We start with Martina Pocchiari @martinapocchiari.com , on online review updating. Leveraging a field experiment from PissedConsumer (seriously), they aim to answer when to ask for an update: Early to increase the likelihood, or late to benefit from “time is an ultimate healer". Cool project!

Scientists, academics, researchers: We’re excited to share that @altmetric.com is now tracking mentions of your research on Bluesky! 🧪
