House/Senate are set to eliminate Grad PLUS, and put in place loan limits that would dramatically restrict graduate borrowing. Media coverage emphasizes impact this may have on very expensive programs like Medicine and Dentistry, but @peerresearch.bsky.social finds impact will be much(!) broader 1/

I’ll scream this till I’m blue in the face: FEDERAL CONTRACTORS ARE IN THE SAME BOAT. I was laid off and I still don’t know how I was selected- it’s beyond demoralizing and embarrassing. The person in the piece summed it up well “They took my job and my life from my hands without any reason.”

Just wrapping up a 1st year PhD seminar on the intellectual foundations of public policy as an academic discipline. In the field for decades, I went in unsure where to start or what we'd find. Learned so much, plus better appreciation for the field, our students and its future.

New to platform. Happy to see so many academic/research folks here! Hopeful we can keep building.
