Spencer Foundation joins Kapor Foundation, the William T. Grant Foundation, and the Alfred P. Sloan Foundation to launch a rapid response bridge funding program (up to $25,000) for education scholars impacted by the abrupt grant cancellations by the National Science Foundation (NSF)! #AcademicSky

AERA has just learned that all restricted-use NCES data licenses will be cancelled, possibly as early as March 20. We urgently request that all AERA members and others in the research community with restricted-use licenses take these two actions: www.aera.net/Research-Pol...

🚨 New publication alert! Excited to share our new article in Journal of Latinos and Education: "Family–School Partnerships for Rural U.S. Latine English Learners: A Systematic Review". Link to 50 free downloads here: tinyurl.com/yh2pvuhc

While the State Department CAN revoke *visas* with very little legal process involved, stripping someone of a green card is done by DHS (not the State Department) and requires filing formal charges alleging a violation of immigration law and a removal hearing in front of an immigration judge.

In this op-ed, we - the presidents of SREE and AEFP - joined forces to argue for the importance of evidence on "what works" and how cutting such funding is not "efficient" - it is wasteful. www.brookings.edu/articles/cut...

Never thought I would be impressed by the pension fund that holds like €500 from my undergrad side gig, but here we are.

504 plans are how kids can carry EpiPens or make sure their classroom is peanut free. It’s how kids with diabetes can use insulin. It’s how kids with mobility issues can have more passing time or use an elevator. An attack on 504 is an attack on everyone. Listen to @lollardfish.bsky.social.

“Clarivate will also phase out one-time perpetual purchases of digital collections, print and digital books for libraries.” Clarivate is making all its academic assets rentals. This will be incredibly unpopular. www.finanznachrichten.de/nachrichten-...

Brock University (Canada) Psychology Dept has a position open, for teaching-intensive, statistics-focused person. brocku.wd3.myworkdayjobs.com/brocku_caree... #AcademicSky #PsychSciSky #PsychJobs #CanPsych

So proud to have my UCM PhD!

NOAA is reportedly on the DOGE chopping block. The National Weather Service, which is part of NOAA, provides life saving weather forecasting in the US. A study found that for every $1 invested in NWS, it produces $73 in value to Americans. Again, this isn't about efficiency.

AERA and COPAFS have issued a statement on the sudden termination of 169 contracts within IES, including those that NCES holds for the collection and reporting of education statistics. Read the full statement: www.aera.net/Newsroom/AER...

Can’t believe I’m typing this but… FUCK IT IM PLANNING A STAND UP FOR SCIENCE PROTEST IN DC. If you want to be involved, be dm me. I’m nervous, I’ve never done this before, but we gotta be the change we want to see in the world.

Application review for our Clinical (teaching-based) Assistant Professor of Applied Statistics for Social Science Research position begins on Monday. If you're passionate about methods education and want to work with awesome students and colleagues at NYU, we want you! apply.interfolio.com/162021

For science reform folks #metasci, it’s important to push back hard on the way in which reform is being weaponized right now. Here’s an article by Paul Thacker about a new, open peer review “rigorous” journal. disinformationchronicle.substack.com/p/pandemic-c...

New research finds that seeing scientists as intellectually humble increases public trust in them, their research, and their recommendations, highlighting the importance of humility in science communication across various fields. www.nature.com/articles/s41... #scicomm

New preprint with @winterstat.bsky.social and Ellen Fitzsimmons on ordinal factor analysis, where the latent variables are scaled so that they generally take values from 1 to # of ordered categories. The scaling is intuitive because it is what you use when you treat ordinal variables as continuous.

Come be my colleague! The quant. methods program in the Educational Psychology department at UW Madison is hiring for a tenure-track assistant professor position in the area of measurement and machine-learning/AI. jobs.wisc.edu/jobs/assista...

@winterstat.bsky.social, Brian Keller, & I will be leading a half-day workshop on "Comprehensive Statistical Model Evaluation" at the @ncme38.bsky.social conference this April in Denver. Join us to learn how to go beyond goodness-of-fit testing when evaluating the usefulness of measurement models.

Please repost! Searching for candidate for postdoc who I could work with to apply for a diversity supplement: grants.nih.gov/grants/guide... Candidates should want a postdoc now or soon, & be psychologists interested in pain, intensive longitudinal data, or both. Should also meet criteria in link👇

Our recent work is motivated by claims like "Using Model A, we replicated earlier findings." Usually, this just means Model A replicated the good fit of the original study. But fit replication ignores important between-study differences in both data patterns & parameter estimates

Putting my startup funds to good use 🤓

My department is hiring! TT, assistant level, open area. I joined HDFS at Purdue last year and would be very happy to talk about my positive experience getting started here with folks interested in applying. careers.purdue.edu/job/West-Laf...

Do you know any undergrads curious about quant methods training (what it is, what it's good for, where to do it, how to get in)? Online info session happening *this Friday* at 12 pacific / 3 eastern. Please share widely!

Like for honey crisp retweet for cosmic crisp.

The most frustrating thing about working for the oldest social science data archive in the world is knowing how much cool stuff we have that goes unused because people don't know about it. In some cases, making data usable requires more resources than we have (THREAD).

Go apply to work with my PhD advisor and all the other amazing people in the psych department at UC Merced! Happy to tell you all about my experience there as a grad student.
