In very good news, Anna Rascon-Prieto, a #UTEP undergraduate Research Assistant in my lab, has been selected to represent UTEP at the Council on Undergraduate Research! Congratulations, Anna! Go #Miners! www.cur.org/cur-releases...

Best article today. #History lesson. Criticality of the #Department_of_Education. www.nytimes.com/2025/11/29/o...

The application period for @NRCHispanic’s fellowship program focused on #economic well-being and #ECE research among Hispanic families is now open! Applications are due by 5 p.m. ET on November 21, 2025. www.hispanicresearchcenter.org/emerging-sch... #EmScholars

In good news… Hoos stopped the chop. Again. #UVA for life.

Lots of specifics that matter in the design of these policies but good to see some debate and momentum in New Mexico, New York City, and elsewhere. www.nytimes.com/2025/09/22/b...

I wanna signal boost this - I am looking to recruit a prospective PhD student to join my Stress and Health Equity lab at the University of Delaware in HDFS. My research concerns biopsychosocial mechanisms of health across the life course with an emphasis on stress and coping.

How can we build more -- and better -- child care in America? @justinbdoromal.bsky.social and I have been studying one answer: raise wages for the early childhood workforce. Here are three key lessons from state and local wage boost initiatives from coast to coast: www.urban.org/urban-wire/t...

Help. #Hispanic_Serving_Instiutions effect positive change for far too many Americans and, often, first generation college students to condone this decision. www.nytimes.com/2025/08/22/u...

SOS.

Amplifying a most important beginning for young children: preschool! Please add Fred Rogers’s Making Friends to this wonderful @nytimes.com list, curated by Travis Jonker (who I would now like to be friends with). www.nytimes.com/2025/08/04/b...

In happier news… (For what it’s worth, I’d also include Audrey Penn’s The Kissing Hand.) www.nytimes.com/2024/08/30/b...

Leave early childhood education alone. Early learning doesn’t need to be redefined by AI. #EduSky nancyebailey.com/2025/07/28/a...

Year 1 of IES Early Career/Mentoring grant complete. Thank you to Dr. Katina Stapleton, mentors, and participating teachers/families/children. This grant changed the trajectory of my career - as it was meant to do. May the work (& IES) continue! A look back! Ready to expand - looking for partners!

"If you look at a long period of time, a lot of our increase in living standards seems to be coming from public investment in scientific research." The devastating cuts to science funding aren't just academic, they threaten our livelihoods and wellbeing. www.nytimes.com/2025/04/30/b...

And affordable, quality #childcare …always childcare.

🧵 But since Head Start's inception, there have been disagreements about whether or not the program "works." So let's review what we know from rigorous research on Head Start's effectiveness, and let's start with what it means for the program to work. 🧵 1/n

So much to learn here in Texas from our neighbors in New Mexico. #ECE_for_all #Teacher_pay #Poverty_reduction

Much needed good news! #early-experiences #Latina_families www.hispanicresearchcenter.org/research-res...

Important. Why doing your research matters. Also understanding the research, and correctly implementing the research… www.nytimes.com/2025/04/07/o...

Thank you, @kathyhirshpasek.bsky.social 🐐

ASAN is deeply alarmed by massive layoffs to the Department of Education (ED). ED staff play a vital role in protecting the civil rights of students and ensuring students with disabilities receive a free and appropriate public education. buff.ly/NzKZbcz

This is the news that makes me think there basically won’t be an academic job market this fall.

Dr. Katina R. Stapleton says goodbye to the National Center for Education Research within IES…for now. www.instagram.com/reel/DHFsRpk...

“The idea of having 3 individuals manage the work that was done by a hundred federal employees supported by thousands of contractors is ludicrous and not humanly possible,” said Stephen Provasnik, former deputy NCES commissioner hechingerreport.org/proof-points... #CountOnStats #DataInfrastructure

If anyone knows my Program Officer, Dr. Katina Stapleton, at IES and could share a personal email address, I would be grateful. I am deeply troubled.

Thinking of the dedicated public servants at ED who worked to improve student opportunities and outcomes 😔 wapo.st/3FhZ1Zw

Core ED functions include: processing 17+ million FAFSAs, providing 6.4 million students with Pell Grants, disbursing 6.4 million student loans, and managing loan repayments for 43 million borrowers. None of this happens magically, without people.

Hearing that nearly all the employees in the statistics agency inside the Education Department -- NCES (National Center for Education Statistics) -- have lost their jobs. Rumors that the NAEP test -- the nation's report card -- will no longer be run by NCES. This info is not confirmed.

My union @swcolumbia.bsky.social has created a resource to support international students who are experiencing increasingly higher risk of immigration enforcement. We have done this on our own time while the University has remained silent and complicit. docs.google.com/document/d/1...

In dismal days, here’s a win. After four years at UTEP, I have finally arrived to a place where a capable and dependable RA has been appointed as a part of an awarded federal grant. This is a game changer for a beginning researcher. I am so grateful to IES. May it not be fleeting.

So excited to announce the 2025-2027 steering committee for @srcdorg.bsky.social's Latinx Caucus! Looking forward to working with all of these amazing people!

🚨New pub alert!!! @natejones.bsky.social and I found that when teachers express more negative emotions, students are less engaged in math and ELA, and enjoy ELA less. And we offer a new measure for observing teacher affect!! www.sciencedirect.com/science/arti...

Questions of how and when screen exposure may affect infant development are complicated. Results of this investigation raise future questions as to timing of exposure, parent-infant conversational turns, and demographic and socioeconomic factors. Please amplify! www.frontiersin.org/journals/dev...

Hearing that DOGE went into the Dept of Education today and shut down almost the entirety of the department's in-house research arm, Institute of Educational Sciences, cancelling contracts totally about $900m.

Hello, I'm new here 👋 I am an #OpenScience and reproducibility nerd and love helping researchers improve the way they do research. I'll post about open research, data and code. And sometimes bicycles 🚲 😉 I co-founded the @digiresacademy.bsky.social 💜

Thank you to Dr. Amanda M. Dettmer, co-mentor on my IES grant examining Mexican-American early childhood educator well-being and outcomes in child vocabulary and executive function, for the invitation to present at the Yale Child Study Center. Once in a lifetime.
