’d still not be a very well paid reviewer.
English
Finally the rename functional connectivity -> correlation network is happening.

Rather chuffed, unjustifiably so, at being ranked in the top 1% of scientists in the field of “Fluids and Plasmas”! I guess using the Lorenz equations makes me a fluid dynamicist. linkedin.com/posts/michael-…

@IAS_UWA @uwanews @DiscoverAMSI Great crowd and a fantastic mathematics event at @uwanews - really sad to be missing this one.
English
We have an excellent group of mathematics aficionados at @uwanews this evening to hear Prof Matthew Emerton, the 2024 Australian Mathematics Society Mahler lecturer, discuss The Theory of Numbers. @DiscoverAMSI

Really stoked to be funded under this scheme as part of @RMIT’s Mahdi Jalili’s project to: (a) electrify Australia; and, (b) train a cohort of researchers in the skills that Australia needs to do (a).

These are the best and brightest, they’ve studied for years, at least pay them a minimum wage.
