Today, one of my students - who entered stats this semester saying she was not a math or computer person - was confidently raising her hand to debug our class code A good teaching moment

This is Emily. She is 6 and a half. She just discovered I'm a scientist. Immediately upon learning this, she asked if I knew any "Black Hole" scientists, and if I did, could I ask this question. So, from Emily: Can black holes swallow other black holes?

Academics: If you’re trying to make sense of how people you know knew Epstein, it’s book agent John Brockman. He’s savvy enough to lay low, but we should be talking about him. Friends don’t let friends sign with Brockman. www.buzzfeednews.com/article/pete... And newrepublic.com/article/1548...

We have a lot of research showing just how susceptible people are to the pressure of social norms, particularly if norms are perceived as changing The conversation nationally around ICE is changing; keep calling your representatives. It takes 5 minutes and has a far bigger impact than you may think

Went for a ski, and class has been canceled I really do like winter

I just created a series of seven deep-dive videos about AI, which I've posted to youtube and now here. 😊 Targeted to laypeople, they explore how LLMs work, what they can do, and what impacts they have on learning, well-being, disinformation, the workplace, the economy, and the environment.

The carmina burana started playing in someone’s office near mine and at the same time as a test of the university emergency system went out. Kinda hoping this was not just a coincidence

Someone resurrected this thread as potentially helpful for instructors trying to figure out how to manage disruptions to schoolwork due to ICE occupation. If it’s helping, I’m happy to repost it too:

We’ve come across Toasty. Has anyone used this service and found it useful?

Has anyone used e-gift cards to reward research participants? We’re looking for something that isn’t Amazon and that avoids exorbitant service fees

Have you used Project Implicit for class demo or research? I know I have. Project Implicit fundamentally changed social psych research and public discourse. Its impact is too big to write in one post. But all this work is in jeopardy, so pls join me in donating to sustain Project Implicit!!

Project Implicit is facing an existential threat. After almost 30 years, 60 million visitors, and hundreds of published papers, funding for our work has disappeared. We’ve never held a fundraising drive before, but we need your support to keep our site running. Please consider donating! 🙏

Bad: guy on our flight was coughing horribly the entire time Good: he wore a mask! Bad: it’s was me, I’m the problem (I was not coughing before getting on the plane)

Ohio only permits one ballot dropbox per county, so the grace period for mailing a ballot is a key convenience for those who cannot easily access a dropbox. Mail voting is particularly popular among older voters and those with disabilities.

This is a scandal. Public universities should be banned from paying these insane buyouts for college coaches. No pro sports teams are paying $33 million to fire their incompetent coach, so why are colleges paying this kind of money?!?
