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.
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

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!
Some notes and results from the paper, which is here: https://t.co/xL110XUy9l
Paper is abt where the public stands -and where it could stand- on climate finance transfers.🧵
"[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.
