They did release a bunch of papers (3 I think) at one shot and I could've pulled it from one of those. But I would encourage all of us who care to improve and do better science to read and engage with them and think about ways to improve our fields rather than casting aspersions at an entire field!
*hot
Maybe both you and Kelsey need to go to go back to reading the paper again and talk to folks in the field to understand the nuances more clearly if you truly want to learn rather than give a bit take!
How did that very same paper then generate this graph? When someone asks for evidence in your field, do you point to an op-ed or the paper itself? Is that what they teach in poli science?
Incredible show!!! Thank you for the nudge!
Niiice!! Hoping to catch them next week here in Eugene!

Great conference with great people. @dbassok.bsky.social killed it, obviously. Can’t wait to see even bigger and better next year! (No pressure, @jscottclayton.bsky.social)
There is research on media exposure, disinformation, propaganda but not enough. Right wing media’s brainwashing of millions is the most important political fact of our time.
And experiments can’t do it justice because short term experiments don’t replicate 20 years of bashing brains with lies.
Congratulations @dbassok.bsky.social on an amazing program! 🎉 I learned so much from the sessions at #AEFP2026 and I'm thrilled to see the Policymakers & Practitioners community thriving. Truly a blessing of Golden Unicorns 😉
Please do a trip report if you can! Would love to see it.
Still think we have a strong-link problem in Science @mastroianni.bsky.social ?
Looking for a way to support AEFP and bring high-level visibility to your organization? Consider one of our sponsorship opportunities for #AEFP2026. Learn more here: aefpweb.org/sponsors...
Have never used this but have dreamt of it's possible uses for some historical digitization projects that's on my very long list - dell-research-harvard.github.io/projects/388...
On behalf of all AEs across the social sciences, we THANK you!

ED is requesting public comments on the direction that they should take the Institute of Education Sciences. Feedback is due October 15.

First, in a new brief by Dajung Sohn, @maithgopalan.bsky.social, and me, we analyze how identification rates of students for gifted and talented programs have changed over the last decade, and find persistent racial disparities across this period. Read more: www.advancedequity.org/briefs/gt-ra...
Me & @joanalker1.bsky.social on @npr.org's "It's Been a Minute" talking about the erroneous stereotypes that drive Medicaid cuts & the fundamental connections between all of us. When we harm those whom government deems "underserving," we ultimately harm everyone.

In this paper, my colleagues (Maithreyi Gopalan @maithgopalan.bsky.social, Kathy Emerson, Greg Walton) and I drafted a hybrid review + empirical article. We see it as a useful reference for anyone working to help colleges and universities create better belonging opportunities for students.
Are you working in civil rights enforcement for the federal government and being made to investigate racial equity programs OR are you an organization being investigated or had your federal funds stripped for racial equity work? Message me. Signal: nhannahjones.67
This framing is all wrong
Our international students are not a “crucial funding source”
They are our STUDENTS
They are the reason we EXIST
We teach STUDENTS
Depressing indeed 😕
Whether it’s DARPA creating the original Internet, or an NSF grant funding the origins of Google, or the NIH funding work that led to a miracle cure for a type of leukemia, or NSF funding work that ended up making PCR usable, or Defense research that led to the GPS system that made it possible to have real-time maps on our phones, we all benefit from putting public money towards scientific R&D.
“One point seems to be lost:
The reason that the federal government funds science is not just to provide scientists or government bureaucrats with jobs…
We fund science because it is in our national interest to do so!”

I wrote about corporal punishment in public schools for a project led by @efrankenberg.bsky.social
and @maithgopalan.bsky.social While we see a steep decline in corporal punishment use in schools, there are still states that allow the practice.

Excited for this special issue! Send us your best work! Focus is Prek-16 and expansive to broadly construe "Civil Rights". So higher Ed folks, law and Ed, history of Ed, sociology of Ed, econ of Ed, and policy folks - all welcome!
@jilli-jung.bsky.social in case you are still looking for a panel for our paper that's somewhat related!
