Wild to realize Bluesky has more than doubled its user count in <2 months to 12.5M users.
Growth is kinda crazy, the spikes are significantly larger now and despite having 6M users 2 months ago we're still capable of this kind of massive growth in such a short time.
Glad to have you all here.

Marie Curie didn't necessarily aim to hire women in her lab, but she didn't have anything AGAINST women, and so ended up creating a network of more than 45 women trainees who changed (and are still changing) the course of science. By @clarakm.bsky.social with Dava Sobel on her new book 🧪
The Untold Story of Marie Curie’s Network of Female Scientists

Here's an excerpt from my decision letter on a paper that may have cited non-existent papers hallucinated by an LLM.
I hope it's fair. This is uncharted territory for me.

I have written a post on the work of Acemoglu, Johnson, and Robinson.
When assessing their contribution, it is important to appreciate how much their perspective has extended the scope and relevance of economics compared to where it was 20 years ago.
