🚨New paper alert!🚨
Women are less likely to enter competitions than men—even when equally qualified. But telling them this can change behavior.
📈 In a field experiment on a job application platform, we found that highlighting this gender gap increased the # of job apps women submitted by ~20%.

Cambridge Bike Give Back is great and Lonnell is a fantastic founder. I was happy to see my much loved (but no longer needed) mountain bike find a new and better home through him.

How can we combat vaccine disinformation?
In my recent paper with Mia Chang-Zunino, we argue that simply countering vaccine skepticism with scientific facts is unlikely to be effective. Instead, the key lies in addressing moral divides.

A timely post from #ASQ editors about the impat of #GenAI on academic publishing. In short, if we seek the generatively easier road it will hurt the quality of organizational scholarship.

This figure - $1.7M *MEDIAN* net worth - is insane
A typical household in the five poorest communities had assets worth about $18,000.
Palo Alto, CA, and Nassau County, NY, are 2 of the nation’s five wealthiest places. The top 5 areas had median household net worth of nearly $1.7 million. That’s almost 90x wealthier than the poorest 5 places.

FWIW, I think business schools are in trouble if the world (and our prospective students) believe that our product makes them bad people.

So this is specifically about Gaiman, but it is a Good Take that bears out in nerdy spaces like tech, and definitely in academia. When ppl at the bottom of the ladder gain power, they may absolve themselves of the responsibility (or ability) to see their own behavior as abusive.
In short, a lot of men with arts careers grow up as the loser who gets kicked around or ignored. Or at least that's their self-conception. At so, when at some point they really do have power - money, fans, or just having the ability to grant an opening to a dream career - they don't see it as power.
