Thanks @jean23bean.bsky.social for visiting us at Toronto Sociology this week to speak about suspect citizenship! The room was completely full and we had to even add a couple of chairs to accomodate all the interest in hearing about this important work. Excited to follow this project!! #Socsky

How does the role of undocumented status change as children get older? In a new study, I found national-level evidence that undocumented children did just as well as peers in high school, but had signficantly reduced chances of college graduation and lower earnings as they got older.

Let's say that one wanted to go from 0 to computational social science. With the end goal being to write a real research paper using this approach. What are the texts and resources that you would suggest to achieve this goal?

This is a gut punch. For two years in grad school I was funded by a fellowship via UW-RDRC, which provided an amazing commmunity. It supported me through the most important days of dissertation writing and taught me so much about aging research. I can't believe they just cut the whole consortium.

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...

It's time to start a thread on higher ed budget cuts announced due to actual and potential cuts to federal funding. Northwestern is placing additional scrutiny on all spending and trying to cut non-personnel spending by 10% this year.

Not that I'd like to humor the idea, but in case you are curious, here's what people in 🇨🇦 actually think of becoming the 51st state: An overwhelming majority (82%) said no, they don't want it. Women & those aged 55+ are especially against it. #socsky Dataviz by me, report by Leger: shorturl.at/pS2jx

According to this article, they have ordered CDC/NCHS to stop releasing data. Make sure you've downloaded what you need, #EpiSky. Some of the executive orders affect variables in these datasets.

After more than 12 years of DACA success stories, Congress has failed to act. More than a half a million beneficiaries remain in limbo. Their average age is 31 & some are as old as 43. Congressional failure should be a bigger story. It has been the ultimate form of deferred action.

Since we're all apparently accepting publishers' testimony in a trial as absolute truth, it's worth reading this as a counterbalance.

🙋‍♀️ hi I wrote a thing! In @theconversation.bsky.social, I discussed how immigrants save aging economies but face financial struggles as they get older. My goal was to write something my dad can read with ease. I hope he'll like it lol (and anyone else that reads it!)

POLL: I live in Toronto, and I'm going to the store later today to get a ZZ plant. What should I say to the person in the store? A) I want a Zee Zee plant B) I want a Zed Zed plant C) Write "zz plant" on a piece of paper and slide it over in silence (I guess there's no poll function yet? 🤣)

Goldin was the first woman to be tenured in economics at Harvard. Skocpol was the first woman to be tenured in sociology at Harvard (and only after won a sex discrim case). Pretty remarkable, given both are still active today. I mean, it's not like these "firsts" are ancient history.

Hi I'm here 🙋‍♀️ For the last year I've gotten used to suppressing the urge to post on academic social media & felt bad every time I posted on Twitter. Hope this is the start of something positive! I'm a scholar of immigration and aging. I like thinking about how immigrants plan retirement!
