Paper on modeling rhetorical citing by @HonglinB and me is finally out! nature.com/articles/s41467-0… Two thoughts on why citation *quality* is interesting to study for science & innovation broadly: 1. Citation quality not distributed randomly. Big empirical surprise is... (1/3)

Met a British startup founder today who'd studied engineering at Oxford. He said the majority of his fellow students had since gone into finance or consulting. In effect there is a brain drain *within* the UK, as engineers emigrate to fields where they don't build anything.

Twitter seems less engaging. Like the whole algorithm has changed. Lots of conspiracy nutters, adverts and freaks that in real life you wouldn’t make eye contact with. Still, here’s an upside down cat.
