Albert-László Barabási - Network science, breakthrough orientation, and a life made around discovery
Update: 2024-04-16
Description
Albert-László Barabási thinks in networks and his scholarship, as his life, is embodiment of the explorative, imaginative, and generative nature of networks. It would be difficult to imagine a person better suited to steward us through the innate and seemingly universal tendency of things to connect to each other and all of its implications.
