That's an awful lot of programs cutting graduate admissions in the biomedical sciences.

In @the74.bsky.social I argue that we can't accept current academic outcomes as the "new normal" and that if I'd "been told in 2020 that children would still be scuffling to this extent by the middle of the decade," I "would have been shocked and disappointed." www.the74million.org/article/new-...

Some thoughts in The74 (w/ Ashley, @rbnlake.bsky.social, & Andy) about the "shock and awe" at IES, the IES mission, and how we move forward more constructively. www.the74million.org/article/mend...

Totally foreseeable, despite their assurances otherwise. Increasingly clear that we will not be able to rely on federal data collection and research efforts under this administration--it's going to be all up to the states.

Stuck at home all week. No school all week due to the snow and cold weather ❄️🥶 So many pandemic flashbacks this week 😭 fayettevilleflyer.com/2025/02/20/f...

As we head to yet another day of no school tomorrow with this crazy weather, here I am learning some Phyton with my 12 year old 😊

We ventured outside. So pretty but so cold! 🥶 ❄️❤️

I really liked this idea of using a histogram as a legend in a choropleth map (since land isn't unemployed; people are), so I made a little guide to doing it with #rstats, {ggplot2}, and {patchwork} www.andrewheiss.com/blog/2025/02...

ATTENTION!!!! We're still accepting applications for a postdoc (1 year or multiyear) here at Ohio State! It’s not too late to apply!!! The application link is here: osu.wd1.myworkdayjobs.com/en-US/OSUCar...

How it is going here ❄️🥶

This was such a great day ❤️

"'Spain needs to choose between being an open and prosperous country or a closed-off, poor country,'" [Sanchez] told parliament in October. "'It’s as simple as that.'" Not just Spain.

Print this out and put it on your pinboard! Most compact and at the same time clear and intuitive figure on possible associations between predictors and outcome (or variables). (source: journals.sagepub.com/doi/10.1177/..., by @dingdingpeng.the100.ci and @achatton.bsky.social)

My Valentines, who had no school today, surprised me with these they made, when I came back home from work ❤️❤️❤️ Kids are amazing!

Happy 5th birthday to our pandemic puppy! 🐶 🎉

Great piece on the important studies killed off at IES Incredibly shortsighted behavior open.substack.com/pub/goodscie...

Knowing what works, for whom, and under what conditions is one of the most powerful tools I can imagine in public policy. Adding cost effectiveness analysis can improve efficiency while understanding context supports generalizability.

Sunday is the deadline for submissions to our 🚀 3rd CESifo/ifo Junior Workshop on the Economics of Education 🥳 12-13 May 2025, Munich Keynotes: Alexander Willén and @alexeble.bsky.social 🎇 Submit now! 👇

Well what do you know? The Regime has just admitted that they must in fact follow a judge’s court order and release NIH funds to grantees. Thanks to @pinktweets.bsky.social for alerting me. popular.info/p/breaking-n...

"recent generations of elementary teachers are significantly more effective at raising math test scores than those from earlier generations....improvements in teaching for Black students are larger than those for White students...driven by White teachers." www.sciencedirect.com/science/arti...

This past 1/10 marked a year since the passing of my dear friend Tatiana Melguizo. I had planned so many ways to commemorate the day. In the end, I didn’t do anything. It was too sad & too soon. Then came the big February gutting of IES. A thread 🧵 (full version here: www.lsantibanez.com/thoughts)

AERA and COPAFS have issued a statement on the sudden termination of 169 contracts within IES, including those that NCES holds for the collection and reporting of education statistics. Read the full statement: www.aera.net/Newsroom/AER...

And I am a mentor for @camilantmorales.bsky.social in this important grant 😥

With the times we are living in, I am grateful to work in a college where my work is valued and appreciated ♥️ #coehpwecare

Happy International Day of Women in Science. The National Science Foundation’s list of flagged words includes both “Women” and “Female.”

Hearing from a govt contractor that Dept of Education is terminating What Works Clearinghouse (WWC) contracts. WWC is a website that rigorously evaluates education policies, programs, and products to determine what's effective and not. It's an invaluable tool for school, district, state leaders

Here's why your education friends had a real rough one today. It's... it's the entire education data collection apparatus of the United States. www.edweek.org/policy-polit...

I really love education research. I'm gonna need therapy for this.

www.edweek.org/policy-polit... I just got a stop work order for my participation in an IES review panel 😢

More exposure to working mothers during middle/high school greatly reduces girls' child penalties when they grow up. Exposure to working fathers has the opposite effect. H Kleven @princetonecon.bsky.social, G Olivero & E Patacchini @cornelluniversity.bsky.social cepr.org/voxeu/column... #EconSky

Loved it ❤️

Weekend goals. Stay in this moment for as long as I can. #breathe

@khoavuumn.bsky.social using this one in my class next week 😂
