THERE IS NO SUCH THING AS A “TRADE DEFICIT”—IT’S JUST CALLED “BUYING THINGS.” YOU DO NOT HAVE A TRADE DEFICIT WITH YOUR DENTIST JUST BECAUSE HE NEVER BUYS ANYTHING FROM YOU.

I have no need for Kamala Harris to do a lot of media.

But she REALLY needs to show up tomorrow with some loud "I told you so" messages.

🚨 New Working Paper 🚨

Interested in using synthetic control, but you only have one control unit and several treatment units? How about several control and treatment units? I have a new working paper on the Synthetic Treatment Method (STM) and Synthetic Control And Treatment Method (SCATM).

It’s truly an era where governments are competing to be the worst 🤦🏻‍♂️🤦🏻‍♂️🤦🏻‍♂️

Carmakers' solution: put a 1.6-engine in a RAV4 or a four-cylinder engine in a BMW and Mercedes, but maintain the original price.

Maybe this is the only number he knows?

Thrilled to receive the Best Student Paper Award from the CIES East Asia SIG for our paper published in Social Science Research with @ang-yu.bsky.social! It’s my first time at the conference, and I’m loving the vibrant community.

Stop pretending that the authoritarian repression is BECAUSE of the problems in {higher education, the media, the law, government, immigration policy, etc.}. This is what authoritarians do. If they didn't focus on these justifications, they'd come up with other ones.

I am heading home after 2 days in Washington DC

I've heard so many heart-breaking stories from my American scientist friends and colleagues...

Their pain, distress and anxiety cannot be put in words

They truly deserve better

If you have research dependent on these data here is my suggestion
1/N

Big picture:

Create a dataset of cell means (cells must be big enough to pass disclosure)

- load these cell means into many, many tables & put through review

-These cell means can then be used in OLS - which runs on means

Sometimes a one word answer is all you need.

Congratulations!!!

A more concerning scenario might be: if we don’t speak now, will we be able to speak in the future?

"GPAs returned fully to pre-pandemic levels only in some faculties (e.g. Business, Engineering, Health) but are still inflated in others (e.g. Humanities, Social Sciences)"

Cutting research funding would make education less effective and efficient Presidents of education research associations explain the impacts of recent funding cuts to the Institute of Education Sciences (IES).

Heading to #AEFP2025? We've been thinking a lot about what's happening at the Institute of Education Sciences and what it means for the field. More news coming soon on programming updates.

For now, some thoughts with our SREE colleagues www.brookings.edu/articles/cut...

Portuguese editorial cartoonist Zez Vaz reaches back to Tiananmen Square to call on American defiance.

This obscure law is one reason Trump's agenda keeps losing in court Lawsuits challenging Trump policies raise big constitutional questions, but they also rely on a law that requires the government to follow the correct procedures when changing course.

Protect this law at all costs !

All the executive agencies have been purged and replaced with his own people. I don’t think Trump will go easily. I even doubt whether a fair election can take place in four years. Remember, Russia is also ‘democratically elected,’ but that election is anything but fair.

New from me in Computer Science Education: Who teaches high-school computer science and does it matter? #CSed www.tandfonline.com/doi/full/10....

Thrilled to take the first comment under this account ✌️ My biggest achievement in ELPA 🤣

I like studies like this

Like classic car and maintenance guide? That must be very interesting, haha😆

You’re so kind! Really appreciate the offer—free ride and a podcast adventure? Tempting, for sure. I haven’t registered this time actually. I’ll sort out my schedule in the next few weeks and let you know.

Thank you for the reminder. You are right, and I might drive there like you do🤣🤣🤣However, it is truly concerning to know about the systematic changes that led to the accident.

How the Ingroup Representation of First-Generation Students in Residence Halls Predicts Short-Term and Long-Term College Success - Research in Higher Education Despite a burgeoning literature on first-generation college student success, little is known about how the presence of first-generation or continuing-generation peers may facilitate desired outcomes a...

Does it matter to #FirstGen student success if a first-gen student lives with a first-gen roommate or floormates instead of continuing-gen peers? #NicholasBowman @drgmbettencourt.bsky.social #SoraMoon Learn more @ #RIHE: link.springer.com/10.1007/s111...

I’m thinking about skipping AEFP for the first time since 2018 and taking a break from traveling for the next four years.
