I'm delighted that this short survey, a labor of love, is forthcoming in Notices of the AMS later this month.
I'll post a few threads over the next few weeks.
Today: why do eigenvectors keep showing up in models of networks and influence?!

Fantastic review of #FermentedFoods
Figure shows impact of preparation on postbiotic, metabolite (FDM), live microbes (FAM), and probiotic content.
Paper also highlights research needs

This paper has just been published at the @JPolEcon. When a new firm enters a market with an established incumbent, its primary challenge is to raise consumer awareness of its product. Using random graphs, we examine price competition. See: https://t.co/YvC4fRkJxV
Today, Busara celebrates a significant milestone as Francis Meyo steps in as our new CEO. Francis joined Busara in 2016 as an Engagement Director before rising to the previous VP role, serving under James Vancel and Chaning Jang.
As VP, he led Busara’s health portfolio where he focused on projects across sexual and reproductive health, digital health platforms, and innovative demand-creation strategies.
Congratulations Francis!

@leightjessica@DupasPascaline thanks for sharing, @leightjessica ! We have an updated draft with a broader discussion of external validity and suggestions for researchers here: https://t.co/hYZnTSKctC
@M_FarhanMajid@leightjessica@DupasPascaline@je External validity is certainly a concern! We try to provide some guidance on applications to different settings and suggestions for proxies that don't require full replication (see section 6.3 of the updated draft) https://t.co/tw82ADFnBb
As I've lately been immersed in discussions of costing (+ valuation of time!) wanted to do short 🧵 on this (not new, but very useful!) paper @danagness@DupasPascaline
