We are aiming for CNWW to be held every other year, ODD years only. #CNWW2025 here we come! Networks, monastery life, and a vow of science!

(Random pictures from the archive of the Monastery.)

P.S. We are now also in the sky application as CNWW

"The Ising model celebrates a century of interdisciplinary contributions"

I studied the Ising model in my phd in statistical physics. It gave me concepts to talk with complexity folks in political science, psychology and more.

Any good Ising stories?
