I built the website with Quarto, R, GitHub, and host it through Netlify. Curious how it’s made? The source code is available on my GitHub repository: github.com/bhofstra/aca-web. I licensed it through CC-BY 4.0, so feel free to re-use what you need.

New paper out!
Check out this new paper great scholars @lanukim (leading the study) and Sebastian Mujoz-Najar Galvez. We innovatively link observed US faculty salaries to gender and many indicators of performance, rank, etc. & interdisciplinarity. nature.com/articles/s41598-0…
