I've lived in Madison since 1988, but I may have achieved ultimate Wisco yesterday! I did a consumer cheese tasting panel @babcockdairy for mild cheddar. Free cheese + a Target gift card. Win win!!

It was great talking with @rothstein_jesse about @theNASEM committee looking at intergenerational poverty. One takeaway: to be able to evaluate effective programs & policies across generations and decades, well-designed data collection is key. Listen: https://t.co/GIjmpfmX7k

Don't miss this great conversation w/@SandyDarity & Kirsten Mullen on what true #reparations for Black Americans would look like, why it's not just about slavery, who should be eligible, who should pay + how much & in what form payments should be. Listen: https://t.co/iMvTbLREuG

I had the pleasure of talking with @NinaTotenberg on @centraltimewpr about Sandra Day O'Connor's legacy when she announced that she was leaving public life due to living with dementia. You can listen to the interview here: https://t.co/zD78ldCZ37

[Nina Totenberg @NinaTotenberg]

Sandra Day O'Connor has died.

Pres. Reagan delivered on his campaign promise to appoint the first woman to #SCOTUS and O'Connor soon became the most influential woman in America during her time.

But later she despaired about the direction of the court

I really enjoyed getting to discuss the topic of sleep equity with @DrDaynaAJohnson for the IRP podcast. Before I read her research, I really hadn't thought about sleep as a social justice issue, but I do now!
