meeting again
great talk, .n- topology requires Orthoganal dimensions. I thought your talk was the only one of substance lets schedule a time to meet? thanks
dear jeff:
thanks for the kind words. i enjoyed meeting you; i had not known you were connected to john brockman, but i should have guessed!
as luck would have it, i am slated to be in NYC this coming thursday for a dinner and could meet before that, any time between 2 and 5, if that happened to work for you. otherwise, i could surely come back again within the coming weeks.
my lab has a number of foci at present: 1) the evolutionary biology and genetics of social networks and social interaction; 2) the experimental exploration, using online tools, of network structure and function in humans (how does network structure affect phenomena like cooperation, innovation, health, etc.); and 3) randomized controlled trials in the developing world of network 'targeting algorithms' aimed at enhancing spillover effects, so as to facilitate population-level behavior change by identifying and targeting influential people.
let me share three papers with you (one unpublished) that flesh out some of our work (specifically [1] and [2] above):
