1/ Why I am a deep peer review skeptic, even though I'm a journal editor and my articles (sometimes!) make it through peer reviews.

My paper with Dr. Hayley Pierce is now available online at the Journal of Research in Crime and Delinquency. Our paper explores the role of early ACEs in adolescent delinquency and whether this relationship varies by gender.

Check it out!

Great story coverage about studies on ACEs in @BYUsociology. An excellent story done by my colleague @shafer_soc on the role of trauma in fathering and my work with Dr. Hayley Pierce on how gender shapes ACEs and delinquency.

Devastated to learn that if you are awarded grant money, you must actually complete the studies you proposed.

I was surprised when my daughter said she learned R at school yesterday, and then I remembered that she's 4 and she meant the letter.

My priors are all too skewed

[Jeremy Freese @jeremyfreese]

Indeed.
Just like it’s a herd of cows and murder of crows and prickle of porcupines, it should be an unhappiness of sociologists. (HT: @pamela_herd)

I've been working on a new project to see what MLMs can teach us about relationships in a commercialized world. Really happy to have this first paper out at @SociologicalSci

[Sociological Science @SociologicalSci]

New paper by @curtisdchild takes a deep dive into the world of multi-level marketing to understand how people manage commercializing pressures in their relationships. https://t.co/8kWoezxNsA

Had a great experience publishing with @SociologicalSci. I think that this is what I naively thought publishing would look like when I first got started

[Curtis Child @curtisdchild]

@frye_maggie Krista Frederico @ua_sociology just finished a dissertation on it. I have a forthcoming piece on MLM sellers in @SociologicalSci that draws on Zelizer and others. Happy to share a copy
