Scientists break down the tape to predict players’ next moves The NetSI Sport research group uses network science to treat sports analytics like conversations. Its grammar can predict what's said next.

What if soccer worked like a language? Research led by Brennan Klein, an assistant teaching professor, uses network science to analyze player interactions and predict how games unfold, with insights beyond sports. 🧪

How string theory helped solve a mystery of the brain’s architecture Using the same math deployed in string theory, network scientists have solved a standing mystery about the brain’s architecture.

Are neurons wired in the most efficient way? Researchers at the @netsciconf.bsky.social found that math used in string theory can help explain why neural connections branch and curve instead of taking straight paths. 🧪

Revealing interactions between microbes, metabolites, and dietary compounds using genome-scale analysis - Microbiome Background The role of gut microbiome in predicting diet response and developing personalized dietary recommendations has been increasingly recognized. Yet, we still lack comprehensive, genome-based i...

To understand how food molecules shape the gut #microbiome and human health, we need to go beyond species abundance and adopt a mechanistic, system-level view powered by #NetworkScience
