A note on the effects of epidemic forecasts on epidemic dynamics [PDF]
The purpose of a forecast, in making an estimate about the future, is to give people information to act on. In the case of a coupled human system, a change in human behavior caused by the forecast can alter the course of events that were the subject of ...

Abstract Research Summary This research investigates how firms attempt to preempt activism before it mobilizes into an active threat. Employing a difference‐in‐differences design, we examine the quasi‐exogenous enactments of laws that prevent Strategic Lawsuits Against Public Participation (anti‐SLAPP laws) in the United States.

Daytime OIO in the Gulf of Maine
The potential importance of iodine for marine boundary layer (MBL) chemistry has found increasing recognition in recent years. However, observations of the key iodine species are sparse and the chemical reactions of the iodine oxides are not well understood. Here we present Differential Optical Absorption Spectroscopy observations of IO, OIO in the MBL

Plastic Marine Pollution in the Gulf of Maine
Plastic pollution is a leading environmental issue because of its demonstrated and potential harms to wildlife, as well as to ecosystem and human health. The Gulf of Maine has already suffered ecological shifts due to recent unprecedented warming of ocean waters, with consequences to coastal economies that rely on ecosystem services.

Embedded Interactions and Selective Disclosure: Network Effects on Conversations aboard Skylab
How do absent others influence our interactions? We argue in this paper that interactions are embedded within networks formed by chains of specific relationships between known third parties. The anticipation of future interactions with external others conditions our interpretation of the current situation and affects our behavior in the interaction. We
