The interdisciplinary nature of many research topics in network science may create barriers for communication with our other peer researchers in the same institution, due to the difference in e.g. research paradigm, as well as to get funding; [3/4]

As researchers, we can feel isolated: sometimes by being geographically remote from most international academic conferences and workshops or having limited funding to attend them; [2/4]

The second portion of the seminar is a discussion. Following an introduction from the speaker, we have a candid conversation about some topics related to the practice and experience of science and academia, where we invite dialogue and participation from the audience.

If you’ve never been to a NetPlace seminar before, here’s how it works. The speaker gives a 20-25 minute talk about their work, with time for Q+A. Next, it’s time to switch gears.

We’re excited to announce the line-up for our fall seminar series! We have three awesome speakers who will share their research and perspectives on the craft of science.

At NetPlace, we try to build spaces for junior researchers to come together to learn from each other and develop their craft. Our seminar series does just this, integrating the sharing of scientific knowledge and discussion about the process of science. We hope Ph.D. students from complex systems, network science, and interdisciplinary research in general will join us for a monthly talk and discussion.

Elena Candellone (Thursday, Oct. 2)
Louis Boucherie (Thursday, Nov. 6)
Haily Merritt (Thursday, Dec. 4)
