I've been doing all of what you recommend for a while, and honestly - I'm finding it more challenging, not easier, with growing older. It was (much) easier to find peers to hang out with as a PhD student or postdoc than as a tenure-track faculty, and couple/family life wasn't the norm yet.

For folks who have had to navigate early career stages with an unstable personal/romantic life/heartbreak(s), especially if they are far geographically from most of their support system, do you have any advice on how to do it? Does it ever get easier?

Information Architectures: A Framework for Understanding Socio-Technical Systems New paper that came out of a workshop I co-organized at @sfiscience.bsky.socialosf.io/preprints/so...

A sequence of technological inventions over several centuries has dramatically lowered the cost of producing and distributing information. Because culture and societies ride on a substrate of information, these changes have profoundly impacted how we live, work, and interact with each other. This paper explores the nature of information architectures (IAs)—the features that govern how information flows within human populations. IAs include physical and digital infrastructures, norms and institutions, and algorithmic technologies for filtering, producing, and disseminating information. IAs shape everyday lives and cultural practices; they can reinforce societal biases and discriminations and lead to prosocial outcomes as well as unintended social ills. IAs have culturally evolved rapidly with human usage, creating new affordances and new problems for the dynamics of social interaction. We explore the significant societal outcomes instigated by shifts in IAs and call for an enhanced unde

Our new paper w/ @masonyoungblood.bsky.social@oliviermorin.bsky.socialepjdatascience.springeropen.com/articles/10....

Abstract of the paper "First-mover advantage in music": Why do some songs and musicians become successful while others do not? We show that one of the reasons may be the “first-mover advantage”: artists that stand at the foundation of new music genres tend to be more successful than those who join these genres later on. To test this hypothesis, we have analyzed a massive dataset of over 920,000 songs, including 110 music genres: 10 chosen intentionally and preregistered, and 100 chosen randomly. For this, we collected the data from two music services: Spotify, which provides detailed information about songs’ success (the precise number of times each song was listened to), and Every Noise at Once, which provides detailed genre tags for musicians. 91 genres, out of 110, show the first-mover advantage—clearly suggesting that it is an important mechanism in music success and evolution.
