@masonporter Sad that I’ll be missing it this year.

And here we go! First position on my ERC grant is officially open. Fully funded 3.5 years PhD position at @NUnetsi London working with me and the @NPLab_
on modeling and reconstructing higher-order systems. Application deadline: 16th February 2025. https://t.co/HuzgquFa4B

@MLuczak @NetSciX_2025 One more flight away from NetSciX 2025!

[Michael Small @ProfMSmall]

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. https://t.co/hknIkT64GN 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

[Michael Small @ProfMSmall]

Well, that is splitting hairs… https://t.co/4nLO8W5kDs

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?

[Michael Small @ProfMSmall]

@RowenaBall @monsoon0 @ComplexSystemsG I find this is more true in some sub domains than others. But, yes, it can still be an issue.

[Michael Small @ProfMSmall]

@ComplexSystemsG @monsoon0 Nonetheless, cue the “this is not *real*
Physics$^{TM}$” comments…

[Michael Small @ProfMSmall]

@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.

[Michael Small @ProfMSmall]

@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.

[Michael Small @ProfMSmall]

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. https://t.co/u0LETzM9jn

[Michael Small @ProfMSmall]

@nomad_penguin Yup. Saw that, and had to double check.

[Michael Small @ProfMSmall]

@erogludnz @khasedutr @nodds_lab Looking forward to it!

[Michael Small @ProfMSmall]

Really looking forward to this one!

@IAS_UWA @uwanews @DiscoverAMSI Great crowd and a fantastic mathematics event at @uwanews - really sad to be missing this one.

[UWA @uwanews]

Discover how #UWA researchers are using a branch of maths known as ‘complex systems’ to help tackle real-world mental health challenges. 👩‍⚕️ ➕ 😊 @UWAresearch @ProfMSmall

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).

[UWA @uwanews]

Training centres to teach tomorrow’s quantum workforce, advance electrification of transport & homes, and drive the expansion & sustainability of horticulture. #UWA @BiolSci_UWA @arc_gov_au

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