Our paper with @sgoulas.bsky.social and Panagiotis Sotirakopoulos has been published in Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences (PNAS)!

Quick tip:

If you store a pdf on GitHub, like this:
github.com/kylebutts/Ge...

You can make an easy to view link by replacing `github.com/` with `nbviewer.org/github/` and it looks like this: nbviewer.org/github/kyleb...

I was incredibly honored to be awarded the CSWEP Carolyn Shaw Bell Award. When I accepted the award, I talked about the importance of mentoring.

The lessons I pass on are kind of obvious. But they are important, so I am going to share them yet again. (A🧵)

This post is for the skeptics who think this is not me. We took this picture in front of Walmart HQ in Bentonville. The idea is to show causality--the truck ran out of gas! I am in the back and I used this picture in a lecture for execs to show the power of causality.
