So we're about to live with fewer and fewer humanists in the workforce.

Have there been studies of the effects of this on society?

How much of those ideas get shifted into stem curriculum?

Has anyone come up with a way to quantity all this?

🚨 Is novel research worth doing?🚨

There are serious concerns about slowdown in innovation. Are institutions to blame? In science, does peer review discourage novel work?

Paper with @haoopeng @mrblasco and
@klakhani finds the opposite!

Google insiders explain why Google launches many products and then abandons them.

Hint: It has to do with chasing promotions. 🤦‍♂️

Short stories and novellas revolve around a single sequence of events, while novels contain more subplots. Can we see this quantitatively by examining word usage? We look at power and danger time series of Project Gutenberg books to find out. 1/🧵

Excited to share our #UIST2022 paper introducing FeedLens, a novel system that repurposes people’s research paper feeds on Semantic Scholar as lenses. Without any additional training, these lenses show relevance for all types of related entities, like authors and institutions. 🧵

The Ancient Greeks had two words for time:

1. Chronos = sequential, quantitative time
2. Kairos = fluctuating, qualitative time

Here's why you need to understand kairos...

It's never too early to talk about civics!
Civic education can be a game changer but it needs to be designed well in a way that allows kids to take action + make easy connections to their everyday life.

News out of Asia is insane today. 🇵🇭 36 years after People Power in the Philippines, the son of former dictator Ferdinand Marcos is set to be the next president. Yet it's people power in 🇱🇰 Sri Lanka as PM Rajapaksa steps down and they've literally burned his house down. 🔥
