Bill will present one of his famous researchs as well as several of his recent works. The focal paper is titled "Millions of online book co-purchases reveal partisan differences in the consumption of science.  Abstract: Passionate disagreements about climate change, stem cell research, and evolution raise concerns that science has become a new battlefield in the culture wars. We used data derived from millions of online co-purchases as a behavioral indicator for whether shared interest in science bridges political differences or selective attention reinforces existing divisions. Findings reveal partisan preferences both within and across scientific disciplines. Across fields, customers for liberal or “blue” political books prefer basic science (e.g., physics, astronomy, and zoology), while conservative or “red” customers prefer applied and commercial science (e.g., criminology, medicine and geophysics). Within disciplines, red books tend to be co-purchased with a narrower subset of science books on the periphery of the discipline.
