AI presents a fundamental threat to our ability to use polls to assess public opinion. Bad actors who are able to infiltrate panels can flip close election polls for less than the cost of a Starbucks coffee. Models will also infer and confirm hypotheses in experiments. Current quality checks fail. Dark times for survey work.

The academe has for a long time had a severely neglected social class problem.

"Children from low-SES homes were already severely underrepresented [in the academe]."

"Scientists from high-SES families have 38% higher odds of becoming stars."

Gino's case against us has been dismissed.

Scientists cannot effectively sue other scientists for exposing fraud/errors in their work.

Those who work to correct the scientific record can sleep better tonight. Those who don’t want it corrected, well, I don’t care how they sleep.

@Nolan_Mc Makes a lot of sense. I often find too much lit distracting from what the author is arguing, & would prefer to know what they're arguing/contributing 1st, then have their results situated in the lit. A decent intro could def cover relevant background info needed for argument.

Absolutely thrilled to have participated and even more so to have won the Rebecca Morton poster award! A huge thank you to the committee members for this incredible honor, and to @NYUpolitics for organizing such a fantastic conference!!

Debt commission bill that would create bipartisan panel to propose ways to lower deficit is hated by the right that sees it as Trojan horse to raise taxes & by the left that sees it as Trojan horse to cut entitlements. And hence we have a 1.5 trillion deficit during good economy.

You don't demonstrate your seriousness that Trump is an existential threat to democracy by going through the motions to renominate an 81-year-old with a 38% approval rating who 75% of voters think is too old without giving anyone a choice because that's just how things are done.

biden mixed up sisi and amlo
macron and mitterrand

trump mixed up orban and erdogan
haley and pelosi

they’re both doing it more and more often

can’t write a story on mental acuity in the presidential race and only focus on biden

It's hard to overstate how important a switch away from beef and lamb would be in terms of environmental impact.

Lucky to have my research covered by @PsyPost who did a great job outlining the key points!

New research suggests that political identity influences choices in romantic partners and living locations, potentially exacerbating political polarization. This phenomenon, explored through the lens of niche construction theory, indicates that people… https://t.co/1HKyFj6PWY

🚨My 1st publication!🚨 I theorize & test an important but underexplored link between affective partisanship & partisan geographic sorting. I show how out-party negative affect influences partisans' perceptions of finding romantic partners & willingness to move.

It seems like Qualtrics could play an important role in limiting researcher fraud. As a researcher, I would love to be able to post a data file that is somehow certified by Qualtrics as the original file (maybe it is posted by Qualtrics).

Do people ever really change? A massive new meta-analysis says no—at least when it comes to the differences between us. Despite some fluctuations in adolescence and early adulthood, personality differences among adults are remarkably stable over time.

@JoeHCQ1 @kareem_carr Even then... sometimes, taking on a bit of student debt is a safer or more rational option than taking some entrepreneurial leap. At least for those who complete college.

[Chano Arreguin @ChanoArreguin]

@JoeHCQ1 @kareem_carr My point is that there are ppl who chose the college route who would have loved to have taken the risk but literally couldn't afford to take it. Not that everyone should take the 4yr uni route and incur debt. There are alt options like starting w/community college.
