The new Twitter is changing rapidly — study it before it’s too late

Social-media researchers overemphasized the platform now called X for years. But now, as it rapidly changes into something new and frightening, we risk paying too little attention.

Sometimes there’s intention and sometimes it’s just luck (more often than I like to admit). You don’t have to be a good photographer to take good photographs. That’s a big part of my motivation. I’m outside with the birds, and I have my camera. Let’s just see what happens.

Claudia Goldin wins Nobel economics prize for work on gender gap

Wonderful!

I would love to learn more about Claudia Goldin’s contributions than I can glean from the press. Anyone in the know and could point to a great high-level paper of hers I might read? While I’d love to read the 1990 book, that’s more than I have bandwidth for right now.

What a great start into the weekend - reviewing a paper, preparing 2-3 pages of feedback and than having to reset the password and not having the paper in the reviewer center anymore. #publisher #lostthetrack #research #publishing #wiley
