Here is our latest study on how researchfunding models could undermine the uptake of data sharing. In the short term, more competitive #grants may lead to higher rates, but more distributive grants allows for a more sustainable long term outcome sciencedirect.com/science/articl…

At the #BehaveSchool2025 on agent-based #computational #simulation modelling in Brescia!

Nice to have opened the second day of the #Complex Systems French Society today with a talk on #peerreview!

Our team had a meeting on #ABM #computational #simulation #modeling at NYU to explore sinergies and complementarities on research on #human #behaviour #networks

Don't miss the chance to learn how to design, test, analyse, share & communicate #ABM @netlogo @comses #computational #modeling #simulation #networks with our @LaStatale @unibs_official team and enjoy #Brescia #Italy on 1-12 September 2025. Here's the call abmschool.behavelab.org

Do you want to learn how to apply #computational methods to study social and political #dynamics? We have a new Master's programme in #Milan. Join the presentation of this programme on 27 May 11:30 CET time by registering to the link below! cosp.orientamentounimi.it/en/dettagli_...

Check out this latest paper of mine where we explore the role of #money as a means to allow #human #societies to generalise #reciprocity and make #cooperation an evolutionarily stable outcome. Any comment is super welcome! papers.ssrn.com/sol3/papers....

How can we better #communicate complex Agent-Based Models to those who need them most? Zenith Arnejo’s #scopingreview reveals key gaps and strategies to boost #abm transparency, trust, and impact toward stakeholders. Watch the teaser!

Nice discussion at a GREDEG seminar with an #economists audience where I have presented a recent #evolutionary #gametheory paper on #money as a mechanism of generalized #reciprocity. Stay tuned for the paper, coming out soon!

How can we evaluate #healthpolicy that depends on life-course outcomes like retirement savings, wealth, or debt? Meet LHIEM—a novel #microsimulation combining path dependency & yearly dynamics for realistic policy insights!

We have a new Master programme in Computational Social & Political #Science in #Milan! It covers #quantitative #experimental #computational methods incl. #LLM #networks #machine learning #stats #ABM #simulation. Join us in #Milan from Sept 2025: www.unimi.it/en/education...!

Super happy to present my latest paper "The Devil’s Dung? #Money as a mechanism of generalized #reciprocity" on 17 April at GREDEG CNRS seminar in Nice! gredeg.univ-cotedazur.fr/seminaire-gr...

Join our #BehaveSchool25 on #ABM agent-based #computational #modelling on 1-12 September 2025 in #Brescia #Italy with a fantastic faculty incl @tatianafilatova.bsky.social @federicobianchi.bsky.social and many others abmschool.behavelab.org

Margherita Criveller has successfully defended her #PhD dissertation on #mercenaries #networks in #Italy #Renaissance today at the University of #Milan. Congrats!

A new start has born! There's a new Master's Degree in #Computational Social & Political Science at the University of Milan. A 2 years training in #quantitative & computational methods to study social and political dynamics. In English. The call for applications is open here csps.cdl.unimi.it/en

Excessively tranchant! I have spent much time editing an independent #journal in the last 10 years, and I have always seen civilised dialogue between experts. Sure, reviewers are imperfect, but so are authors (and editors). We are the same people, I mean. Who is perfect? Do we have a silver bullet?

Thanks to @easeeditors.bsky.social for sharing a recent @jasssjournal.bsky.social editorial note on the importance of #peerreview. Here is the note: www.jasss.org/28/1/6.html

The more I read about #primates the more I think that a #primatology #animal #behaviour class should be introduced in all #sociology curricula. Less #digital hype and futurologies, more #evolution and better focus on long-term society/environment processes! www.science.org/content/arti...

Nice seminar today at #Unimi in Milan on #lifecourse trajectories and long-term #inequalities by @stefanischerer.bsky.social!
