This thread is an interesting read. There’s a lot to think about re: the structure of academia

[Brendan Nyhan (@BrendanNyhan on 🟦☁️) @BrendanNyhan]

1. Shrink the best PhD programs, shut down lots more
2. Provide students with *much* more info about what they're getting into, being careful to avoid differentially discouraging those from underrepresented groups
3. Be cautious about survivorship bias in advice (both sides!)

[Kevin Carey @kevincarey1]

Here's the one stat you need to understand the crisis in the academic labor market: Colleges hired over half a million new professors to teach the Millennial generation. 94 percent were off the tenure track. https://t.co/oFU06EpTdL

@emayfarris I think the question is sharing before/after class. I post mine after class (but am considering doing it before).

I love the commitment here. @thePhDandMe , do you have them reflect on how much they actually use the sheet to help them vs how helpful making it was?

[jclip @jclip4]

@Victor_Asal Good because I’m not sure what I’d do without these buzzfeed quizzes and your responses!

Thanks everyone! Hooray for internet friends! I’ve requested these books from the library—excited to get reading!

[jclip @jclip4]

Reading recs for a Chicago-based research course? Particularly interested in diverse readings using different types of methods (re: race and gender of scholar and quant/qual approach). Books, articles, and other sources (podcasts) welcome!
