Last week’s Complex Networks conference in Lisbon was exactly as cool as I expected. Three days full* of outstanding talks, inspiring discussions, and meeting new people and old acquaintances. During the conference, I did quite a bit of live tweeting. So, this post is essentially a collection of my Twitter threads from Complex Networks. Check them if you missed the conference or just want to recap some of the talks! Many of the talks were based on open data and introduced publicly available tools. I’ve tried to include the details in the tweets.
I’ve written all the tweets in quite a hurry during the conference. So, there are a bunch of typos and weird formulations (some of them are pretty interesting: who writes ‘code’ instead of ‘go’?). Sorry for this!
Keynotes:

The talk by Catharina Graafland from this session is placed very weirdly in the thread. But one can find it here:

* Excluding the afternoon I took off to enjoy the beautiful Lisbon old town. That was definitely worth of a couple of missed talks.
