Uspol, genocide
In case you're wondering whether "political violence" is escalating in the U.S.A. right now, of *course* it is as we move into an era of concentration campus and domestic military deployments. But both domestic genocides and purges as well as political violence targeted at individual prominent figures has been a *constant* throughout American history, from gun duels fought between political rivals to massacres of Native Americans in order to steal their land, to pogroms against Catholics, to literal wars on local Black success and political participation, all dating back before the American Revolution to the beginning of colonization. Thanks to Wikipedia, here's a *small sampling* where I attempted to whittle things down to about one event per decade before recent times.

Establishing a Baseline of Software Supply Chain Security Task Adoption by Software Organizations
Software supply chain attacks have increased exponentially since 2020. The primary attack vectors for supply chain attacks are through: (1) software components; (2) the build infrastructure; and (3) humans (a.k.a software practitioners). Software supply chain risk management frameworks provide a list of tasks that an organization can adopt to reduce software supply chain risk. Exhaustively adopting all the tasks of these frameworks is infeasible, necessitating the prioritized adoption of tasks.…

Synergy, not size: How collaboration architecture shapes scientific disruption
The mechanisms driving different types of scientific innovation through collaboration remain poorly understood. Here we develop a comprehensive framework analyzing over 14 million papers across 19 disciplines from 1960 to 2020 to unpack how collaborative synergy shapes research disruption. We introduce the synergy factor to quantify collaboration cost-benefit dynamics, revealing discipline-specific architectures where Physics peaks at medium team sizes while humanities achieve maximal synergy t…

From High-Entropy Ceramics (HECs) to Compositionally Complex Ceramics (CCCs) and Beyond
Over the past decade, the field of high-entropy ceramics (HECs) has rapidly expanded to encompass a wide range of oxides, borides, silicides, and other ceramic solid solutions. In 2020, we proposed extending the concept of HECs to compositionally complex ceramics (CCCs), in which non-equimolar compositions and the presence of long- or short-range order reduce entropy while offering new opportunities to tailor and enhance properties, often beyond those of higher-entropy counterparts. Here, funda…
