Excited to share my latest working paper--with fab coauthors Robert Flynn, Raviv Murciano-Goroff, and Jiusi “Josie” Xiao --about the impact US-China tensions have had on three dimensions of science: STEM graduate student cross-border movement, cross-border knowledge flows, and productivity.

Excited to share new research published American Sociological Review with mabel abraham and Tristan Botelho. We explore how experiencing misrecognition—getting less or more recognition than deserved—influences how people subsequently evaluate others. journals.sagepub.com/doi/10.1177/00…

Wow! This project looks amazing. In it, three scientists at Columbia, Michigan, and Maryland introduce VRscores: a measure of the partisan leanings of employers in the United States. The dataset is constructed by linking U.S. voter registrations to online worker profiles.
