This is a must-read. “The students don’t recognize that writing or speaking our thoughts is often how we realize what we think. Their unconfident and uncertain statements are actually the healthy human norm. …

This is what I’m seeing on campus, too. It’s not universal, by any means, but there is definitely a lo-fi subculture out there.

And hes gonna sign it and we're gonna change the lives of thousands of contingent faculty and the education of tens of thousands of students

OMFG

This is really exciting.

In a new paper, we view the US as a mixed case of state formation and state building that shares elements with both Europe and Latin America. We point to 1815 as an inflection point in APD that reflect fundamental changes in the int'l system. link.springer.com/article/10.1...

Too young for the MMR shot, babies become ‘sitting ducks’ in measles outbreaks

“Among males ages 9 to 26 years, those who received the 9-valent HPV vaccine had a lower risk of a composite of HPV-related head and neck, penile, esophageal, and anal cancers compared with those who were unvaccinated (HR 0.54, 95% CI 0.37-0.81, P=0.002)” @jackiantonovich.bsky.social

This is what remorselessness looks like.

By the end of my comparative health politics class I want my students to be able to correctly explain the reasons for figures like this. It’s not as easy as you might think.

every time i write about wage theft i do a double take because it's so crazy corporations steal more than $50 bn from workers' paychecks each year, illegally paying workers less than they earned for their labor that significantly exceeds the combined losses from larceny, burglary, & vehicle theft

Arrrhhhh, matey.

Now is a perfect time to remind everyone that Samantha Harvey’s Orbital is a gorgeous, meditative, and altogether amazing book. If you haven’t read it, get thee to your local library!

Nice job getting Taney and Bondi in the same sentence.

In the summer of 2008 in the US gas peaked at an average of $4.11 a gallon. In 2026 dollars that is $6.24 a gallon. So even at $4 a gallon, gas today is cheaper than it was in 2008.

Buh-bye, Johnny. Don’t let the door hit your ass on your way out.

Ok, that was pretty cool and awesome, especially after we got through that 5 min mark that I assume all Gen Xers were holding our breaths through. But my old Zojirushi rice cooker also just made another batch of perfectly cooked rice. Which is honestly almost as awesome and cool.

Amidst all the awful stuff going on, being trans and visible is a tremendous act of courage. I honor and am frankly in awe of my trans family and friends — today and every day.

Proud to have "Nonbinary Gender Economics" out in JPE Micro. We document the economic experiences and preferences of nonbinary individuals—a population of 1M+ in the US that is often overlooked.

Does anyone have a paper on administrative burdens in healthcare that is looking for a session to join for APPAM?

I've been thinking about this a lot since the ICE occupation of Minnesota. Minnesotans weren't fighting over what the best singular tactic was. We just tried anything that would protect the people targeted. The right thing to do was obvious when we thought about victims instead of perpetrators.

Fascists want us to believe that they can weaponize any actions we take against us. If we feel like inaction is the only "safe" choice, it's easier them to escalate their violence. The reality is that almost anything we do to oppose them is more protective than doing nothing.

Mo looks on while Garber and his buddy Marcelo wrestle. When things get out of hand (in his opinion) Mo intervenes and pins Garber’s to the ground ever so gently.

In the waiting room for a medical appt. TV volumen is at full blast. If the medical appointment itself doesn’t trigger a crash, the loud noise sure will. Argh. #PEM

After Claudia Goldin became the first woman to win a solo Nobel in economics, she got hundreds of invitations. She accepted three. One was advising WNBA players on a labor deal. She helped players land the biggest % raise in US sports history. www.wsj.com/economy/wnba...

This is a step backward. When I first started teaching med students, none of them had heard of “social determinants of health.” Now they all have at least a basic understanding.

"The leading medical school accreditation body in the U.S. has removed language from its standards that had required schools it validates to teach about health inequities." Shame. We don't live in a vacuum. All physicians should understand the structural forces that impact their patients' health.

Staff and administrators saw one final year of pay raises exceeding inflation this year, but that won't happen again for a while. Tenure-line faculty have had raises below inflation every year for the past decade. Tenure and promotion boosts are often modest (3-10%), and only happen twice.

Indivisible cofounder announcing a general strike on May Day. Wow.

That actually is quite connected to the point.

What’s your (least) favorite piece of apparent common sense “wisdom” that’s not in this list? (Most of these aren’t actually proverbs, but I digress.)

I need scientific societies to stop capitulating to the fascists so we can work on fighting the fascism rather than fighting against our own about not siding with fascism. It’s not that hard and if you need help, @standupforscience.net is here! We can help!

Apparently Google has only partially updated its satellite photos of Gaza, so there are currently these weird images where whatever algorithm they use is utterly failing to blend before and after shots

Thinking of my beloved tiger queen Alice Wong today, and what better a way to celebrate than with her work; Alice was so many things, and among them was an incredibly sharp, talented writer with a luminous love for words.
