We had our final day of SICSS-Edinburgh today. Aybuke Atalay Christopher Barrie thank you for making this experience as informative and engaging as possible. Listening to Chris’ lectures was a delightful experience.

At INSNA #Sunbelt2023 I presented work with @andres9886 and @lariviev on "A global bibliometric perspective on the social structure of science" Erin Walk presented our work on "Scholarly migration and collaboration worldwide: A word embedding representation"
