high school romance may have seemed like hard time served in prison.
New work by Brian Rogers (Professor of Managerial Economics and Decision
Sciences at the Kellogg School of Management) and Matthew Jackson (Professor
of Economics at Stanford University) shows that patterns of social relationships

shows that social networks share some core features that if manipulated
slightly can foster growth in vastly different networks capable of widely
varied functions.
