2. Do university presidents matter? Do they steer resources towards research fields they come from? Zerin Dong's paper suggests yes and yes

Alright boys and girls, let's reboot this account and see what's going on over at #ICSSI2026! A thread 🧵... 1. Gross and Bergstrom with a deep slide: incentives for early stage evaluations (grants) different from late stage (papers)

“When we write grants, we aim to create suspense. When we write papers, surprise.” Kevin Gross at #ICSSI2026

Favorite joke/play on words at @icssi.org. @sampat.bsky.social, introducing the panelist, Lisa Margonelli, who is editor of issues in Science Technology: “You’re the editor of Issues in Science Technology…” beat “…well, science certainly has issues. Let’s talk about them” #SciSci #metascience
