🚨 We organize a session on Global and Local Supply Chains at GEOINNO2026 — held at Corvinus University of Budapest. Supply networks are central to my research, and we welcome works on their role in development, innovation, and resilience. Submit by 14 July 2025 www.geoinno2026.com/session/s17-...

How much code now comes from AI? With @simonedaniotti.bsky.social, @xfeng.bsky.social & Frank Neffke we estimate that by end-2024 30% of Python functions pushed by US devs on GitHub are AI-generated. Adoption is rapid but diffusion lags globally. How did we do it? arxiv.org/abs/2506.08945

Hear our @lajello.bsky.social, interviewed by @keawilson.bsky.social, explain in The Brake podcast the motivation and results of our recent paper on highways and their significance to urban planning, with a "lovely" Italian accent 😄👌

🚧 Urban Highways: Fast Travel, But at What Cost? 🚗💔 A study by @sandorjuhasz.bsky.social et al. shows highways may speed up travel but disrupt social connections, especially over short distances (under 5 km). The research highlights how highways create barriers to social ties. 👉 shorturl.at/vXUFa

🎉 New paper in PNAS: Urban highways are barriers to social ties https://www.pnas.org/doi/10.1073/pnas.2408937122 Highways are barriers that cut opportunities for social ties. We quantify this effect by overlaying the US highway network with millions of social ties from Twitter.

"Urban Highways Are Barriers to Social Ties" out on PNAS! The 1st large-scale measure of how highways weaken social connections between the communities they separate. This barrier effect is strong in the 50 largest US cities--especially for low-income Black communities. www.pnas.org/doi/10.1073/...

🎉 New publication in PNAS: Urban highways are barriers to social ties www.pnas.org/doi/10.1073/... We illustrate from numerous aspects that highways are physical barriers that cut opportunities for social connections—in the 50 largest metropolitan areas in the US.
