The territorial integrity norm - states are immortal, borders are grandfathered in - is a plausible cause of the Long Peace, the decline of interstate war since 1946. Norms are maintained by common knowledge (they exist to the extent everyone thinks everyone else thinks they exist, the topic of my next book) and can be threatened by public doubts. This is why loose talk around Greenland & Panama is dangerous. Francis Fukuyama agrees: https://t.co/b5vZ3ocyDh

New @SAGEManagement @ASQJournal article! Christiane Bode, @rogan_m from @ImperialBiz and @sjasjit from @INSEAD expose a connection between employees' gender, participation in social impact work, and promotion chances. https://t.co/rLPWJPJKZO

Teams are under pressure to move fast under COVID-19. Beware if you have lots of money and people..it can slow you down:
1. Team size research & Apple: Use small teams and designate a DRI (directly responsible individual)

One problem with saying that we should only listen to experts is that new ideas often come from outsiders.
Where an idea came from is one predictor of its validity, but no more than that. And in some fields it's a rather bad predictor.
There have been claims that #COVID19 has acquired mutations leading to more transmissible strains. We formally tested whether this was the case using 15,000 #SARSCoV2 genomes from all over the world:
