I was going to ask if someone knows of a comprehensive archive of US state policies that changed over the last 50 years.

But then I remembered there's this: ippsr.msu.edu/public-polic...

So now I'm posting it here for everyone's benefit instead

New paper with @jordantkemp.bsky.social and Luis Bettencourt is now on arXiv: “Spatial Selection and the Multiscale Dynamics of Urban Change”. We use the Price equation and Chicago data to show how fine-scale spatial sorting shapes macro growth trends. Read it here: arxiv.org/pdf/2511.06165

I've had a few other former astronomers reach out to me lately about transitioning into data science/ML, and I decided to write about it.

This is my personal journey from astro to ocean, and the most useful steps I took along the way.
