Description
How are the research choices of scientists influenced by what appears to be fashionable at the time? Why do scientific research topics like these suddenly erupt from the labs and saturate the media? The partners in the CREEN (Critical events in evolving networks) project call these phenomena ‘scientific avalanches’.
