Anyone have 20 minutes to answer some questions about the census of agriculture? I want to make sure that I'm using it correctly

What's the link between mental health & creativity? Barbara Biasi Michael S. Dahl & I investigate this question focusing on bipolar disorder (BD). We find that people with BD are more likely to be musicians but less likely to hold other creative jobs nature.com/articles/s4159…

Awesome metascience research opportunity to partner with the NIH on measuring the impact of their scientific portfolio and informing the program design of their funding streams.

Re-reading Vinge's A Fire Upon the Deep. Love that the discipline analogous to AI safety is called 'applied theology' :-)

Simulating people for predictive sociology: researchers simulated Republican & Democratic people using an LLM trained on data from 2019 and before, and probed them for their attitudes towards a then-hypothetical COVID-19, observing similar polarization in responses to real life.

Cool paper and very effective presentation in this thread!

This £5m UKRI / Open Phil call for metascience proposals looks amazing.
Specially excited about the 'Measuring research impacts' + 'AI impacts on research and innovation system' themes, and the nudge to get researchers working with the underexploited Gateway to Research dataset.

Excited to be involved with the 2024 The Roots of Progress blog-building intensive. If you love writing about progress, this might be for you.

Go meta! Delighted to see the new £5M metascience funding call has hit the streets from UK Research and Innovation Economic and Social Research Council Department for Science, Innovation and Technology Open Philanthropy. Projects up to £300K each. Deadline 16 July. ukri.org/opportunity/uk…

🚨 New metascience research grant call 🚨

Arguably, reducing research inefficiencies, solving the replication crisis, and designing good incentives for researchers is the MOST impactful work you can do in the 21st century.

Our first Metascience research grant call is now open!

In partnership with Department for Science, Innovation and Technology, Economic and Social Research Council is offering £5m of funding for research into more effective ways of conducting and supporting R&D. Individual projects can be up to £300k. More info here:

1/3 🧵 Publication alert! In a new paper (shorturl.at/bptuQ), Emil Bargmann Madsen and I examine the relationship between funding-type (thematic vs. responsive-mode) and shifts in research interests among 10k grant recipients in UK Physics, Engineering and Bioscience.
