Our final invited speaker is Prof @ryanreedhill.bsky.social from Northwestern Kellogg whose work spans the "pivot penalty" in careers, the impact of AlphaFold2 on science, the factors shaping occupation choice, and more!

Fantastic ICSSI Boulder lineup!

Wrote about a cool new study from @ryanreedhill.bsky.social on how AlphaFold2 transformed protein biology, and what that could mean for how AI affects other fields and jobs:

What Happens When AI Transforms a Specialized Field Overnight?
Before AI came for your job, it came for the biologists’. But the AlphaFold story offers a promising glimpse of the future of human–AI collaboration.

There is great excitement about the potential for AI to reshape science, but so far very little empirical evidence about how that is (or is not??) happening in real time. I'm excited to share a new working paper with Carolyn Stein about the impact of AlphaFold on science ->

The best way to think about academic publishing is that the creators are also the consumers. No one is “buying” our papers at the newsstand. Elsevier is basically a management company that gets a fee for running the peer-review process. If they charge too much, a competitor will replace them.

Very excited for our new publication in @nature.com about the difficulty of pivoting in science. In some sense, this project was my own "pivot" to engage more with a general science audience for the first time. Its really gratifying to see it in print.

With the excitement (delirium?) surrounding the rise of AI, it's more important than ever that scientists and journalists maintain an attitude of skepticism and dispassion about new findings as they arrive www.wsj.com/tech/ai/mit-...

I think Bluesky is a great platform and I’m here to stay. However, a bookmark function would make the experience SO much better and much more functional for research/ information gathering, especially for reporters. Pretty please @support.bsky.team @bsky.app ?

Another dead-end day of research effort. Obviously days like this are necessary to find feasible projects, but it’s hard to block out the constant tick of the tenure clock.

It’s odd to me that Americans are more religious on average than Europeans, but Europeans fully shut down their sports leagues for Christmas while American leagues are stacking more and more games on that date

Well, tried the deep-fried turkey idea… two thumbs down, would not recommend. Much prefer turkey breast in a slow cooker

Bluesky is a PBC (public benefit corporation) with the mission “to develop and drive large-scale adoption of technologies for open and decentralized public conversation.” From the start, our goal has been to build a decentralized social network that is usable by the mainstream.

What's the long-run business model for a "twitter-like" social media? My hunch is that it would optimally be something like non-profit Wikipedia.

I will hang out on this blue app only if you post absurd sci-fi, geography, and champions league takes in addition to your working papers. Thank you
