Recent claims that large teams disrupt more rely on 5-year windows, missing small teams’ “sleeping beauty” impact. Our new JOI paper shows that with 10+ years, the pattern flips: small teams disrupt more—consistent with our 2019 Nature study. https://t.co/qxr3D6xw1J

In this new interview, I discuss why the science of disruption is still in its early days—“like quantum physics in the 1920s. The more you look at it, the more confusing it is.” But that’s exactly what makes it urgent—and fascinating. #ScienceOfScience

Nature - Researchers are arguing over whether ‘disruptive’ or ‘novel’ science is waning – and how to remedy the problem.

#TeamScience Large teams can overshadow junior scholars, blurring their credit and hindering their careers. See my interview with @ScienceMagazine @ScienceCareers

As teams grow, new Ph.D. graduates are less likely to land tenure-track jobs and more likely to leave science—especially women and international researchers

Check out this Nature editorial on remote work! I was interviewed and noted that Bloom et al.'s paper aligns with, but does not contradict, our last year's Nature paper: technical tasks can go remote, but coordinating conceptual work is still challenging. https://t.co/8rGa9XDJrR

Nature - Some employers are backing away from hybrid working, but research suggests that they need not be concerned.

To Scientific American, I mentioned the importance of breaking the academic class to fuse new ideas. But how? Starting from going back to office. Because remote team don’t change power structures and work priorities but instead stabilize them. https://t.co/39JPUCGgT0

My postdoc rushed back to China for visa issues, leaving a gift. Our 4-y paper still under revision. Did I fulfill duties as a corresponding author? Maybe. Did I always make everyone happy? Perhaps not. I once told students, 'Life's bigger than research.' But did I live up to it?
