Proposed a formal theory idea for one of my finals. Was too focused on the formal part; I forgot about the theory 🫠

[William D. Taylor @WillDTay]

Super cool piece!!

[John B. Holbein @JohnHolbein1]

Whoa.

This looks like an amazing project.

Scholars at UMichigan have recently collected a massive dataset of over 1.1M podcast transcripts that is largely comprehensive of all English language podcasts.

Using this data, they conduct an investigation into the content, structure, and responsiveness of the podcast ecosystem.

Check it out!

@young_pierre24 how do I dislike

[William D. Taylor @WillDTay]

This whole segment was crazy... you never really think about what goes on behind the scenes to power these supermassive classification problems

Documents obtained by 60 Minutes show OpenAI agreed to pay Sama, an American outsourcing firm, $12.50 an hour per Kenyan worker - far higher than the $2 an hour workers say they got. Sama says it pays a fair wage for the region.

This looks like a must read from @carlislerainey.

Finally done haha! Hope this is helpful for those looking to start their own full-stack sports analytics page, especially for the hockey folks. Tried to keep this as high level as possible/sports related while still giving out some good dev practices

This is groundbreaking, super exciting work!

It is such a thrill to be the lead article in the new @apsrjournal! @Chris_W_Blair and I show that hurricane exposure increases concern about and support for policies to address climate migration & climate action, leveraging the quasi-experimental case of Hurricane Ian

For new PhD students in social science (and some old professors - I sure needed this a few years ago!): prepared some notes on what the "2024 PhD Tech Stack" should look like. Goal: your research is replicable, accessible, and efficient. 1/9

me reading the intro + lit review of any piece that's tangential to my work

[Dr Meming @Dr_Meming]

Me reading papers in a field slightly different to mine

[Francy Luna Diaz @Francy_LunaDiaz]

Watch out for Luis X. Guaman, a promising budding scholar. He presented at our @umichpolisci Emerging Scholars Conference— his research will be pathbreaking in political science! I look forward to watching him grow as a scholar and advance his work! #polisci #politicalscience

"It takes a village to conduct research in the public interest the way that we do at ISR." Michael Traugott @umisrcps, co-organizer of the #ISR75 symposium will soon celebrate 60 years in Ann Arbor, and has spent his entire career at @umisr.

In preparing for the job market I recently wrote a draft syllabus for a proposed course on the Politics of Disability. Sharing it here in case its of interest to others - would love to hear any feedback/suggestions and hope it helps!
