hiv_transmission: HIV transmission network (1988-2001)
A set of networks of HIV transmissions between people through sexual, needle-sharing, or social connections, based on combining 8 datasets collected from 1988 to 2001.

If you’re still […] “these tools are unethical so I won’t use them”: you’ve not understood how things have already changed.

I used to always say that I don’t believe in coincidence, but when I identified/found my biological families, that changed. My adoptive brothers are named Rick & Jim. Turns out, I have 2 bio brothers I didn’t know existed. Their names are Rick & Jim. Isn’t that weird? #adoption

bookcrossing: BookCrossing ratings (2005)
Two bipartite networks representing people and the books they have interacted with, from the BookCrossing website. Nodes represent users and books, and an edge connects a user to a book they have interacted with.
