Thank you to @schmidtsciences.bsky.social for naming me an AI2050 Senior Fellow. The program asks: "AI has turned out to be hugely beneficial to society. What happened?" Answering it requires beginning to understand the cumulative effects of AI use; that is my project. www.ias.edu/news/alondra...

Thrilled our paper is out now in AJS. Parents & scholars have long known the linked fate of schools & neighborhoods, but how does change in one domain relate to the other? We (@ebruch.bsky.social) propose a theory of coupled tipping & find support for our model in data over 20 yrs & 3,000 schools.

Received an email with Subject: Nomination for the 2026 Nobel Prize in Physics, and got very excited!* Then I realized it wasn't someone nominating me, it was a crackpot nominating themselves. For proving relativity wrong. Alas. * No actual excitement occurred, I'm used to this.

The biggest project I've worked on for the last chunk of years was just published. It asks, how big are US Black-white lifespan differences? This might seem like a narrow question. I hope to convince you by the end that there are answers you didn't anticipate. And I hope some of them will move you.
