Beware survivorship bias in advice on science careers For objective careers advice, talk to those who left science as well as those who stayed.

I’m not sure if I ever shared on Bluesky this article we wrote on how almost everyone giving career advice is susceptible to survivorship bias, but I think it was good and you should read it

I'm happy to report that the final draft of my new book is in copy editing!
The book is called When the Well is Dry: How Water Fuels Violence and Shapes Peace.
It's about the history and trends of violence over freshwater and how to move from conflict to cooperation.

In Paris’s mayoral race, it’s drivers against cyclists A decade of greening leaves the capital less congested but more divided

It’s funny. I‘ve been there last year and did not see that many cyclists (more than 10years ago, sure, but it still did not feel like Amsterdam).

Either way, I am more interested in how people think about growth dynamics :)

From the BuckminsterFuller community on Reddit: I finished "Critical Path", and am surprised to have not found the Knowledge Doubling Curve anywhere. Anyone got ideas for where this might have come fr... Explore this post and more from the BuckminsterFuller community

Yeah. I would be important to not conflate data/info/ knowledge.

Fun: Some seem to link the knowledge doubling curve to Buckminster Fuller. His fans on reddit, however, do claim it does not (note also that one comment describes a similar idea as Jonathan's) www.reddit.com/r/Buckminste...

According to this article in 2013 (when it was written) human knowledge doubled every 12 hours. I wonder what happened to that trend...

Box 1 | Diagnosing and misdiagnosing growth during the accelerating growth phase This box uses the case of solar photovoltaics (PVs) to illustrate that the changing pace of growth during the accelerating growth phase can pose a challenge for projecting future growth and the policy effort required to sustain it. From the early 2010s, the International Energy Agency came under criticism for routinely underprojecting near-term solar PV deployment in their baseline scenario268–270, depicting quasi-linear growth. In the early 2010s, the rapidly falling costs of solar PV (see the igure, part a) gave rise to concerns that the growth potential of solar PV was tremendously underestimated82.It was increasingly argued that rather than linearly extrapolating the growth of solar PV (see the igure, part b, blue lines), it should be approximated as quasi-exponential82,225,271,272 with any observed slowdown interpreted as a temporary luctuation from this long-term trend81. However, exponential growth models, which assume constant acceleration, also led to large errors in projections of future deployment of solar PVs (see the igure, part b, red lines). Instead, the acceleration rate has been steadily declining since the mid-2010s. The observed steady decline of the year-on-year growth rate after takeoff (see the igure, part c) is typical of new technologies and highlights the challenges and potential pitfalls of projecting growth during the accelerating growth phase. Understanding this pattern and the eventual transition to the steady growth phase is important for creating more accurate technology projections.

pulsating growth

This whole paper is amazing and I'll thread properly when have time but in short: I am going to call it 'discourses of acceleration' - how we understand the speed of cleantech growth, how it wobbles more than we think, and that means sustained effort, not sitting back
