- Just five U.S. universities have trained 1-in-8 tenure-track faculty members serving at the nation’s institutions of higher learning, according to new ֱ Boulder research. The study,published Sept. 21 in the journalNature, takes the most
- Most real-world networks are incompletely observed. Algorithms that can accurately predict which links are missing can dramatically speed up network data collection and improve network model validation. Many algorithms now exist for predicting
- Real-world networks are often claimed to be scale free,meaning that the fraction of nodes with degreekfollows a power lawk−α, a pattern with broad implications for the structure and dynamics of complex systems. However, the

- A 2015 study found that “social inequality” across a range of disciplines was so bad that just 25 percent of Ph.D. institutions produced 71 to 86 percent of tenured and tenure-track professors, depending on field. The effect was more extreme the
- What matters more to a scientist’s career success: where they currently work, or where they got their Ph.D.? It’s a question a team of researchers teases apart in a new paper published inPNAS. Their analysis calls into question a common
- As Benjamin Franklin once joked, death and taxes are universal. Scale-free networks may not be, at leastaccording to a new studyfrom ֱ Boulder. The research challenges a popular two-decade-old theory that networks of all kinds, from

- Adapted from The Daily Progressarticle. The University of Virginia on Tuesday announced expanded paid leave benefits for new parents — a move that goes beyond a state executive order and one that could help the school remain competitive with
- Since the end of World War II, few violent conflicts have erupted between major powers. Scholars have come to call this 73-year period “the long peace.” But is this stretch of relative calm truly unusual in modern human history – and evidence that
