Thanks, Selcan! @jordantkemp.bsky.social will be presenting this at IAS in December too

New paper with @jordantkemp.bsky.social and Luis Bettencourt is now on arXiv: “Spatial Selection and the Multiscale Dynamics of Urban Change”. We use the Price equation and Chicago data to show how fine-scale spatial sorting shapes macro growth trends. Read it here: arxiv.org/pdf/2511.06165

🧪 arXiv began as a side project to share physics preprints. Now it underpins global science, with 2.6M+ papers and 5M users monthly. Its founder, Paul Ginsparg, still can’t walk away. or stop tinkering with it.

The socio-organisational embeddedness of work-life mobility There has recently been renewed interest in occupational mobility over the life-course. We argue that such studies should place greater emphasis on or…
