Made a small app where you can explore aspects of what influences dark matter research: which dark matter models have a high impact, which authors impact discourse on which models, citation network with arXiv classification, et.c. I like it as a prototype: simonallzen.shinyapps.io/shiny/ #PhilSci

A little site on dark matter funding: simonallzen.quarto.pub/dark-matter-...
