Congrats to Anni Rowland-Campbell, @oshanis.bsky.social and team for organizing a fantastic Brace Conversations Web Science event in Sri Lanka!
This year at @casbsstanford.bsky.social, I chose Study #1, the study named for Elihu Katz. @netakv.bsky.social chose the same study in 2021-22; she wrote this moving tribute mourning Elihu's passing in 2021, surrounded by his legacy. It was never published — until now. medium.com/p/the-networ...
CASBS fellows often choose their offices (what we call studies) for very specific, sometimes personal, reasons, or get inspired once they see the list of fellows (‘ghosts’) who occupied their studies through CASBS history.
Current fellow @noshir.bsky.social explains exactly why he chose study #1. 👇
3/ @noshir.bsky.social at Northwestern University has transformed how we study social, knowledge and organizational #networks; his research encompasses how interwoven structures form, perform, dissolve and reconfigure across science, business, health and spaceflight.

So awesome when fellows from different CASBS classes connect & bond on just about anything. But this recent connection between 2021-22 fellow @netakv.bsky.social & 2025-26 fellow @noshir.bsky.social - and the reason underlying it - is very special 🤗
New in Research Policy with Noshir Contractor (@noshir.bsky.social), Pamela Hinds, Aaron Schecter, and Elisa Mattarelli: Want better ideas in open innovation? It matters who gives you feedback — and who they're connected to.

In an in-press study, Leslie DeChurch, Alina Lungeanu, Megan Chan, and @noshir.bsky.social analyze data from NASA space analog teams and Ancient Rome, finding that dyadic shared leadership is uniquely unstable, while solo or 3+ leader structures persist.
