Nice coverage of Dani Kang's recent paper with our data on connecting retrospective and EMA measurements of AUD symptoms.
It's important to study disorders as they're experienced in daily life, and the first step is developing measures of those disorders!

The rhetoric of anti-union admins notwithstanding, the best way to strengthen faculty governance is to unionize your workplace. A bunch of my Academic Senate-veteran colleagues wrote about exactly this:
Like, they could have asked government contracting officers at any time how government contracts worked, but instead they made really basic math errors, etc. when tallying up their wall of receipts.
They really had no desire to learn anything
Also in the newsletter: "I just remember thinking, 'I wish they would just ask us!'" is a very familiar sentiment I've seen from across government.
DOGE was so intent on maintaining its isolation from government employees that its staff were basically cosplaying as AI agents making bad assumptions
"DOGE terminated the contract that was a systems management contract that managed all of our contracts and they needed it in order to actually terminate contracts."

Tech overlords fire young computer scientists and dismantling the pipeline. Vought and Trump starving the "S" in STEM. Just a massive betrayal of every message K-12 students have gotten for the last 40 years. We'll be left with engineers to design war drones and actuaries for insurance.
“Recent evidence suggests that [insert university name]’s upper administration sees its own faculty as a problem that needs to be solved.”
i think it is cool that the president of the united states routinely slurs black people as biological inferior

choice for the long run. However, the result of the tournament was that the highest average score was attained by the simplest of all strategies submitted: TIT FOR TAT. This strategy is simply one of cooperating on the first move and then doing whatever the other player did on the preceding move. Thus TIT FOR TAT is a strategy of cooperation based on reciprocity. The results of the first round were then circulated and entries for a second round were solicited. This time there were 62 entries from six countries (23). Most of the contestants were computer hob-byists, but there were also professors of evolutionary biology, physics, and computer science, as well as the five disciplines represented in the first round. TIT FOR TAT was again submitted by the winner of the first round, Professor Ana-tol Rapoport of the Institute for Advanced Study (Vienna). It won again. An analysis of the 3 million choices which were made in the second round identified the impressive robustness of TIT FOR TAT as dependent on three features: it was never the first to defect, it was provocable into retaliation by a defection of the other, and it was forgiving after just one act of retaliation (24).

Alright, I’m home now so here’s the Norm update. Yesterday at 4pm, I got a text from a family I’ve been helping who had a loved one abducted a couple of days after Renée Good’s murder. This was the family that Norm Nation kept from being evicted (and you delivered). ICE had released their loved one.

So many ways change can go awry. You need great ideas, better persuasion skills, deep knowledge of infrastructure, etc. That last one is under appreciated. I think higher education leaders who figure out how to improve infrastructure can make real change.

There's a reason why Meta's employee keylogging plans are only being deployed in the US -- per experts we spoke to, this sort of monitoring would be illegal in much of Europe, where such monitoring is a violation of worker privacy.
In the US, most states don't even require notice of surveillance.
