There's almost a month left to apply for DC Gov's summer internship program for undergrad and grad students. If you're interested in using scientific insights and methods, resident-centered design, data and evidence — mention The Lab @ DC!

I had the privilege to read an early draft of "Why Change Dies." Phil draws on his experience working with passionate young would-be change-makers to ask how/why social impact efforts go wrong - both structurally and personally. So excited to see the final version!#changemakers

[Philip Dearing @philip_dearing]

Pre-sales for Why Change Dies are officially open! https://t.co/kwDl0bDYgd

What's included in it? 🧵

@sarahkaplan48 We heard you on NPR! Way to go, hope the trip was rewarding and enjoyable!

@tanu_kumar1 So glad to see this published! I've been citing the working paper for years haha

It's discouraging that my gmail autocorrect is better than I am at the Spanish subjunctive

Love this challenge from @GSPhoyas! Friends on #AcademicTwitter, especially @Georgetown, this is a good window into ideas to help your #firstgen students (and all students!) participate in university life

"Is your dissertation done yet?"

[Alyssa Huberts @AlyssaHuberts]

@MAranzazuRU I try and figure out what nuance I think is being lost, and boil the quote down to that concept. A good example is the concept of "gestión" in Palmer-Rubin, Garay, and @MathiasPoertner's 2020 CPS paper

[Alyssa Huberts @AlyssaHuberts]

@guygrossman And about halfway through the semester (around midterms) I do a "blob tree" check-in where they say which blob they identify with that week and why (credit to https://t.co/7Cv1OS311n)

[Alyssa Huberts @AlyssaHuberts]

@guygrossman In Comparative Politics I did a "Fact or Fiction" exercise with a list of made up and real crazy current events (can share!); they had to guess which were true/false. I also often make my undergrads write haikus together about the readings/topic

[Alyssa Huberts @AlyssaHuberts]

Why hasn't someone created a "spanglish" setting on spellcheck?

[Alyssa Huberts @AlyssaHuberts]

Kevin's NYE game this year: When did it happen in 2020? 1 point for the closest guess, 2 points for guessing the exact date (Sharing only because I won...)

[Alyssa Huberts @AlyssaHuberts]

2020 books (stars are favorites). A darker reading list than I meant it to be, but a lot of beauty. Poet X was beautiful. Open City was prescient. I think about "Bird" in Mary Oliver's Upstream almost every day. And Trick Mirror fueled many pandemic walk conversations w/friends

@cesicruz What's more Latin American? Philippines or Italy? Discuss

Finally realizing that appendices are mostly just there to remind yourself why you made the choices you did in the paper
