Amazing how well Lippi anticipated the Trump 'hush money' trial.

Thread: 1/ The national conversation on higher education is terribly distorted, beginning with the assumption that faculties are a hotbed of radicalism and that students are invariably 'woke.' The vast majority of faculty and students at places like Columbia are not activists.

Hope those threatening to boycott or disrupt commencement realize this will have 0 effect on uni's, Biden's, Bibi's, or Hamas' actions, but it will reduce public support for cause & for higher ed.

My $.02: BA '24 ≈ HS '20. Don't sabotage their chance of one normal graduation.

The language the The New York Times reporters use here glorifies self-immolation -- the stoic hero standing tall and quietly awaiting his fate. Gross.

Editors who refuse to send papers out for review b/c they or unnamed readers dislike the authors' govt are discriminating by national origin.

Editors aren't employers so US laws prohibiting national origin discrim don't apply. It's still not right.

🤖 So #ChatGPT wrote the first sentence of this Elsevier article. Any other parts of the article too? How come none of the coauthors, Editor-in-Chief, reviewers, typesetters noticed? How can this happen with regular peer-review? pubpeer.com/publications/C…

This is not fake.

If someone in Wendy's HQ had a bit more knowledge of psychology, they would have framed this as 'off-peak discounting' ... and be hailed as marketing geniuses.

Said tongue in cheek, I suspect, but gets at an absolutely valid point. Structuring graduate education this way contributes to Econ's huge gender gaps, which are widest at the top programs.

(Econ has most gender segregation by prestige of PhD program of any NAS research field.)

You may know I love a good nonlinear interaction effect. This one is particularly interesting. For moms, no such thing as too much time devoted to family. In contrast, fathers get huge benefit from small amount of leave -- but at some point people seem to think 'go back to work.'

Anne Kronberg and I are happy to see our paper on Amazon be the featured article this month - just as Amazon, Tesla etc move to gut the Natl Labor Relations Act.
