Topics discussed were diverse & balanced. Lots of theories, methods, applications in various domains. I greatly enjoyed diversity & balance. People also seemed enjoying interactions with folks from other disciplines. This is @2019netsci. (1/5)
I witnessed at many scenes that researchers (both established and young) actively challenged well established views/assumptions/research questions to move NetSci to novel directions. Thanks to this, I felt no stagnation of NetSci as a field. (2/5)
It was clear there were a number of next-generation young scientists emerging and doing very cool stuff in network science. This was very encouraging, and often their presentations were more interesting than others :) (1/5)
I felt that the scope of applications are expanding, and people are using fairly advanced modeling/analysis methods in each application. I will need to do some homework to catch up (2/5)
