Wow!
Three scholars at Columbia, Michigan, & Maryland just introduced a measure of the partisan leanings of employers in the U.S.
The data is constructed by linking voter registrations to online worker profiles.
VRscores capture the political affiliations of 21.8M workers across 2.6M employers.
Very excited to see our paper "Like Stars: How Firms Learn at Scientific Conferences" out in print in Management Science! (with Stefano Baruffaldi - yet to join over here)

As federal research grants continue to be frozen, and NIH staff is being gutted, please note this study was funded by federal research grants, including from NIH. If they continue with staff cuts, and continue to freeze new awards, this is just one example of what we lose.
The @orgscience.bsky.social AI taskforce released an editorial analyzing 6 yrs of AI use in submission/review data: AI-written papers are lower quality, nearly all rejected, and explain 42%⬆️ submits. We're seeing more rather than better research. Humans are reviewing machines & we're getting tired.
We hope this provides data and evidence to help us all understand how the process of creating, evaluating, and promoting great research must evolve. We are AI enthusiasts and heavy users, so believe that it can help us achieve better research. But incentives must change to reward better, not more.
