This was a long and fantastic project led by Takahiro Yabe with the team of Bernardo Garcia-Bulle, Morgan Frank, and Alex 'Sandy' Pentland

📣 New work! Places, businesses, and amenities depend on each other. Using massive human mobility data, we unravel that behavioral-based network of dependencies, important for resilient planning, policy-making, and urban design.

Lifestyles of urban dwellers connect places & businesses really far away. Dependency between businesses goes beyond the traditional "proximity" paradigm. That long-range structure improves predictability of urban shocks (e.g., COVID19) by 40%.

• One of the most crucial pieces of information about a potential student is why they are interested in research positions. Why do you like research? Sometimes, I asked them, "What is your favorite paper?" It was fascinating to listen to their (great!) answers.
• Your background is really important. Talk about it.

During the last weeks, I have been meeting with (~20) students interested in funded positions at my new SUN group
at the Network Science Institute. It was an enriching experience. Here are some thoughts (1/2):

- Most students prepare really well for the meeting! Slides, research ideas, etc. Be ready!
- ChatGPT is here; it is obvious and sometimes helpful. But, please, don't use it for your first communication with other people.
