Why Congress's 2023 was so dismal ... goodauthority.org/news/congres... Of course it was also the year in Congress that kept on giving for teaching undergrad legislative politics--so thank you for George Santos, every last speakership ballot, & breathing new life into suspending the rules ... 🤓

Do you or your students ever have to clean data in Stata? If so, I wrote a tutorial for @asjadnaqvi.bsky.social 's amazing "Stata Gallery". I cover the most essential techniques: generating, replacing, recoding, rescaling, encoding, destringing & lots more! polisky medium.com/the-stata-ga...

Be wary of overconfident people who know just enough to think they are experts, but not enough to understand the limitations of their own knowledge. Intermediate levels of scientific knowledge are associated with overconfidence and negative attitudes towards science. www.nature.com/articles/s41...
