It's quite limited as an LMS so YMMV. You can't really use it for submitting work, obv, discussion features are poor, etc. It works really well for this particular purpose though

We moved a large summer institute from distributing lit via Blackboard to Zotero & that was very popular (also w the GA in charge of uploading...).
I also just interviewed an undergrad RA & she mentioned having used Z in several classes, so this doesn't seem unusual

How far back do you go? At the risk of being purged, I thought his blogging as a grad student ~2008/2009 was quite good and I don't remember seeing much of a sign of things to come.

We published this excellent piece in @apsrjournal.bsky.social last December & it references related lit published in most major journals. Do you mean American Politics? www.cambridge.org/core/journal...
Representation at Risk: Evaluating Levels and Consequences of Violence against Immigrant-Background Politicians | American Political Science Review | Cambridge Core

But what does being on YT mean? Id imagine the share interacting much w original content creators is much smaller, more in the Tiktok ballpark

There's nothing special -- Zotero embeds all the metadata for the citations in the document itself, so you can just copy the sections authored by author B into the document authored by author A.
As @evangelinewarren.com notes, the same work cited by both authors will show up twice in bib.

So to confirm, yes you can. What's a little awkward is that you can't update the metadata of the citations your co-author added in Zotero (e.g. to fix typo in title) or vice versa.
That's why working in a joint group is better if you remember to do so from the start

Ironically, given it appears in a thread about pseudo intellectualism, this is not something Einstein ever said. It's not even clear he believed it, given that the theory of relativity is quite hard to explain in simple terms

Having recently read a bunch of old psych papers, the true retro is "blue books and course credit for lab experiments"

I'm not sure whether this qualifies as having aged extremely well or extremely poorly...
