Serious scholars have examined what happens when we change the number of H1-B visas issued. Cities that get more H1-B immigrants subsequently see the wages of natives *rise* substantially. Skilled immigrants bring new ideas, fill labor shortages and make us all more productive.

JDM folk: please submit :)

It's weird: I am an immigrant, but I have never once been stopped and subject to questioning about my legal status inside the United States. Nor do I expect to be. Nor does Justice Kavanaugh. Wonder why that is.

In this new Commentary in @natclimate.nature.com, I reflect on the recent focus on truth discernment in #misinfo research and argue that this outcome alone may not be beneficial to society if interventions do not improve behaviour and other outcomes because... 1/ www.nature.com/articles/s41...

We are watching the 1985 classic Fright Night and my daughter described it as "coming from the nineteen hundreds" 💀

i checked, this tweet from the Dept of Labor is real & is part of a trend of the Trump regime posting images fashioned after Nazi propaganda. The Frankfurter Allgemeine Zeitung, leading German newspaper, reported on this trend- “a visual language reminiscent of the Nazis” www.faz.net/aktuell/feui...

All kidding about this nonsense answer aside: The regime is asserting the power to murder without trial a boat full of people suspected of drug trafficking, who easily could have been intercepted and arrested instead. That is unconscionable and horrifying even assuming everyone aboard was guilty.

Every once in a while I tell people from other countries about how the health insurance system works in the US and they are aghast. Yesterday a guy straight up didn’t believe me when I said people can die because of not being able to afford medicine. He was sure I meant in the distant past.

Our department @yorkpsychology.bsky.social has 2 open lecturer positions (=tenure-track Assistant Prof). Social psych is one of the priority areas, so consider applying if you study social behavior, incl. intergroup relations, culture, environmental or media psych. jobs.york.ac.uk/vacancy/lect...

I’m so grateful that I have tenure and the academic freedom to call it like I see it. “Dr. Kathleen Bachynski, a professor of public health at Muhlenberg College, described Kennedy’s comments as “absolute gibberish” and slammed the HHS secretary as a “dangerous buffoon” who is “threatening us all.”

I have never seen so many public servants protest the mismanagement of a government. Trumpists will point to this as proof of the deep state, but the reality is that these are professionals who are desperately trying to get the public to understand how bad things are.

This has now been published in PNAS! www.pnas.org/doi/10.1073/... The original authors also posted a reply: www.pnas.org/doi/10.1073/... Quick thread on some additional thoughts and then I'm probably done talking about this one 🧵

I know this isn't that important, but imagine wearing a hat - a gigantic hat - that proudly and unironically says "[your own last name] WAS RIGHT ABOUT EVERYTHING"

I'm excited about this new pre-print arguing that the right risk measure for AI persuasion is what a given model is *willing* to persuade people on, rather than focusing on how effective that persuasion is

1/ Many frontier AIs are willing to persuade on dangerous topics, according to our new benchmark: Attempt to Persuade Eval (APE). Here’s Google’s most capable model, Gemini 2.5 Pro trying to convince a user to join a terrorist group👇

If these rules were in place 2 years ago (when I was deciding if I should leave Canada for the US), I absolutely would NOT have come to the US. Just on principle. I suspect the same is true for MANY international scientists & scholars. Presumably this is why these new rules are being put in place

I have lost all patience with the apparently unshakeable conviction that striking a reasonable, moderate pose means assuming the sincerity of transparently pretextual horseshit. Donald Trump does not care about reducing crime in DC. He is testing and normalizing paramilitary deployments in cities.

Apply for funding to work with me and Gord at Cornell!

This is 💯 the impact of ref-working by anti-vaxxers, who have cowed platforms into believing that their policies — which were developed after measles outbreaks + child deaths — were “bad”. One of the ppl mentioned here - Dressen - is suing me for “censoring” her. 🙄 www.nbcnews.com/tech/interne...

Interested in doing a postdoc with me & @dgrand.bsky.social? Consider applying to Cornell's Klarman Fellowship: as.cornell.edu/research/kla... It involves a competitive internal application process, but it's 3 years of funding @$80k/year Please email me/Dave if you're interested! Oct 15th deadline

We know that a consensus of opinions is persuasive, but how reliable is this effect across people and types of consensus, and are there any kinds of claims where people care less about what other people think? This is what we tested in our new(ish) paper in @psychscience.bsky.social

Autocratic leader, building on racist propaganda, falsehoods about crime data, and an alleged assault on a member of his extralegal office devoted to gutting the budget, moves to have federal armed personnel take direct control of the streets of the capital city.

1. Federal funding for research promotes tech, biomedical, and scientific discovery in the US, and provides training for the sci/tech workforce that has brought immeasurable wealth to the US over the past 75 years. Today's executive order includes a provision that will obliterate both functions.

New in TiCS w @dgrand.bsky.social @gordpennycook.bsky.social It’s been ~10yrs since misinfo research exploded but our paradigms are stuck in the post-2016 “fake news” model Time for new approaches: o True/False → Content that misleads o Belief → Behavior o Eval interventions in ambiguous settings

Meta fired its fact-checkers, citing concerns of liberal bias, and replaced them with a version of X's "Community Notes." How's that going? Well, my coworker @geoffreyfowler.bsky.social proposed 65 fact-checks debunking false posts... and only 3 got approved. www.washingtonpost.com/technology/2...

Not even seven months - six. After 186 days, one of America's leading universities and two of its most prestigious news outlets have already capitulated. And Trump's henchmen are just starting to wield the full powers of the federal government.
