WI legislators intentionally broke electoral administration. Includes many research references for those teaching electoral (mal)practice. https://t.co/hGDi5p0Mu4
Data Science and Democracy Workshop students presented their research in a poster presentation this morning. Research topics included gerrymandering, assessing transit equity in Baltimore, predicting COVID-19 uptake, and measuring civic health in youth and adults.

Really excited & proud to be part of “The Future of Science in America” by @AspenInstitute@leapsmag@good ... here’s a 🧵 abt some of the other amazing articles in the magazine https://t.co/v7hwScSEOz
Especially positive flying story: Man on our 15-hour Singapore-SFO flight violently ill after take-off. Dr onboard stabilizes him & saves his life!! We divert to HKG b4 going to SFO. @united crew (UA28, 13Jan) kept us informed & great attentive service for entire 19 hr journey!
I'm excited to show off something I've been working on for a few months now: the materials from a new class that I pinpoints a very different, and I think very promising way of teaching undergrad econometrics (thread)
@cdsamii @juli_schuess @analisereal @PHuenermund Illustrates bias and asymptotics both! Equivalent to do arrow Y(t) —> Y(t+1), matching more closely how the model is usually introduced?
New York has perpetually been at the bottom of the barrel of turnout rates. Now we'll see what the effect of passing these reforms can do to increase voter participation https://t.co/89ftl0uWiZ
BREAKING: Gov. Cuomo just signed a slew of voting rights bills into law that include:
-Early voting
-Pre-registration for 16 & 17 yr olds
-Same-day reg
-No excuse absentee voting
-Combining state/fed primaries
New York was trailing the country on voting rights. Not anymore.
Some reflections on the Causal Graphs course (https://t.co/mYXsaACEav) that I taught in the summer term. It was an incredible exciting and insightful experience. (Thread) #causalinference
This is a good piece about how the toughest gerrymanders largely held this election. It basically presents @GSWarrington's "declination" measure in visual form. He should get some credit! https://t.co/wkyL5dILcy
@SimonDeDeo @wylieprof Where are you seeing those reports about Mathematica? Mathematica 10/11 are 32-bit apps, so 10.15 will force an upgrade https://t.co/kuhhlV4u8M
A recent paper by Steiner etal https://t.co/R1KopHMdlf
sheds new light on how RCT, IV, RD and other model-free "designs" can be understood and unified from a graphical model perspective. #Bookofwhy#causalinference . A must for quasi-experimentalists and potetial-outcomists
This paper just came to my attention (and I can't forgive myself for not seeing it earlier) https://t.co/BHbKcaWotl
A friendly, comprehensive and unifying (no hangups) roadmap to epidemiological methodology. Highly recommended. #Bookofwhy#causalinference@EpiEllie@miquelporta
For data analysts who wish to understand causes and counterfactuals from linear regression viewpoint, I recommend this tutorial: https://t.co/gNBNP7HuWZ. It illuminates key concepts in #Bookofwhy by the light of linear models: effects, mediation, robustness and generalization.
