New paper from my group at @MSFTResearch! 📄arxiv.org/abs/2507.07935 Promises about how AI will change work are cheap. What does the actual data say? We measured which work activities people use AI for, how successful they are, and which jobs do those tasks. 🧵1/8

Do you have strong programming skills but need research experience before heading off to grad school for computational social science / business / econ? Apply now to predoc with me and @DavMicRot and @jakehofman DMs open microsoft.com/en-us/research…

🚨New paper🚨 Excited to share our latest on @Nature today: The PIVOT PENALTY in research. nature.com/articles/s4158… More than five years in the making. Key finding: The impact of new research steeply declines the further a researcher moves from their previous work.

@_rnbrewer Congrats Robin! Always inspired by your cool works.

Conventional wisdom says interdisciplinary research is valuable but harder to get through peer review (need to please diverse reviewers, etc). In new @PNASNews paper, @SidneyXiang @DanielMRomero and I partnered with @IOPPublishing to test this wisdom and add nuance (1/3)
