Are digital traces giving us a biased view of polarization? 🤔

New paper by Yijing Chen, @elisaomodei.bsky.social & co-authors shows that APIs capturing only visible engagement (💬 YouTube comments) may suggest stronger segregation than less visible forms (▶️ views).

Migration is shaping the future of our societies — but how can research help shape migration policy?
Last week, the #HumanMigration research group led by @rafaelprietocuriel.bsky.social hosted a three-part event series at the Complexity Science Hub to explore this pressing question.
