@jamescham.bsky.social Hello from 22A! 😂

This was one of the most substantive talks on the deleterious effects of phones on kids.

@USAID is enduring an unlawful shutdown, purge, and dismantling. It’s thrown its vital work into turmoil—based on spurious, absurd, and willfully slanted attacks. Here's what’s real: the massive and growing harm now being caused. www.nytimes.com/2025/02/01/h...

"The overview effect is what astronauts typically achieve when they accomplish their first spaceflight and look back at the Earth. You see that it's a single planet with a shared atmosphere. It's our shared place in this universe." Portrait of Astronaut Bob Behnken for the @nationalacademies.org.

So true. My co-authors and I have argued so much...I think of Anat Rafaeli, Jim March,Huggy Rao, Barry Staw, and above all, Jeff Pfeffer. Who liked to say "When two people always agree, one of them is unnecessary."

We have a new dean at Stanford's Business School! @sarahsoule.bsky.social is one of my absolutely favorite scholars, leaders, and friends. Sarah has been so impressive leading @casbsstanford.bsky.social. Good news for students, alums, faculty, administrators. news.stanford.edu/stories/2025...

TERRY GROSS: “I’m going to ask you for a little lesson in etiquette. Do I call you President Carter, Mr. President, or our former President Jimmy Carter?” JIMMY CARTER: “One of the nice things about our country is that you can call me anything you want to.”

I invest in, and buy products from companies that I can be proud of.

I'm taking sides in a spat between Congresswoman MGP and those defending the defensiveness of the left. Exactly what the regs say is not the point. The point is the impact they have. www.eatingpolicy.com/p/stop-telli...

Trump argues mass deportation will reduce housing costs. In contrast, study finds increased immigration enforcement causes shortages of construction labor and “large reductions in residential construction… [which] is associated with increases in home prices.” www.haas.berkeley.edu/wp-content/u...

A new start is good time to go back to some favorite memories. Here's one, about Kurt Vonnegut, Catch-22, and "The No Asshole Rule." www.linkedin.com/pulse/kurt-v...

A group of Galápagos penguins (Spheniscus mendiculus) swam around me on a snorkel at Punta Vicente Roca on Isla Isabela in the Galápagos a few weeks ago and I was lucky enough to spend some time photographing them. After my first visit, Galápagos has become one of my favorite places on this planet.
