A prediction we made this morning:
"Interestingly, we also predict that the virus may invade multiple brain tissues, which may help explain to the loss of taste and smell in infected individuals. Has anyone seen evidence of further brain damage in COVID-194patients?"1/3
Happy 150th Birthday! This March I was asked by Nature to help design the journal cover for the 150 anniversary. It has a true honor and a fabulous journey, with several wondrous products, all released this week,
The first scientist was a woman! The term was coined for Mary Somerville, to avoid calling her a 'man of science'.

Happy XX Anniversary Scale-Free Model!
It was 20 years ago today that Réka and I had the email-fax exchange that resulted in the Barabasi-Albert model.
Luckily I saved the fax I sent to Reka from Porto, that, in a mixture of English and Hungarian, outlines the model.
In 1994, I borrowed a book about computer science from the IBM TJ Watson library, to read during the holidays.
Three weeks later, on January 17, 1995, I generated my first network visualization. 25 years later it was installed to open the Ludwig Museum exhibit.
YES, WE CAN predict artistic careers, after mapping out the invisible networks that govern prestige and value in art. Three year work with a fabulous team, published last week in Science! Read the paper: or Ch3 in

Why did we suggest the brain?
Because the COVID-10 protomodule is expressed in:
Frontal Cortex
Cortex
Hippocampus
Hypothalamus
Spinal cord
Anterior cingulate cortex
that is, virtually all brain tissues could be invaded by the virus.
