1/9 On our last day at #ICSSI, we’re excited to share our reflections on how scientists could use the metaverse. It can improve the accessibility of scientific laboratories and meetings, aid in reproducibility efforts, and provide new opportunities for experimental design.

“The curse of knowledge:” the more you know, the worse you write. We tend to write more abstractly, passively & technically when writing about topics we know well, and don't notice it. This lower comprehension & citation counts. Appendix B has good tips: journals.sagepub.com/doi/suppl/10.1…

Today is the day!! Kellogg launches its first research institute, Ryan Institute on Complexity, thanks to a transformative $25M gift! I am deeply honored & humbled to have the opportunity to help found and direct this new institute! kellogg.northwestern.edu/news/blog/2023… 🚀🚀🚀

The Ryan Institute on Complexity is launched! An investment in innovation research, and in the ‘lab model’ for social science. Huge thanks to the Ryan family for betting on this work. And I’m so excited to work with Dashun Wang and Brian Uzzi to take this forward.

What is the state of academic science? It’s hard to tell with so many unobservables… so, we ran a big survey at ~150 US institutions to generate new findings about professors and their research. Our first draft is out with 7 key (preliminary) results using this new data:

📣Plans for the 2024 ICSSI conference are in motion, promising a gathering of minds for interdisciplinary discussions and collaborative exploration. The conference will be at the National Academy of Sciences in Washington D.C. July 1-3. Mark your calendars! 📅 #ICSSI2024
