<p class="MsoNormal">Hi Chris! Thanks for setting this up and doing such a great job explaining the graph theory that you and Rebecca have been discussing. I would see more about how we can apply this to our internal communications program going forward, essentially
creating champions within departments to get the word out for us in a beehive effect- which would be amazing!

<p class="xmsonormal">Rebecca hosted a focus group; I attended and shared an idea about how network science could be used to improve internal communications. <o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="xmsonormal"> <o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="xmsonormal">The national academies press says,<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="xmsonormal"><span style="font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Verdana",sans-serif;color:#222222;background:#F0EEE4"> the common core of network science is the study of complex systems whose behavior and responses are determined by exchanges and interactions
between subsystems across a well-defined (possibly dynamic) set of pathways. The central point is that the behavior of a network is determined both by the pathways (structure) and by the exchanges and interactions (dynamics)</span><o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="xmsonormal"> <o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="xmsonormal">In a blog from Cornell University about “Graph theory and its application to Scientific Communication” it was noted,<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="xmsonormal"><span style="font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Verdana",sans-serif;color:#222222;background:#F0EEE4">These networks can be modeled as massive graphs…though simple and lacking in certain information, these graphs can provide a succinct way
to assess the level of collaboration a scientific social network facilitates…these networks allow for much faster and more efficient communication between scientists than ever before. In fields where collaboration is vital to the advancement of research (so
almost every field), such networks may become necessary.</span><o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="xmsonormal"> <o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="xmsonormal">Since the focus group there have been some “watercooler talks” and one meeting about this. Currently our communication could be modelled as
<i><u>something like</u></i> the following:<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="xmsonormal"><img border="0" width="392" height="207" style="width:4.0833in;height:2.1562in" id="x_Picture_x0020_1" src="cid:image002.jpg@01D60453.E81EFD30"><o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="xmsonormal"> <o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="xmsonormal">Lauren and Rebecca have asked me to create a mailing list, to improve our communication around this topic. I hope that by creating this list, in a short time our graph will look something like this:<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="xmsonormal"><img border="0" width="534" height="334" style="width:5.5625in;height:3.4791in" id="x_Picture_x0020_2" src="cid:image003.jpg@01D60453.E81EFD30"><o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="xmsonormal"> <o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="xmsonormal"> <o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="xmsonormal"> <o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="xmsonormal">It’s worth pointing out that as far as network science goes, the spatial arrangement of the nodes and edges in a graph are irrelevant. I just thought it appropriate to put Rebecca at the top, as she is the one spearheading internal communications.
<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="xmsonormal">So, Rebecca, et al. What’s next?<o:p></o:p></p>
