Paper alert! I'm going to share the story of my paper with @barabasi , "Recovery Coupling in multilayer networks" out today in @NatureComms rdcu.be/cHcDN #networkscience #resilience #research 👨🔬🧑💻A thread.🧵
People have been solving models for interdependent networks for a while. The math is elegant and the models can easily show a plethora of interesting dynamical phenomena. I even wrote a review on the subject link.springer.com/chapter/10.100… #resilience #infrastructure #physics
The trouble is, most models require that a power asset can fail and cause a communication outage AND that a communication outage can cause a power outage. The first is common. The second? Hard to find. Both at once? No one has ever reported it. 
#TodayinHistory in 1983, Benigno "#Ninoy" Aquino Jr., former #PH senator & one of the opposition leaders vs. #Marcos regime, is assassinated at the tarmac of the Manila International Airport (now NAIA), upon alighting aircraft. This sends shockwaves to the nation. (THREAD).
From the time he was elected to the #SenatePH in 1967, Ninoy Aquino was Marcos' staunch critic. Ninoy alleged that Marcos was putting up a "garrison state" & trying to extend rule beyond the presidential term limit. tmblr.co/ZtGCUx2C1Ozo-
