What makes a city feel alive? A new study in 𝘗𝘕𝘈𝘚 𝘕𝘦𝘹𝘶𝘴, with contributions from @riccardodiclemente.com, rethinks urban vibrancy through ecology and retail science. The key idea: cities thrive through activity diversity, much like ecosystems thrive through biodiversity. tinyurl.com/uuc3cja3

Chapter 12: @fedebotta.bsky.social from @exetercompsci.bsky.social on online images and computational social science. A fascinating chapter on how images shared online can help us study politics, misinformation, culture, & collective behaviour and why visual data deserves a much bigger place in CSS.

Check out Zihao's new paper below! We have a close look at geographical inequalities in timetabled journeys by bus in England, and uncover how travel time variability affects different areas of England. Lots more to come on this!

Honored to lecture at the 10th-anniversary edition of MSCx and to join such an incredible lineup of speakers. Having participated in 3 past editions, I can say MSCx stands out not only for its academic excellence but also for its vibrant group dynamics - Mediterranean vibes surely play a role! 😀
