I always wondered how science journalists choose to describe scientists (mention name? institution?) Work led by Hao Peng (and David Jurgens is now on BlueSky only & me) studies this at scale: Journalists less likely to mention scientist's name if name not Anglo direct.mit.edu/qss/article/do…

[1/13] LLMs are increasingly skilled at mimicking human agents in social settings, but have they truly developed a consistent personality? Check out our work accepted to #NAACL2024 where we question the reliability of persona tests applied to LLMs. Arxiv: arxiv.org/abs/2311.09718

Rejection is common in science, but who navigates manuscript rejection more successfully and avoids the “file drawer”? Check out this new work 🔥🔥🔥

Authors from Western countries navigate the peer-review system more successfully than those from other nations go.nature.com/4bwbQd4

My new PNAS paper with Daniel Romero ! 😎 With open data everywhere, how can we creatively unlock its potential for impactful innovation? We show that unusual combinations of datasets lead to more impactful discoveries, yet even simple combos remain rare. pnas.org/doi/10.1073/pn…

Podcasts are a popular medium, but data for computational research is limited! We introduce the Structured Podcast Research Corpus (SPoRC - huggingface.co/datasets/blitt…), a large, multimodal dataset of English podcasts 🧵 arxiv.org/abs/2411.07892

Super fun conversation, thanks Juan and Abel!!! Hope the listeners enjoy it as much as I did 🎉

How do scientists choose which topic to study? Studies of this are dispersed across fields, and it's surprisingly hard to find a review. Fortunately Sidney Xiang has written a fantastic one, focusing on literature in economics and sociology (link in next comment)

🚨 Our latest paper is out today in Science! We uncover stark and systematic partisan differences in the amount, content, and character of science used in policy, which mirror differences in political elites’ trust in science. Four years in the making. Led by Zander Furnas 1/n

Disco[very] Lab in action! And a bittersweet send off for the newly-minted professor Inna Smirnova 🥲

Conventional wisdom says interdisciplinary research is valuable but harder to get through peer review (need to please diverse reviewers, etc). In new PNASNews paper, Sidney Xiang Daniel Romero and I partnered with IOP Publishing to test this wisdom and add nuance (1/3)
