THERE IS NO SUCH THING AS A “TRADE DEFICIT”—IT’S JUST CALLED “BUYING THINGS.” YOU DO NOT HAVE A TRADE DEFICIT WITH YOUR DENTIST JUST BECAUSE HE NEVER BUYS ANYTHING FROM YOU.

I have no need for Kamala Harris to do a lot of media. But she REALLY needs to show up tomorrow with some loud "I told you so" messages.

🚨 New Working Paper 🚨 Interested in using synthetic control, but you only have one control unit and several treatment units? How about several control and treatment units? I have a new working paper on the Synthetic Treatment Method (STM) and Synthetic Control And Treatment Method (SCATM).

It’s truly an era where governments are competing to be the worst 🤦🏻‍♂️🤦🏻‍♂️🤦🏻‍♂️

Thrilled to receive the Best Student Paper Award from the CIES East Asia SIG for our paper published in Social Science Research with @ang-yu.bsky.social! It’s my first time at the conference, and I’m loving the vibrant community.

Stop pretending that the authoritarian repression is BECAUSE of the problems in {higher education, the media, the law, government, immigration policy, etc.}. This is what authoritarians do. If they didn't focus on these justifications, they'd come up with other ones.

I am heading home after 2 days in Washington DC I've heard so many heart-breaking stories from my American scientist friends and colleagues... Their pain, distress and anxiety cannot be put in words They truly deserve better

If you have research dependent on these data here is my suggestion 1/N Big picture: Create a dataset of cell means (cells must be big enough to pass disclosure) - load these cell means into many, many tables & put through review -These cell means can then be used in OLS - which runs on means

Sometimes a one word answer is all you need.

A more concerning scenario might be: if we don’t speak now, will we be able to speak in the future?

Recovery from university grade inflation after the COVID-19 pandemic varies by faculty www.tandfonline.com/doi/full/10.... "GPAs returned fully to pre-pandemic levels only in some faculties (e.g. Business, Engineering, Health) but are still inflated in others (e.g. Humanities, Social Sciences)"

Heading to #AEFP2025? We've been thinking a lot about what's happening at the Institute of Education Sciences and what it means for the field. More news coming soon on programming updates. For now, some thoughts with our SREE colleagues www.brookings.edu/articles/cut...

Portuguese editorial cartoonist Zez Vaz reaches back to Tiananmen Square to call on American defiance.

New from me in Computer Science Education: Who teaches high-school computer science and does it matter? #CSed www.tandfonline.com/doi/full/10....

I like studies like this

Does it matter to #FirstGen student success if a first-gen student lives with a first-gen roommate or floormates instead of continuing-gen peers? #NicholasBowman @drgmbettencourt.bsky.social #SoraMoon Learn more @ #RIHE: link.springer.com/10.1007/s111...

I’m thinking about skipping AEFP for the first time since 2018 and taking a break from traveling for the next four years.

Beyond test scores: the impact of test persistence value-added on student achievement www.tandfonline.com/doi/full/10....

This Thanksgiving, I’ve got a unique twist on gratitude to share—I’m thankful for not having any job interviews yet. It’s giving me the perfect excuse to think about waving goodbye to the Trump U.S. after graduation. Just kidding🥹I appreciate any interview opportunity

Post a picture you took (no description) to bring some zen to the timeline

A few minor adjustments to come to the 2024 results after canvass, but it's clear that the urban/rural divide was still a major driver in vote choice in #ncpol. Always striking to me that 1 of the most prominent (& obvious) features of American politics is relatively* recent. *yes, I'm getting old

Science friends in the U.S.: we have two months to make sure data, code, and websites are saved somewhere securely. This isn't going to be pretty.

Democracy, integrity, science, truth, law… all of these together are cheaper than a dozen expensive eggs?

Feeling way too low on motivation to do anything today… even though I can’t vote.

Last night, I asked the Northern Lights if I’d get a job interview, and they said yes! (Well, of course, did not), but I captured a time-lapse 🌌✨

Last night, my partner and I were talking about this year’s physics Nobel Prize going to machine learning, which somewhat made sense to us—more within our realm of knowledge than, say, chemistry. And then today…ML is everywhere 😂

Interesting, but maybe not so surprising: "They calculated that surnames starting with U to Z were docked a little more than half a point (0.6 points) on a 100-point scale compared with A-to-E surnames." hechingerreport.org/proof-points...

Finally making my first post to give this page a human touch
