🚨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%.

"I have an uneasy feeling, for instance, that if the computer had been around at the time of Copernicus, nobody would have bothered with him, because the computers could have handled the Ptolemaic epicycles with perfect ease"

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.

Cambridge Day @cambridgeday.com · Mar 7

Cambridge Bike Give Back passes 5,000 bicycles returned to the needy from ‘rodeo’ space in mall

During its inaugural year of 2020, the Cambridge Bike Give Back program operated mainly out of its founder's home and handed out just under 50 bikes. It's now notched more than 5,000 giveaways and is expanding.

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.

Addressing vaccine skepticism needs to be addressed not by scientific information but by starting with a shared moral outlook.

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.

Everyone wants extra time. Everyone thinks it gives an advantage. But that's just not how it works. Instead, we need inclusive assessment, based on principles of universal design for learning.

What do parents do in an adaptive labor market when infant care goes away? Perhaps most interesting is what FATHERS do. 👀👀👀 Check out our newest paper below. 👇👇👇

Picture of title, authors, and abstract of new paper on the labor supply of parents of infants. Mothers increase labor supply. Fathers take leave from work. Mothers in telework-compatible jobs take less leave.

This figure - $1.7M *MEDIAN* net worth - is insane

The Conversation U.S. @us.theconversation.com · Jan 17

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.

My only contribution to the news today is that I took a girl to see Mulholland Drive as a first date in high school. Dear readers, it was a poor choice.
