Yesterday was a fulfilling day representing Canada in Boston! 🇨🇦
Here’s a moment from a thoughtful and productive conversation on housing policy with students at Harvard University, moderated by Justin de Benedictis-Kessner, at the Weatherhead Center for International Affairs.
@BostonPWD@CityOfBoston Hey @BostonPWD@MayorWu: these photos are lovely and I'm glad to see this finally happen. But crews seemed to have stopped clearing any bike lanes outside the 1-block radius around these photo locations. Mass Ave is *impassable* at several locations north of Westland Ave!
As he says: “learning isn’t just getting answers to questions.” Worth a listen for anyone who teaches, is learning (anything), or cares about the quality of education in the age of AI!
My friend and colleague @Kennedy_School@tedsvo shared his expert perspective on the use of AI in education on @NPR’s All Things Considered today: https://t.co/hAB2VU2WNL
This partisan finger-pointing is based on falsehoods. To fix crime, we should focus on evidence-based strategies to address crime, rather than engaging in a distracting blame-game. https://t.co/O7mbGlY4a1
Yet again, Trump is falsely claiming that Democrat-controlled cities like DC are letting crime get out of control. Our research – from cities across the US – shows that this just isn't true (@cwarshaw@Matthew00117310)
President Trump once again catapulted crime in D.C. into the national conversation.
“It has become one of the most dangerous cities anywhere in the World,” he said in a Truth Social post.

Our open-access research in @ScienceAdvances shows that the partisanship of mayors has no causal effect on crime rates. Nor does it affect police spending, staffing, or arrest rates. https://t.co/hXqfLqAA44
Are Democratic leaders making cities more dangerous than Republicans? Trump + others have repeatedly made claims like this. New paper @ScienceAdvances w/ @cwarshaw @daniel_b_jones @Matthew00117310 shows that, in short, the answer is no.

Well said, from @ProfDavidDeming: "If government funding goes away, so will much of the research. The long-run cost will be staggering. We’ll have fewer medical breakthroughs, the progress of lifesaving medical treatments will stall, and America may fall behind"
The Trump administration’s cuts to university research grants will make America sicker and poorer in the long run, @ProfDavidDeming writes. DOGE should stop "confusing efficiency with ill-conceived budget cuts." https://t.co/ZfDGWPd7wB
