I hope @MCPS and @dcpublicschools leaders have the vision to follow suit.

False beliefs about psychopathy are widespread--I talked to @bigthink recently about the reality of this disorder! One reason it's important to know the reality of psychopathy is that it's fairly common (one prevalent false belief: it's very rare). https://t.co/cDrF2qT9Id

While envy can get a bad reputation, it may not be as bad as some people think. Professor W. Gerrod Parrott explains how envy can be harnessed for good:

Great start to the conference on Boys and Men at @econ_uzh with @AnneBrenoe. Beginning with a thought-provoking keynote by @RichardvReeves @aibm_org. Excited for tomorrow's program and to present new work with @rebeccamryan1 on time use and subjective well-being among young men.

CDSP Co-director @rebeccamryan1 just launched a 3-year @wtgrantfdn funded study of a school-based food assistance program. With co-PIs @sopolicyscholar, @agpines, @pamela_herd, @ElizabethLinos, & @ariel_kalil, she will study the program's role in family life & student wellbeing.

Did you know men are more likely to undertake heroic acts, but women are more likely to donate a kidney to a stranger? 🤔 Check out this article to read more about Dr. Abigail Marsh's fascinating work on altruism. https://t.co/zqukNWEZe8

1/8 To mark #MensHealth week, @aibm_org has published some striking statistics, which I summarize in this 🧵 (Perhaps the most shocking are the last ones). Time to take men's health more seriously, everyone: https://t.co/daOgc036M0

Perhaps you saw a recent piece in Science, "Unsettled science on longer-run effects of early childhood." I think we actually know a lot more than the piece suggests, and I joined w/ several early childhood researchers to respond. Our thoughts here: https://t.co/5gLn9JmBfc

Shawn Rhoads @shawnrhoadsphd, a Postdoctoral Research Fellow at Mount Sinai and previous Hoya in our PhD program mentored by @aa_marsh , was awarded the 2024 Harold N. Glassman Dissertation Award in the Sciences in April for his dissertation. Congratulations Dr. Rhoads!

"Schools are lowering academic standards in order to enable more pupils to graduate."
This is such a self-defeating trend. When standards drop, the value of the degree itself drops. This ultimately hurts everyone with that degree. https://t.co/CTh5jOlLj4

All Maine students can now get free lunches, no application needed, reports @Eeshapendharkar @mainemonitor.

What does that mean for poverty data? https://t.co/8PEPG8IXYB

I often say to look at South Korea as a potential warning of what can happen to the politics of gender. But it’s global. Great piece from @jburnmurdoch citing the brilliant @_alice_evans & data from @dcoxpolls @Gallup & others

"When it comes to crime and inflation, the Great Normalization was remarkable. Huge problems rarely improve so much, so fast, in such defiance of conventional wisdom," Rogé Karma writes: https://t.co/jec9U1FDSo

"The consequences of a U.S. aid cutoff would be nothing short of catastrophic,” says @apolyakova. “I think a Russian win in Ukraine is frankly the end of U.S. global leadership.” https://t.co/BpHHbumKvt

[Matthew Yglesias @mattyglesias]

Politics is a long series of winning half-loaves, so you can’t generate good vibes if you’re committed to telling people they are constantly on the brink of catastrophe that can’t be ameliorated.
