Fine essay via @paulg "How Universities Should Prepare Founders": https://t.co/EMKqB3Nimt
Would that universities would listen, as there would be other benefits to pedagogy, too.

@NAChristakis Super cool thread, Dr. Christakis. I was at the ASA conference earlier this month & one of your co-authors presented your joint work on social networks and homophily. So happy to see cognitive social psychology and network science complementing each other.

Experiments and field trials show how to exploit an understanding of social network structure and function to enhance human welfare. We can use an understanding of social networks, and of social contagion theory, to intervene in human populations, whether online or in person. 20/

Humans are naturally embedded in complex, face-to-face social networks. These networks obey particular mathematical and social rules, and taking this into account offers profound new opportunities to understand and modify human behavior and collective outcomes , including public

Social contagion is relevant to phenomena as diverse as public goods production, inequality, technology adoption, economic productivity, political mobilization, misinformation, violence, emotional experience, health behavior, and epidemic disease. 19/

“Bringing Leaders of Network Subgroups Closer Together Does Not Facilitate Consensus,” Scientific Reports2024;14:30183. We find no evidence that the geodesic distance between leaders of two groups is a significant factor in the probability of reaching consensus.

“Static Network Structure Can Stabilize Human Cooperation,” PNAS 2014;111:17093. Consistent with evolutionary game theory, when the benefit-to-cost ratio of cooperation exceeds the average network degree (b/c>k), even a static network structure can stabilize cooperation.

To sustain cooperation and related collective action in human groups, one way is “adding structure” by arranging people in networks or otherwise constraining their interactions (classic review: https://t.co/ZheP9X0f28).
We have used experiments to explore this. 2/

Olfaction lacks a quantitative framework similar to vision and hearing.
In new #HNL work in @PNASNews, we show that odor mixture perception can be predicted. This lays a foundation for digital olfaction, machine-readable smell metrics, next-generation electronic noses, and
