First blogpost

I’ve started a blog right here on this website (see here). I know the internet is already overflowing with blogs and other content, and the world certainly wasn’t waiting for yet another person eager to share their thoughts.

But honestly, this blog is, above all, a creative outlet for me. Writing my first post was a lot of fun, and if others find it interesting—great! If not, no hard feelings. 😉

That said, this first post took a surprising amount of work (a full workday, if we’re being honest—don’t tell my boss). So, I won’t be posting on a fixed schedule. Instead, whenever I have an interesting analysis that isn’t quite enough for a formal publication, a cool data visualization, or a neat tutorial on a model or algorithm—and, crucially, some spare time—I’ll share it here.

Speaking of which, my first post explores how to use Swiss public transport data to create a directed network. I plan to turn this into a series of blogposts, applying different network science concepts to that network.
