At the 15th Illicit Networks Workshop, organised by @behas.bsky.social & @rafaelprietocuriel.bsky.social, scholars and analysts from around the world explored organised crime, gangs, #corruption, and more. #Crime is changing: borders matter less, and #AI is shifting what's possible.
When researchers move, knowledge moves with them. 🧪 But what determines where they go? A study co-authored by Ola Ali from the Complexity Science Hub tracks the early-career #mobility of 172,000 scientists from 1996-2020 to shed light on this. 👇🧵 #AcademicSky #PhDSky

The path to your own identity as a researcher is long and winding. So who better to learn from than someone who's walked it? Huge thanks to our faculty member @behas.bsky.social for talking to our #PhDs and #Postdocs on finding your way in academia and beyond. You were in high demand! #AcademicSky
When it comes to #migration from #Africa to the #EU, there are large gaps between the narratives ("irregular entries predominate") and the data (they don't). Migration experts Rainer Münz and Jemal Yaryyeva gave a public talk at the CSH to present the latest figures. #migrationresearch
