Picture of a brief published by the Council on Contemporary Families titled "How Do We Know When Fertility is Too Low?"

You've probably heard that US fertility is "below replacement level." But what does that actually mean???

Demographers @lesja.bsky.social & others explain the link between birth rates & population growth in this new @ccfamilies.bsky.social brief. contemporaryfamilies.utah.edu/publications...

‼️New @ccfamilies.bsky.social Brief Report ‼️

How Do We Know When Fertility Is Too Low?

Falling birth rates have fueled worries about “below replacement” fertility. But the link between today’s fertility rate and long-term population decline isn’t so simple.

Yes! So nice when they connect the dots!! 😊

They know they won't be in power forever. So, they're breaking as much as they can right now, in the hope that whoever follows them won't be able to put it all back together.

Congrats, Shay! Looks great!(And it was a pleasure seeing you at ASA! 😊)

In the face of attacks on research, education, and humanity, we're stronger together than we are on our own. So, I'm deeply grateful to get to be part of the ASA leadership team, to serve alongside Dr. Young, and to help members build solidarity and champion the essential work of sociology.

Congrats, Jess!! ASA VP-elect AND the one-year anniversary of Holding Together -- what an exciting week for you!!! ☺️🎉

Nature ran a piece finding that 25 million people could die as a result of ending USAID. This puts Trump and Musk in the category of the most brutal leaders of the 20th century in terms of unnecessary lives lost.

At Chapel Hill, Only Health-Sciences Professors Have Been Getting Tenure The UNC Chapel Hill board hasn’t tenured a single professor in fields outside the health sciences since January. The inaction has prompted confusion and alarm among faculty.

This is shameful. The UNC Board of Trustees fails to vote on all tenure cases in Arts & Sciences, holding faculty in limbo without any explanation or timeline. This affects both assistant profs up for tenure and new tenured hires.

Please highlight this story.

ICE stormed into the wrong house, trashed the place, and made women/girls stand outside in the rain in their underwear. ICE also stole phones, laptops, and cash savings from the family, who moved to OKC two weeks ago.

I've really enjoyed never having to think about measles in my ENTIRE 49 years of life. I guess it was a good run
