Today’s manga artists mostly read manga—and end up making more of the same. Tezuka didn’t. Miyazaki barely watches anime. So, what about researchers? Can reading papers every day really lead to innovative research?

Academia’s biggest paradox: everyone sees their own reviews as polite and precise, yet reviewer's comments on their own papers often reads like clueless nitpicking.

"Urban Highways Are Barriers to Social Ties" out on PNAS!
The 1st large-scale measure of how highways weaken social connections between the communities they separate. This barrier effect is strong in the 50 largest US cities--especially for low-income Black communities.

Many studies explore success, but how many truly address luck? Though some models treat ideas or grants as random, we rarely admit how much luck really matters. Even if statistics account for randomness, luck stays hidden—an inconvenient truth we often overlook.
