“If your work addresses challenges beyond a single field, this is the place for it.” – Katherine Ognyanova, @PNASNexus Reviewing Editor. Publish in our open access, interdisciplinary journal. Learn more: ow.ly/MJ4i50WGFl7
Half of US adults now use #AI — but views on how to regulate the technology vary widely by state, research by @Northeastern experts shows. Read more: bit.ly/4meXILe
Cancers often have 100s if not 1000s of unique mutations. Having a tech that can custom tune your immune response to your individual cancer would be a potential game changer. That’s what is being killed here.
Twitter/X users co-share mainstream news alongside "fake" news to promote misleading narratives, finds Goel @_Jon_Green @davidlazer @psresnik, highlighting how factual info can be weaponized to boost misinformation credibility doi.org/10.1038/s41562…
Here's a treat for state politics and policy researchers. Ethan Dee and I published a dataset in Nature: Scientific Data with 1.36 million state legislative bills since ~2009 coded by 28 policy areas. We used a machine learning model built off open source components.
ICYMI, our DomainDemo dataset, which describes how different demographic groups share domains on Twitter, is now available to download! 📄 Data descriptor: doi.org/10.1038/s41597… 📈 Interactive app to explore the data: domaindemo.info 💽 Dataset: doi.org/10.5281/zenodo…
People were more likely to believe in conspiracy theories about the attempted assassination of President Trump if they heard them from people they knew than if they heard them on social media, according to a study. In PNAS Nexus: ow.ly/JlPs50Wmseo
The basic pattern is a tradeoff: reaching more people via random ties or exploit social reinforcement via clustered ties. Paper with Allison Wan @davidlazer @criedl (7/7) pnas.org/doi/10.1073/pn…
Even with strong social reinforcement random networks spread behavior better than clustered networks. Clustered networks outspread random networks in only a small region of the space we model and mostly only when behavior is near deterministic (4/7)
How does social network structure amplify or stifle behavior diffusion? Turns out, complex contagions are more complicated than we thought … (1/7)
New CHIP50 report on public approval of government interventions in science -- funding cuts, mass layoffs, etc. On average, over twice as many Americans disapprove of these actions as approve.@theNASEM @aaas @ScienceNews @sciam @ScienceMagazine @icahdq chip50.org/reports/americ…
Average approval of science-related government actions is highest among Republicans (42%), men (28%), graduate degree holders (30%), and high-income respondents (31%). Disapproval is strongest among Democrats (74%), African Americans (56%), women (53%), and those aged 65+ (55%).
This report comes from the Civic Health and Institutions Project (CHIP50), which recently won an @AAPOR survey methodology award. With @davidlazer @royperlis @MauSantillana @matthewabaum and others.
Our introduction to the National Internet Observatory, a platform for collecting and sharing online activity data designed for researchers, is happening this afternoon at #ica25
Researchers @UofMaryland are examining how and why some misleading narratives proliferate via strategic use of certain mainstream news articles. The paper—coauthored by Pranav Goel, @_Jon_Green, @davidlazer & @psresnik—was published @NatureHumBehav. nature.com/articles/s4156…
Across the country, there is growing momentum among states to support local news, not as a bailout but as essential civic infrastructure that communities can’t afford to lose. via @Jon_Allsop at @NewYorker newyorker.com/news/fault-lin…
People have no idea of the extent of the destruction happening in the scientific community. There is no real-time feedback loop like the stock market. But, man, are we shooting ourselves in the foot. Decades to build; months to destroy.
