Women leave academia at higher rates than men at every career stage, and attrition is especially high among three groups: tenured faculty, women in non-STEM fields, and women employed at less prestigious institutions, a #ScienceAdvances analysis finds.
Gender and retention patterns among U.S. faculty
Women faculty are more likely to leave their jobs than men, most often due to workplace climate, rather than work-life balance.

This. I’ve often seen people called out for not speaking about something on social media while aware that they were offering important behind-the-scenes support that a public statement would jeopardize.

Folks need to be more careful about what they think they know. There are multiple lanes.

Something I’ve learned over the years:

Just because you don’t see it happen on social media doesn’t mean it’s not happening.

In fact, some of the best community building I’ve seen *has* to happen offline so strategies can get fine-tuned and aligned.

We’ll need to grant more grace in the now.

Great podcast with @ericklinenberg.bsky.social and Kellie Carter Jackson on the importance of physical spaces for community www.theatlantic.com/podcasts/arc...
Best of 'How To': The Infrastructure of Community
Physical spaces can either encourage or discourage relationships. But people also have to be willing to slow down and connect.

Another: The most he most wretched social isolate is probably not the one with no person to talk to, but the one forced to avoid everyone they are close to.

Who they avoid depends on which topic they are worried about. One bottom line: Close relationships are not, “We are close, therefore I trust you” but “We are close, therefore it’s complicated.”

In a national survey, avoidance is so common that it is actually fundamental to strong ties, not incidental to them. The topic matters---e.g., people avoid sex more than any other topic---but people avoid loved ones for most topics they worry about. 2/

In fact, the biggest differences -- including gyms vs grocery stores -- are not within cities but between them. The city’s diversity and residential segregation matter. But there is a lot we still don’t know. 4/4

For the first 10km from home, every additional km takes people to a neighborhood increasingly different from the home. After that, it depends on the city. 3/

When people go to grocery stores, they go to neighborhoods more racially similar to their own than when they go to any other everyday establishment; when they go to the gyms, to places more racially different. 2/

Our latest paper, in PNAS, makes a case for studying what makes people travel to neighborhoods racially different from their own. Maybe some places help counter residential segregation. We found some surprises. 1/

I keep thinking about @marioluissmall.bsky.social’s brilliant book Unanticipated Gains and what the fragmentation of the last 4 years—both IRL and online—means for lost capacity

Interesting piece by @marioluissmall.bsky.social on the implications of new/big data sources in social science. Focused mostly on social media (for good reason), but I think it applies to other data, too.

To me, big idea is: We gotta rethink how we interpret results.
