I've got so so many project ideas from #netsci2026 but now I have to somehow finish the ones I was already working on first 😔

It was surreal seeing my research presented today to the whole of @netsciconf.bsky.social. A huge congratulations to @barabasi.bsky.social on receiving the Euler Award. Excited to see how network design grows (or should I say assembles?) in the field! Preprint coming very very soon…. #NetSci2026

Pumped to be at #NetSci again this year! I’ll be in the poster session tomorrow sharing preliminary work on reconstructing network statistics. And make sure to check out my collaborator Jasper van der Kolk’s talk Wednesday at 5 pm in Harvard Square B on our work assembling reproducible networks!

So excited to share that I successfully defended my dissertation and am now “Dr. Cory”! Thank you to all my collaborators, labmates, cohortees, friends and family who supported me in this journey. I found my scientific home at Northeastern and am proud to call myself a network scientist. #phd #netsi

And this approach works really well! Because these nodes are both weak and well-connected, they can prevent a cascade before it's too late and better than many existing algorithms! 7/7

Cory Glover @cory-glover.bsky.social · 16/07/2025
The critical set (green nodes) is the set of nodes they argue to protect. These nodes are both are fragile, implying they are not resilient to attacks. Secondly, these nodes have degree larger than the critical degree, implying they are well-connected enough to potentially start a cascade. 6/7

Cory Glover @cory-glover.bsky.social · 16/07/2025
By coloring the network, the network gets subdivided into distinct groups. The average degree of each group is calculated and the smallest average degree of all the groups is called the critical degree. The critical set is then the fragile nodes with degree greater than the critical degree. 5/7
