I'm at #PAA2024. If you want to meet up, let me know.

Also, I'll be giving a talk on Saturday in the last session (Migration Around the World) on how population-level educational attainment affects individual-level wages, with a special focus on nativity (domestic- vs- foreign born).

Note: This is a good paper, but I only got this slot because everyone else has to be at the airport then. So I'm a little afraid for the attendance.

New paper from me and Jill Hamm! The title tells you everything you need to know: "Network Position Affects Social Status in Early Adolescence." #sociology #sociodon @sociology

I'll try and post a preprint and write things up a bit better soon.

Not ready to do a full writeup of this at the moment (and I don't have a preprint up yet either) but I have some work to share!

By myself and Sagi Ramaj: Educational expansion, fields of study, and the gender gap in analytic skill usage on the job

Free to download at this link! Via RSSM. I'll get a full thread and a preprint up in early 2024.

Wow I'm delighted that #WaterfallWednesday is a thing. First #Bloomscrolling, now this.

Academics, maybe we need some pithy hashtags to increase engagement too. #MondayMethods? #WritingHackWednesday? #NewResearch...Thursday?

#SocAF on Twitter did something similar.

(I don't have any recent flower or waterfall photos, but I offer this mushroom and still water instead)

Is Evolutionary Theory celebrating a comeback in political science?

At least, there is this new book:

If you work on a college campus, remember, leaving campus early is a good deed (freeing up a parking space for someone else).

Do your part. Go home early.

This line in Barbara Baig's writing book triggered a memory: "most adults are very self-conscious about learning anything new."

Years ago I took an ink painting class at my local arts center. A middle-aged woman cried because she wasn't immediately good at it. To me this is a convincing case for #ungrading.
