    Let’s set the record straight. Women work together & publish exceptional papers in @NatureNeuro. The papers are undercited due to implicit bias/structural inequality/discrimination. The solution, @NatureComms, is to address the problem, not advise all grad students to work w/ men

    The under-attribution of women’s contributions to science is well known & well studied. A measure of under-attribution is the under-citation of papers authored by women relative to expected rates. In a new @NaturePhysics paper we explore this citation gap in contemporary physics.

    Preparing for my favorite class of the semester. Who doesn't want to start their day with massive networks in rainbow colors? #NetworkScience

    Just published in @NatRevNeurosci "On the nature and use of models in network neuroscience" goo.gl/PU2PNB w/ P. Zurn and J.I. Gold. We draw on biology, philosophy and other disciplines to establish validation principles for network models.

    Could not be luckier to have had the chance to write a book with my twin @perryzurn titled "Curious Minds". Submitted today. What a feeling!

    The unfounded claims & discriminatory recommendations published in this paper are detrimental to all notions of equity in science.

    Many congrats to @annsizemore7, who w/ @jason_z_kim has studied the intricate & surprising dependence of higher order network organization on noise. They find that noise can be used to help, rather than hinder, our study of complex systems. arxiv.org/abs/2101.03933.

    Careful analyses compare papers published in high impact journals by men- and women-led teams. These papers represent excellent science. Still, within this pool, data show marked under-citation of women-led work. nature.com/articles/s4159…

    Network neuroscience isn’t simply a new way to study the brain. It's a way to get closer to the brain’s essence, how it truly works. wired.trib.al/ufY8B2s
