Albert-László Barabási, visiting scientist, Dana-Farber Cancer Institute

This just in from a SOCNET posting: Mathematician follows networks.. Barabási wrote Linked: How Everything is Connected to Everything Else, one of key books on my SNA/ONA reading list. What's marvelous about his thinking is that he sees the the isomorphic patterns of networks in natural systems (starting at the molecular level), in man-made systems (computer networks and grids), and human systems -- our social networks.

According to this article, he's just come to Boston for a year at the Dana Farber Cancer Institute, which offers him the opportunity to work closely with experimental researchers as he looks at the next great challenge: a theory of complexity.

Networks, complexity, relatedness. It just keeps entwining.
