Hola Vueling Airlines , me explicas por qué no puedo hacer el check-in online de mi vuelo de Atenas a Barcelona el próximo martes? Lo que me dice vuestra app que en Atenas no se admite no es cierto, ayer volé con tarjeta de embarque en móvil sin problema.

New paper on Physical Review Research: Signatures of criticality in turning avalanches of schooling fish journals.aps.org/prresearch/abs…

Signatures of criticality in turning avalanches of schooling fish, Andreu Puy, Elisabet Gimeno, David March-Pons, M. Carmen Miguel, and Romualdo Pastor-Satorras Universitat Politècnica de Catalunya (UPC) Universitat de Barcelona Facultat de Física UB #SoftMatter go.aps.org/3XAsBQv

Collective behavior seminar at Facultat de Física UB ! “The power of inhibition for collective decision making in minimalistic robot swarms” by Andreagiovanni Reina Giovanni Reina Aula E. Fontserè, Facultat de Física, Universitat de Barcelona Thursday 3rd October, 14h

At least two seminars tomorrow in BCN, Saúl Ares and Giovanni Reina Different times, different places, different complexity, no overlap! A very complex day! Barcelona Collaboratorium Romualdo Pastor-Satorras Facultat de Física UB x.com/Romu_PS/status…

Now that we see applications of AI in many different disciplines is the perfect day to remember where are the basics. Emergence is the word, searching in a self-organized way for optimal configurations. Statistical physics. #NobelPrize

🔉 COMUNICADO ESPECIAL AMETSE ⚠️ Ante la noticia que hemos conocido hoy relativa a la apertura de un proceso penal contra la presidenta de AEMET por lo sucedido en Valencia el pasado 29-O, desde la asociación meteorológica del Sureste-AMETSE queremos manifestar lo siguiente:

🚨 We are thrilled to announce our first lecturer at #Complexity72h Introducing Romualdo Pastor-Satorras (Romualdo Pastor-Satorras), an expert in non-equilibrium statistical physics, condensed matter theory and complex systems analysis, from Universitat Politècnica de Catalunya (UPC). Join us in Madrid: complexity72h.com

New paper on Physical Review E: Leveraging spurious Omori-Utsu relation in the nearest-neighbor declustering method journals.aps.org/pre/abstract/1…

The nearest-neighbor method can falsely identify aftershocks in #earthquakes when there are none, this study suggests. The work also presents an improved method that can discern Omori-Utsu laws generated by a triggering event and those that aren’t. 🔗 go.aps.org/4hGr82U

Social network heterogeneity promotes depolarization of multidimensional correlated opinions, Jaume Ojer, Michele Starnini, and Romualdo Pastor-Satorras #Networks #StatisticalPhysics go.aps.org/41xkeqT

Last paper out on Physical Review Research with Jaume Ojer & Romualdo Pastor-Satorras! How do 1) the interplay between different topics discussed at the same time and 2) the topology of the underlying network affect the transition from opinion polarization to consensus? journals.aps.org/prresearch/abs…

Last paper out on Nature Human Behaviour: Has political polarization increased in the last decades because individuals changed their minds about fundamental issues, or have they simply sorted themselves into parties matching their ideology more closely? nature.com/articles/s4156…

So looking forward to LANET !

Hello Science Advances! I’ve been waiting for six months the referee reports for my paper. Should I wait much longer??

Ja teniu a #ZonaVideoUPC el vídeo de la jornada en línia del passat maig sobre Intel·ligència Artificial i Comunicació Clara que vaig fer a la Escola d'Administració Pública de Catalunya EAPC ICE-UPC zonavideo.upc.edu/multimediaobje… Un plaer espero ajudin els materials a tothom! 😅

One year in the making, eight authors, a truly collaborative effort. It's been a lot of work, but we hope the community will like it. Comments welcome, RT appreciated!
