Many social relationships are short-lived, but little is known about the factors that affect their emergence and duration. Our new paper https://t.co/clx5OdINPK with @MailunZ, @simonecent, @Sam_GB_Roberts, @brulepri, and @lopezmodeler examines these factors.

[Valentín Vergara Hidd @Nitnelav]

5/5 Overall these results suggest that transient alters are an important part of people’s social networks, with alters with a longer lifetime receiving a greater volume of calls early in the relationship and consistent findings across three countries

[Valentín Vergara Hidd @Nitnelav]

4/5 The eventual lifetime of these alters can be predicted from the volume of communication in the early part of the relationship (between 30 and 60 days), suggesting a ‘sorting process’ early in the relationship of alters with different lifetimes

[Valentín Vergara Hidd @Nitnelav]

3/5 Across all three countries, the volume of communication to groups of transient alters is stable over the lifetime of the alter, with those relationships that last longer (a long lifetime) receiving a greater call volume than those with a short lifetime

[Valentín Vergara Hidd @Nitnelav]

2/5 Some social relationships only last a short time, but how do communication patterns in these relationships change over their lifetime. In this new @SciReports paper we examined these 'transient alters' using mobile data from UK, US and Italy

Stephen Hawking Dies at 76; His Mind Roamed the Cosmos https://t.co/XBbNxGfAfW

[University of Oxford @UniofOxford]

We’re very proud to call Stephen Hawking an alumnus of Oxford, and enormously saddened by his passing. Our thoughts are with his family. He reminded us all to “be curious”, for there is “always something you can do and succeed at”.
