I spent the past semester building interactive teaching apps with AI-assisted coding. I used my personal website to share them with my students, but that makes them hard to find for other educators. So I built Galvoro — galvoro.app

🚨 80% of Nobel Prizes go to folx in 5 countries. Why? We analyzed 75 years of prize committees, nominators, nominees, and laureates... a network of 500k edges. Turns out nominators choose compatriots at 5x the expected rate — amplifying geographic bias. Read: osf.io/preprints/so... #AcademicSky

My first editorial in @science.org was published today: what to do (and, importantly, what NOT to do) when your grants are suddenly cut or research funding is uncertain. Please read and share! #AcademicSky #Science #Astronomy www.science.org/doi/10.1126/...

A lot of findings in this new paper, but one is the inevitable doom of traditional peer review: 1) AI creates a flood of papers, both good & bad 2) Paper complexity, a key screen and signal of quality for human work, is actually a signal of low quality for AI There's no plan for what comes next.

Thrilled to announce the Handbook of Computational Social Science is officially out! 956 pages, 118 authors, and truly global, interdisciplinary perspectives. Deep thanks to the contributors and anonymous reviewers who shaped this over 4 years. Buy your copy now! @elgarpublishing.bsky.social

As AI shapes what we see and believe, truth is under strain. @daniellecitron.bsky.social explores accountability in the AI age—how data systems amplify inequality and distort trust. See her at Datapalooza 11/14 hosted by @uvadatascience.bsky.social datascience.virginia.edu/events/datap...

Very good post. I very much agree with the overall position.
