  7. Community structure of political blogs (2004) shown using a GEM layout in the GUESS visualization and analysis tool. The colors reflect political orientation, red for conservative, and blue for liberal. Orange links go from liberal to conservative, and purple ones from conservative to liberal. The size of each blog reflects the number of other blogs that link to it. From “The Political Blogosphere and the 2004 U.S. Election: Divided they Blog” by Lada Adamic and Natalie Glance

  8. From “The Collective Dynamics of Smoking in a Large Social Network” By Nicholas A. Christakis and James H. Fowler New England Journal of Medicine 358:21 (May 22, 2008)

  10. Where We Left Off… • Long tradition of technology in SBE Research • Shared infrastructure grew out of large-scale surveys and tradition of archives & sharing • Newest research infrastructure is solidly “cyber” and sustainable • Next-generation research to solve old and new research questions at new scales, while preserving confidentiality & privacy

  11. Where We’ve Come in 18 Months

  12. SBE science is multi-disciplinary, data intensive, and collaborative.

  13. SBE 2020 - Proposed Investments • Interdisciplinary research proposals reviewed by dedicated panels • Support for new data and cyberinfrastructure, starting with community building • Create new opportunities for interdisciplinary training

  14. Human Science Grand Challenges Societally-Informed Climate Models

  15. Global-Scale Epidemiological Models Avian Flu Timeseries www.nature.com

  16. Understanding Human Networks From “Entropy of Dialogues Creates Coherent Structures in E-Mail Traffic” By Jean-Pierre Eckmann, Elisha Moses, and DaniloSergi Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences 101(40): 14333-14337

  17. Visualization and Analysis Tools for Objects & Artifacts

  18. What Will this Require? • Multi-disciplinary modeling environments • Innovative approaches to CI for large quantities of distributed data • HPC environments customized for human science • Analytic tools for high-resolution digital representations of physical objects, drawn from diverse collections • Capacity to preserve confidentiality & privacy, especially for administrative & transactional data • Software improvements for statistical analysis of large data sets
