The Science of How to Talk to Kids About Race: A Typewritten Look at the Evidence

More adventures in analog tools to share behavioral science.

So, after you read this, fire up Opinion Science for more on the context of this work and where it's headed.

Truly remarkable how many people have told the Pope, in some way or another, to "shut up and dribble." Or corrected him on the Bible, despite their thin education on theology. Or told him to stay out of US affairs, despite him being a US citizen. The hubris is amazing.

Wut?! This is absolutely wild.

screenshot from the NYTimes that says "So far, it seems that the Artemis II astronauts have not been visited by any dolphins. The marine mammals have greeted other recent astronaut missions after they splashed down."

My husband, repeatedly: “How can they do this? How can it be so precise??”

SCIENCE. Publicly funded science.

I'm moonscrolling

Humanity did that. Science did that. Publicly-funded research did that. Excellent universities did that. Diversity did that. International cooperation did that.

Artemis II is a perfect example of what we can do at our best.

I am so glad they are safe. My 2026 heart could not have handled it honestly.

Okay CTA. This is a good sign.

This makes my experiences here make more sense now...

Evanston’s Black population shrinks as city addresses affordability When community activist Meleika Gardner returned to Evanston as an adult, she said the city she remembered from her teenage years “felt different” due to what she described as a “mass exodus” of Black residents.  “It’s become more about green than Black,” Gardner said. “It’s about the money and who can afford to stay here.”...

“In 2000, Black residents made up 22.5% of Evanston’s population, but by 2024, 14.4% of the city’s residents were Black, according to U.S. Census Bureau data.”

I'm the daughter of an Army paratrooper who refused orders during our illegal invasion of Vietnam back in the day. He went to LBJ military jail.

Dad taught his girls this: "Just following orders" is NEVER any excuse for anyone who's complicit in war crimes. You MUST refuse heinous orders.

New episode of Opinion Science, featuring @sylviapperry.bsky.social!

We talk about her research on racial socialization, specifically focusing on how white parents navigate—or frequently avoid—conversations about race with their children.

Black text on white background “Happy Easter, New York!  Today, millions of New Yorkers celebrate the resurrection of Jesus Christ and the victory of hope over despair and faith over fear.  As the air warms and cherry blossoms begin to bloom, this holy day is a sacred time to pause and reflect on a season of rebirth. Whether you spend this day singing in pews, parading on Fifth Avenue, joining a processional guided by the bamboo trumpets of Haitian Rara music, or hunting for painted eggs amidst the spring grass, I wish every New Yorker celebrating a joyous day.  Let us all embrace this holiday's spirit of hope and renewal as we build the City — and the world — that we deserve.”

Lol. It's always fun when they remind me that they don't yet know all the stuff and there is much to be taught.
