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)

Do you use a classroom activity to help students understand networks? Share it with others in Connections!

Submit your abstract (up to 300 words) to [email protected] by 15 September 2025

We invite abstracts for short papers describing an interactive classroom activity designed to illustrate, demonstrate, or reinforce network features or processes. Submissions are welcome for activities designed:
• for teaching about any network feature or process
• for any level of student (e.g., high school, undergraduate, graduate)
• for any discipline (e.g., social science, natural science)
• for any course (e.g., specialty course on networks, general course with a module about networks)

We especially encourage abstracts co-authored by instructors who have designed/used the activity and students who have participated in the activity.

Authors of selected abstracts will be invited to submit a full paper in Spring 2026. Invited submissions will be peer-reviewed, and accepted papers will be published open-access in Connections at no cost to the author.

Submit your abstract (up to 300 words) to zpneal@msu.edu by 15 September 2025
