Terrific piece by @jasonfurman on grade deflation at Harvard: https://t.co/T10zeYhEk8 For faculty/universities it's tricky — we want students to focus on learning and take risks, yet grades provide motivation and feedback. No perfect solution. Curious to see impact, response.

Two svy expt (N=7,511): Americans give less to Global South victims, esp. Republicans. Race effects context-dependent.

A few others wrote to say that even as Americans, they were rooting for non-Americans, including Joker to win 25 or for Alcaraz or Sinner. So far, no one writing to say they prefer Sabalenka or Swiatek.

With today's start of women's and men's singles at the #usopen25, I want to share my brief essay that appeared in the @nytimes yesterday. https://t.co/z6FewHv8s6

[Evan Lieberman @evlieb]

I received lots of great feedback, thx friends, and others. A minute after publication, a groundskeeper wrote to say I'd probably never been to the open because flags are prohibited! Well, I have been. But admit, I may have been remembering images from other tennis tournaments!

[Evan Lieberman @evlieb]

@LesothoJohn this looks super interesting. look forward to reading it.

Very happy to share that our study of dignity appeals is now out at @PSRMJournal

[PSRM Journal @PSRMJournal]

🧠Can dignity appeals boost engagement with marginalized groups?

➡️P. Bollen, W. Kymlicka, @evlieb & B. Read show that Facebook ads using dignity language spark positive reactions, but only when targets are not seen as “blameworthy” https://t.co/2fHTWiYHfm #FirstView
