NetPlace @netplace.bsky.social · 14d

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.

The last activity of the day was fun! Everyone used their best creative skills to come up with unusual projects. If you wanna know more about anti-aphrodisiac perfumes or dragon kingdoms, ask the winners 🐲🌊
