It's increasingly important to understand, & use, critical lenses in quant work conducted in education research.
but
Hasn't been an intellectual home for scholars advancing/applying critical quantitative methods.
Now, in #AERA, there can be!

Love when people say "the data speaks for itself" as if we didn't spend centuries specifically developing statistical methods because data absolutely does not speak for itself.

@lakrogers I'm still holding out hope for a change in ownership
I want academic twitter back

[Carrie Conaway @clconaway]

I have a new piece w/@stats_tipton & @artilesaj out in @TCRecord today. The big idea: "We need to design impact evaluations that value understanding variation as much as understanding average impact." https://t.co/ykZyocvm8A

@ChrisMarsicano Are people from other schools welcome?
I got a 2.0 in Calc 3 (epically mismatched instructional style) and a 2.5 in physics E/M (guess iv shouldn't do that major)

Now I have a PhD and am successful and so forth

@mpolikoff I had to write the equivalent letter for admission to a doc program. I don't remember whether I actually said "I would already prefer to co-author with them, than half of people with degrees in-hand" or not, but writing the requested length felt like a bad use of time

[Deadric T. Williams @doc_thoughts]

Don't let departments underpay you because "inequality within/across rank." It's not your fault that Prof Bob has been in the dept since Jesus walked the Earth and hasn't published in 20 years. Your pay shouldn't be contingent upon Prof Bob's weak ass CV.

@JeffDenning Aren't "average rent per bedroom for an apartment in a college town, 2024 vs 1993" going to be a pretty good answer to that difficulty in explanation?

[Dan Fitzpatrick @FitzEdPolicy]

@stats_tipton Would an updated copy (about to submit for publication) of https://t.co/BY7RF3atYk be in line with what you're looking for, for evaluation work?

@focusfronting Where is the "suffer" button?

Oh, that was my alarm

[Blair Burnette @BBurnettePhD]

Hey folks, I'm looking for someone with expertise in adaptive intervention design (e.g., SMART) to be a consultant or Co-I on an R01 application. Does anyone know someone who may be interested?

[Dan Fitzpatrick @FitzEdPolicy]

@AEAjournals @UChi_Economics @ChicagoBooth Supplemented by qualitative evidence (https://t.co/dBALz4zYpm) you can see that part of the reason that the other-debt picture is complicated is because some borrowers used the pause in student loan payments to have a child

@DrKaylaHIED This seems *especially problematic* given which one turns up as a result of trying to find public email info for you

https://t.co/jbJXl3cPe4

[Dan Fitzpatrick @FitzEdPolicy]

@DrKaylaHIED I have both, but your email system won't let me send them to you

[Dan Fitzpatrick @FitzEdPolicy]

Is this art?

[Dan Fitzpatrick @FitzEdPolicy]

@AndrewDeanHo @mpolikoff I'm not allowed to get it wrong though, bc my wife's grandfather knew the guy... so I'm barred from mispronouncing the name

@ClaireMax Did you know that you can buy meteorites, including (expensive) ones that have been identified as having been ejected from the moon/mars?

[Dan Fitzpatrick @FitzEdPolicy]

@jacasiegel Why is this so rare even when the end point is "I would like to use and cite your scale"?
It is confusing

[Dan Fitzpatrick @FitzEdPolicy]

Peer review in higher ed journals is so abysmally slow at this point that R&R or rejection notifications is how I find out what I had under review. Because I cannot (bother to) remember for that long.

[Jaclyn A. Siegel, PhD @jacasiegel]

I believe it should be a federal crime to publish a scale validation paper without including the items, instructions, response options, and scoring within the manuscript. All reviewers and editors who let scale validation papers be published without these are complicit.

[Dan Fitzpatrick @FitzEdPolicy]

@Dcollier74 @EliManning Yeah! Great idea!
Eli brings 2 of the 7 rings from non-Patriots players, to at least TIE Brady by himself
