Will surprise you with the facts about how viruses spread, how any two random twitterers are linked and how the whole world is a small world :)

SIR model is one of the oldest to model epidemics. One can be (S)usceptible, (I)mmune or (R)emovd. Disease becomes epidemic abv a threshold.

When you boil an egg, it goes from liquid to solid abruptly. Percolation theory was developed to explain that, now also used for epidemics!

I'm teaching "Networks" at Stanford again this quarter, my 7th run of the course with 100+ students, following the excellent Easley & Kleinberg textbook (and mega-class at Cornell!). Always a thrill. If you teach a related class, here's an awesome lecture trick… 🧵 1/

The networks that help us sometimes gets us in trouble!

If it is already not clear, Twitter is a scale-free network where the number of followers that the users have, follows a power law distribution. That's why @BarackObama (who follows me!) has 100k times more followers than me. This can never happen with Gaussian distributions.

When I was a kid I used to make this sketch: connect (1,0) to (0,10), (2,0) to (0,9), etc. I thought it was cool that these straight lines had a curved boundary. Now I know that this curve is called the *envelope* of the family of lines. What is this curve? 1/7

"A 2007 study by @jure and Eric Horvitz examined a data set of instant messages composed of 30 billion conversations among 240 million people. They found the average path length among Microsoft Messenger users to be 6"
What a small, but fascinating world we live in!
English
"Watts found that the average (though not maximum) number of intermediaries was around six."
English
We live in a small world, where pretty much everyone is separated by six degress of separation.

Leskovec et al. found the diameter of networks shrink as they grow. So the 6 in 6 degrees of freedom will slowly decrease!
