The Trump admin is obliterating the U.S. Forest Service, the largest forestry research organization in the world and agency that manages 93 million acres of national forest - larger than Texas. Yet another tragedy of this brainless administration.

I have a new paper. We look at ~all stats articles in political science post-2010 & show that 94% have abstracts that claim to reject a null. Only 2% present only null results. This is hard to explain unless the research process has a filter that only lets rejections through.

Stealing this from someone but can't remember who (out of admiration for their insight)

Your periodic reminder that no matter how incompetent someone in your orbit (or politics) might seem, at least they probably didn't design the Apple mouse charging mechanism

With national-level (and presumably many international-level) climate mitigation efforts now on hold for another 4 years, I invite people to join me on the adaptation/impacts side of the #ClimateCrisis

How can we compete with this?

ELON MUSK: “If Trump doesn’t win, I think this is the last election.”

JOE ROGAN: “I think you’re right.”

@paulnovosad Is there something in this paper to suggest that younger politicians are not only better at controlling deforestation but ALSO more effective at making sure their anti-deforestation policies don't hurt local incomes? Or only the former?

A doubling of exposure to microplastics increases low birth weight hazard by 0.37 per 1,000 births, which implies that over 205,000 cases per year globally can be attributed to microplastic exposure.

Payments for Ecosystem Services can be made 4x more cost-effective through a simple contract change -- enrollees have to enroll all of their forest. New research in Nature Communications by faculty affiliate @seema_econ. https://t.co/mi0q4zrxDa

I don't think your average Californian has any idea what a global leader their state is on climate policy, as @CoralMDavenport expertly lays out here:

Maybe also the immense pressure to focus only on RQs where causal ID is possible?

Econ/finance PhD students sometimes have trouble coming up with creative ideas. Partly this is because on average nobody reads much other than papers on class syllabi. If you read the same 30 papers as the 15 other ppl in your class, you're going to come up with the same ideas

Hey search committees, requiring letters of recommendation prior to an interview is wasteful.

The competitive job market means applying to 30+ jobs. It’s not fair to my LORs, especially if you aren’t serious about hiring me.

Increase the presence of international talent in The Netherlands by excluding those who don't speak Dutch or forcing it on people? Good luck to you sir.

Dustin, Nikhar and I have a conditionally accepted paper at @IntOrgJournal we'd love you to know about!

"[A] well-established pattern. A bright-eyed new World Bank president... comes in promising to leverage... public money to unlock the vast reserves of private sector cash itching to invest in infrastructure in developing countries... And then it doesn't really happen."

Conspiracy theorists who keep saying there’s “no way” the hurricane could have intensified so much without some human cause are so close to getting it.
