Now there is talk of running this again, at a much bigger scale. We think our paper (with @jeanetbentzen.bsky.social & Lena Sperling) is a decent guide to what to expect. For additional coverage: www.aeaweb.org/research/rel...

An inflection point? 🤔 "The share of people telling pollsters they are irreligious has stopped growing" in many countries (cites @jeanetbentzen.bsky.social, Ryan Burge, @pewresearch.org's Stephanie Kramer & Gregory Smith, Pippa Norris, David Campbell, Andreas Sandberg). The Economist, June 14 2025

Wild to realize Bluesky has more than doubled its user count in <2 months to 12.5M users. Growth is kinda crazy, the spikes are significantly larger now and despite having 6M users 2 months ago we're still capable of this kind of massive growth in such a short time. Glad to have you all here.
Users over time chart for the past 60 days starting at 6.22M users on August 22nd, jumping sharply at the end of august, then steadily increasing up until 3 days ago where we have another sharp jump.

Marie Curie didn't necessarily aim to hire women in her lab, but she didn't have anything AGAINST women, and so ended up creating a network of more than 45 women trainees who changed (and are still changing) the course of science. By @clarakm.bsky.social with Dava Sobel on her new book 🧪

Marie Curie is well known for her chemistry achievements but less so for helping other women succeed in science

Here's an excerpt from my decision letter on a paper that may have cited non-existent papers hallucinated by an LLM. I hope it's fair. This is uncharted territory for me.

I have written a post on the work of Acemoglu, Johnson, and Robinson. When assessing their contribution, it is important to appreciate how much their perspective has extended the scope and relevance of economics compared to where it was 20 years ago. www.optimallyirrational.com/p/expanding-...
