sp_high_school_new: High school dynamic contacts (2011-2012)
These datasets contain the temporal network of contacts between students in a high school in Marseilles, France. The first dataset gives the contacts of the students of three classes during 4 days in Dec. 2011, and the second corresponds to the contacts of the students of 5 classes during 7 days (from a Monday to the Tuesday of the following week) in Nov. 2012.
This network has 180 nodes and 45047 edges.

When, in 2024, Chinese scientists reported developing an artificial-intelligence tool to design conotoxins, it raised eyebrows in some quarters.
In an e-mail to a private AI and biotechnology discussion group seen by Nature, a senior US government employee flagged the study as a possible biosecurity risk.
The employee, who asked not to be named because of concerns for their job, felt it was especially concerning that the conotoxin AI is based on an open-source protein language …

AI can design viruses, toxins and other bioweapons. How worried should we be?
Scientists are debating whether to limit biological AI software to ward off threats.

Another really cool feature I designed for NATS - a distributed CRDT based counter.
Distributed meaning infrastructure at a factory floor can have local counts that flows up to regional and global levels via stream replication and eventually end up at a global count. Seperate clusters all contributing to the total with regional/location views.
You can choose to have auditable counts etc

cintestinalis: Tadpole larva brain (C. intestinalis)
Entire connectivity matrix for the complete brain of a larva of Ciona intestinalis. Each directed edge represents a synaptic connection from pre-synaptic cell i to post-synaptic cell j (may not be a neuron). Edge weights represent the cumulative depth of presynaptic contacts in µm.
This network has 205 nodes and 2903 edges.

contact: Haggle human proximity network (2006)
A network of human proximities, as measured by carried wireless devices. Each node represents a person, and an edge denotes when two people were within a certain proximity of each other, as measured by a wireless protocol (Bluetooth or Wifi). The edges are timestamped.
This network has 274 nodes and 28244 edges.
