The Net­work Sci­ence Insti­tute brings together an inter­dis­ci­pli­nary team of renowned scholars from across the uni­ver­sity to dis­cover and inspire new ways to mea­sure, model, and pre­dict mean­ingful inter­ac­tions in social, phys­ical, bio­log­ical, and tech­no­log­ical sys­tems. Its theme, “Solving Prob­lems in an Inter­con­nected World,” speaks to its com­mit­ment to develop inter­ven­tion strate­gies that will improve the health and secu­rity of people around the world.–COS News Article by Thea Singer
