A shiny quatloo to any attendee who mentions Growth, innovation, scaling, and the pace of life in cities.

Please don't. The journal in question has a silly embargo policy which keeps me from even pointing you to a preprint, but let's just say you shouldn't believe everything you read in Proc. Natl. Acad. Sci. (USA), especially when you read theoretical physicists trying to do empirical data analysis. I say this as an former theoretical physicist who now teaches data analysis for a living.
