I am excited to see our paper, "Predicting behavioral health-involved police encounters: A machine learning approach" go live at Journal of Quantitative Criminology link.springer.com/epdf/10.1007...
LOL
Congrats! It’s something to aspire to! Well-deserved, though. I am not envious. Not really.
Same, but I used TurboTax, which is like getting accepted at a predatory journal
I know that one.
I know that it’s tacky to boast about acceptances. But at my career stage, it remains gratifying to read the emails notifying me that both my state and federal tax returns were accepted via e-file. So far, anyway, not even an R&R….
Passover is such a poignant experience. As we answer the four questions, my mind always wanders to various empty seats at the family Seder table.
The launch of my book Coverage Denied (out 4/23) will be at the White Whale Bookstore on 4/28. If you're in Pittsburgh, register to attend here: www.eventbrite.com/e/book-launc...
And if you're not local, you can register for the livestream! us02web.zoom.us/meeting/regi...
Hope you can make it!
I've read w/interest the dialogue on this I'm partly motivated by fairness: Pricey conferences are out of reach for colleagues whose research is better than mine. It's partly my belief in frugality+restraint in life when ppl close to me live in modest circumstances. We don't need middle-class bling
The highlight of my week: strolling the Art Institute of Chicago with @citizencohn.bsky.social
I am actually curious if tighter budgets will start shifting some of this behavior. I imagine it will
Uhhh... yeah. Those of us slumming it in non-R1 academia are sharing rooms and paying out of pocket. Have been for years.
Just imagine the people who are NOT at the conference b/c they can't afford to do any of that!
Thank you so much but I'm afraid [Political Supervillain du jour] doesn't have 401(k) matches for protesters. But the good news is that Roth IRA contribution limits are now $7500 ($8500 for graying protesters)... unless they're getting too much income from Etsy merch with subversive messages.
Pet peeve: un-self-aware academic junket culture. We spend $2000 to attend conferences where 75% of speakers rail against American inequality, while we splurge on $75 dinners, stay in $300/night hotel rooms, and take a $50 uber ride to avoid a 3-stop subway ride that would cost $2.50.
Great interview
As a service for paid No Kings protesters, I'm reposting this 2017 financial advice column. For those who believe this column is a joke--it's actually got some good advice. www.huffpost.com/entry/hey-pa...
I love Hebews 12;1. Since we are surrounded by so great a cloud of witnesses, let us throw aside every unnecessary weight and sin which so easily entangle us, and let us run with persistence the race that is set before us.
Of course Iran's regine is terrible. Still--This business of killing foreign leaders may not end well. Bloody instructions, which, being taught, return to plague the inventor.

Excited to announce publication of new JHPPL special issue: Public Health Under Siege (ungated) that explores the fate of public health during the second Trump administration:

I came across this video of my 2004 performance at the University of Chicago Hillel Latke-Hamantash Debate youtu.be/rFcPnVCZDtA?... I can't believe that was almost 22 years ago.
Watching USA-Canada hockey, preparing to take my dog out in a cold Feb day, my mind drifts back 48yrs,to watching my friend Andre play junior hockey before delivering afternoon Rochester Times Union papers together. Andre--You are deeply missed.
Reading Five Bullets about subway shooter Bernard Goetz. An irony of my life is my strong resemblance to Goetz. I was sometimes mistaken for him in late-1980s NY. I had also been mugged. Contemplating his motives for perpetrating an atrocity, I'm reminded of the wise adage: Hurt people hurt people.

I was just reviewing this publication by my colleague Aimee Hilado describing the Reimagining Mental Health Supports for Migrants intervention. Quite an accomplishment that helped so many people. pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/40719157/
I would think this is a Waiver/State specific question. I’m most familiar with NC…this might fit into the Community Navigator service definition, if the counseling was provided to the beneficiary (caregiver could also attend). But it’d need to be part of a care plan, etc.
