People have no idea of the extent of the destruction happening in the scientific community. There is no real-time feedback loop like the stock market. But, man, are we shooting ourselves in the foot. Decades to build; months to destroy.

Across the country, there is growing momentum among states to support local news, not as a bailout but as essential civic infrastructure that communities can’t afford to lose. via Jon Allsop at The New Yorker newyorker.com/news/fault-lin…

New CHIP50 report on public approval of government interventions in science -- funding cuts, mass layoffs, etc. On average, over twice as many Americans disapprove of these actions as approve.National Academies AAAS Science News Scientific American Science Magazine International Communication Association chip50.org/reports/americ…

Average approval of science-related government actions is highest among Republicans (42%), men (28%), graduate degree holders (30%), and high-income respondents (31%). Disapproval is strongest among Democrats (74%), African Americans (56%), women (53%), and those aged 65+ (55%).

This report comes from the Civic Health and Institutions Project (CHIP50), which recently won an aapor survey methodology award. With 🇺🇦 [email protected] Roy Perlis Mauricio Santillana Matthew Baum and others.

How does social network structure amplify or stifle behavior diffusion? Turns out, complex contagions are more complicated than we thought … (1/7)

Even with strong social reinforcement random networks spread behavior better than clustered networks. Clustered networks outspread random networks in only a small region of the space we model and mostly only when behavior is near deterministic (4/7)

The basic pattern is a tradeoff: reaching more people via random ties or exploit social reinforcement via clustered ties. Paper with Allison Wan 🇺🇦 [email protected] Christoph Riedl (7/7) pnas.org/doi/10.1073/pn…
