The Higgs mechanism was proposed in 1964 by three independent teams. But here is the puzzle🤔: the "disruption index" says Higgs's paper is among the least disruptive ever. So what is going on? In our new paper, just out in #ScienceAdvances, we take up this puzzle: doi.org/10.1126/scia... 👇 1/7

Uncovering simultaneous breakthroughs with a robust measure of disruptiveness
An embedding-based disruption measure not only robustly captures disruptive works but also reveals simultaneous discoveries.

[New paper!] Mobility data are incredibly powerful, but also come with a long list of well-known biases (sampling, coverage, demographics, behavioral, etc.). In the paper, we survey them all and then zoom in on one that has been surprisingly underexplored: temporal bias. arxiv.org/abs/2601.22330
