My findings on tenure-track academic job openings in Middle East history, cultural anthology, political science and economics: overall, it's ~3-5X harder to find a decent job today in the humanities than 2 years, & it's 2X as hard in the social sciences #phdlife #AcademicTwitter

An amazing *randomized trial* on Twitter+academia: 112 papers were randomly chosen to be shared on twitter by a group with ~58k followers or to not be shared. Papers that were tweeted accumulated 4x more citations compared to non-tweeted papers over 1yr. pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/3250…

Why are people downloading papers on Academia? "Nepal was hit by earthquake [...] many buildings collapsed due to column failure and many are still standing with defective columns. So it's of interest to all civil engineers to strengthen the affected structures" -anonymous user
