Just checked my LinkedIn feed for the first time in a while --- way more interesting than Bluesky, way less noisy than X. Maybe this is the place to be?

Two insights from Economics:

1 Markets are flawed.
2 Government allocation is often worse.

Two insights for research assessment in Economics:

1 Journal rankings are flawed.
2 Replacing them with something else is often worse.

Fellowships launched to explore how AI could change the way scientists drive new discoveries New government-funded fellowships will see researchers explore how AI can change the way we conduct research while 23 projects have been awarded funding to explore wider research and innovation.

Exciting news! We’ve been awarded a UKRI Metascience grant to modernize research practices in Econometrics! Our project will develop innovative platforms β€” including SQARE.org β€” to enhance research evaluation & collaboration. Stay tuned!

Detecting a clear structural break in Bluesky migration over recent days. The process appears non-stationary with a strong upward trend. We might finally be observing that long-anticipated regime shift in platform adoption.

I just logged in here for the first time in months, and it’s clear there’s real momentumβ€”Bluesky’s community is steadily growing. If this keeps up, we might all be able to close our Twitter accounts soon!
