Fascinating study looking at the use of social contagion in spreading positive knowledge and practices through populations

Social contagion is a powerful force. People copy the thoughts, feelings, & actions of those to whom they are connected. Understanding social network structure & function makes it possible to use social contagion to intervene in the world to improve health, wealth, & learning.
