So many congratulations to my sister ⁦@AparnaShewak⁩ on the official release day of her new book! She’s Unlikeable: And Other Lies That Bring Women Down

When Aparna Shewakramani appeared on Netflix’s hit series, , it soon became clear that Aparna knew what she wanted. But all stories are told through certain lenses—and her story is no exception....

It’s very important to distinguish between the business of slavery, which was incredibly profitable and a large source of US wealth, and the economics of slavery, which must account for the cost of enslavement to those who were enslaved.

Amazingly, colleges market on the basis of rankings improvements, yet the constant formula changing makes year-to-year comparisons meaningless. Colleges market on the cornerstone of these measures' statistical invalidity. 5/6

This website is pretty much a dream come true. Replicating this tool and creating meta analysis on demand raises an interesting research Q: under which conditions do policy makers use it and to what extent does it affect policy formation?

This website is incredible. Choose a target population and labor market intervention and it aggregates results from hundreds of studies. https://t.co/P50RjzkSxH

I told a colleague that logistic regression is AI and they got mad at me, so I made a chart. Find yourself. I am "Tinder is AI".

Thinking about the fine arts students that just performed here at the #HISD convocation- I cannot explain the irony that we just sat through; a fine arts performance for a district that now doesn’t value the work of the fine arts teachers that put the kids up on stage.

TT/Tenured professors do not lose anything by adding undergraduate and grad students to papers that they helped with (organizing, lit search, data collection). I do not understand this reluctance to give authorship.

Friendly PSA for my #ASA2023 pals: in-flight air filtration doesn’t live up to its hype 🥴 Even with #eris running rampant, the 3 masks on my flight were 2 more than I expected to see. Safe travels!

Nearly 10,000 new C0VlD cases last week in Texas, a state doing hardly any monitoring or data collection at all. That’s a 72% increase in documented cases in the last week. Some experts think we’re catching 1-in-20 cases right now. Your move: 😷.

I don’t ever jump into the mask pile-ons, but if you are unmasked at an indoor conference and you are representing BioBot Analytics wastewater testing, which just reported a 46% increase in SARS-CoV-2 nationally, you are setting a terrible example for the public.

Discrimination is not a single, objective phenomenon. To make inferences on it, or to form an appropriate policy response to it, requires taking a normative stance of what should be conditioned on. Far too many debates in policy, academia, and the law fail to take such a stance
