Does it surprise anyone else when people in "leadership" positions (in industry or academia) show themselves to be deeply uncurious about the people and systems they lead? Occasionally it flabbergasts me.

The end of 2023 is finally in sight, making it time for my annual "Year in Review" post 📈, to remind myself that yes, I did get some things done this year 😅. Here's to closing out 2023 and hoping for good 2024! 🥳 https://aaronclauset.github.io/blog/2023_YiR

@sz and I had a great time talking about how "Labor advantages drive the greater productivity of faculty at elite universities" for AARC's web-seminar on Aug 3. Here's the video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ILliYjEcwxg

In today's @Nature, Fariba Karimi (CSH Vienna) and I argue that age limits ("under 40") for early-career academic awards and prizes are discriminatory against women and young parents. A more inclusive approach would use career-age requirements ("within 7 years of PhD") and allow exceptions for extenuating circumstances.

I had a great time talking 🎙 with Daniel Shea @KITcybersec@twitter.com about the drivers of scientific productivity, the role of prestige in science, and why all scholars need some familiarity with the "science of science", for the Scholarly Communication podcast https://newbooksnetwork.com/the-science-of-science-a-discussion-with-aaron-clauset

Don't be misled into thinking this excellent list of advice is only for a 21yo starting their first job -- there are several ideas I may start doing myself now. Advice really holds up well for a career in scientific research / academia. 👍 https://twitter.com/cblatts/status/1679953131315298304?s=20

End of an era for me: this was my last year giving the #networks foundational lectures @sfiscience@mastodon.sdf.org Complex Systems Summer School, which I first gave in 2013. A true honor to teach so many bright young scholars over these many years, and I'm excited now to pass the torch🕯

Loved this essay by @grimalkina on hard lessons for doing good science about human social experiences, and especially the complexity of just measuring (useful) things. 5⭐️

As the recent faculty search chair at CUEngineering (and having chaired many other faculty searches over the years), I am genuinely excited to read this new paper by Damani White-Lewis and colleagues!

RT from @damaniwl@twitter.com:

"In the first paper we ask a question that has been on a lot of people's minds: do rubrics live up to their promise in mitigating bias in faculty selection? ... Link here: https://www.tandfonline.com/doi/full/10.1080/00221546.2023.2168411 "
