#TeamFollowBack: Detection & Analysis of Follow Back Accounts on Social Media
Follow back accounts inflate their follower counts by engaging in reciprocal followings. Such accounts manipulate the public and the algorithms by appearing more popular than they really are. Despite their potential harm, no studies have analyzed such accounts at scale. In this study, we present the first large-scale analysis of follow back accounts. We formally define follow back accounts and employ a honeypot approach to collect a dataset of such accounts on X (formerly Twitter). We discover …

Cell Motility in Cancer, Crucial Events, Criticality, and Lévy Walks
The analysis of glioblastoma (GB) cell locomotion and its modeling inspired by Levy random walks is presented herein. We study such walks occurring on a two-dimensional plane where the walk is similar to the motion of a bird flying with a constant velocity, but with random changes of direction in time. The intelligence of the bird is signaled by the instantaneous changes of flying direction, which become invisible in the time series obtained by projecting the 2D walk either on the x axis or the…

#Podcast: The Incomparable 700 A Dark Totoro - A Panel With Mixed Feelings <https://alpo.gitlab.io/jots/posts/2024/02/the-incompara…

Snake video 👇🏽 (none of my clients were able to attach both videos to this post).
