What’s wrong with this scenario?

Garber is trying hard to figure out the dock at my parents’ place. It’s confusing that you can walk off the dock into the water, but you can’t walk out of the water onto the dock. 🤔

Emily Noyer, Angela Turkelson & Kira Birditt demonstrate how vigilance, the anticipation of discrimination, "gets under the skin" and affects cardiovascular health over time. myumi.ch/2jmjr

This is sheer stupidity, wrapped in cruelty, with a crunchy outer coating of xenophobia.

I'm looking for folks interested in applying strong quant and computational skills to RQs involving race, gender, political ideology, religion, national identity, etc. If you consider yourself a "QuantCrit," you may be a fit.

My lab @ UPenn is hiring a postdoc to start in early 2027. I'm looking for someone with expertise in social identities, computational methods, and political communication: www.asc.upenn.edu/news-events/...

Scientists--if your funding was cut over the last year (for research on climate, global health, DEI, LGBTQ or womens health, etc) but you managed to keep the research going, I want to talk to you for an upcoming article! Plz contact me: gewin at me dot com. Re-posts appreciated!

Schrödinger‘s political science: simultaneously so hackish & irrelevant that 50 years of research about how elites shape public opinion can be constantly ignored, & also so powerful that our mere papers can change politicians’ behavior & render our theories completely wrong. Pick a lane, man 🤷‍♂️

Recent Belgian Heatwave Declared Deadliest on Record: “the situation during the peak weekend was so severe that excess mortality surpassed even the worst weekend of the COVID-19 pandemic. Between June 22nd and June 27th, a staggering 1,747 excess deaths were recorded.” #Belgium #heatwave #europe

I just created www.lgbtqlegislation.com which builds on the work of the LegiAlerts team to provide an interactive data dashboard to look at 20+ years of anti-LGBTQ legislation and especially anti-trans legislation. It also includes an overview of pro-LGBTQ legislation. Check it out!

I never feel more positive about being an American than when I am in Europe. Here’s why: Our experiment in creating a multi-ethnic nation shows that, with time, it CAN work, even with many deep faults and failures. People of different backgrounds can learn to live together. Happy 4th from London!

I’d vote for that

Since watching the first Gulf War on TV as a young adult, I have never liked large fireworks displays. If you want to hide with your dog, it’s ok.

The NPS will launch 850,000 fireworks in the middle of the night. (Last year, they launched 7,000) That will dump perchlorates and heavy metals into the Potomac River and cause the amount of soot and smoke particles to skyrocket (pardon), at great danger to any creature that breathes.

They may have moved the entry hatch, but the Mother Ship still inevitably pulls you back in.

Agriculture, not industry, was the most unequal sector. A mass of low-paid laborers and unpaid family workers at the bottom, estate owners at the top. As they moved into manufacturing and services, inequality fell. 5/
