Told 9yo the Nobel went to a scholar who studies why women get paid less than men. "Oh! Well we know that's true. Which is of course even worse because women usually do more work at home too. But I think men brag more about their work so maybe that's part of it."

To be clear, the gap between those academics who have caregiving responsibilities & those who don't isn't just about who is submitting now. It's about who has the cognitive and time resources to start new projects or write down ideas. The gap will be worse in a year or two.

If students don't turn up, the program can't really do much for them. If students turn up but instructors don't implement the program, it's not like you can really assess the effect of "the program". If you fully botch the implementation, you can't evaluate the program at all.

This is why we MUST invest in recruiting, retaining, and supporting talent in government. Career public servants quietly save the day, every day.

So excited to have all these amazing + competent humans entering gov't. But also, a huge TY to the thousands of civil servants who have held down the fort over the past 4 yrs, and whose expertise + ability to get things done are what will make all the things start happening ASAP

Hidden curriculum point (maybe?): If you are applying for a RA job and your CV isn't clearly linked to the research of the team, use cover letter to make your interest clear. *So* many diverse backgrounds can make a good RAship - just let your reader know why yours can.

I told my kid I was teaching 15 cities and she was so impressed! I then showed her this fantastic photo. She looked at me with disdain "um mommy that's not even enough people for one city."

Raise your hand if you learned English because of TV subtitles! Turns out subtitles are good for *all* kids! An amazing example of of a highly scalable nudge!

🚨 @nesta_uk research alert! 🚨 There is evidence that adding subtitles by default on kids’ TV could boost childhood literacy... but broadcasters are held back by an important evidence-gap: subtitles may be good for reading... but do they ruin the viewer experience? 🧵 (1/4)

Great thread of advice. My 2 cents: If you can't work directly in government (Plan A), spend a lot of your time learning and understanding what questions policy makers are asking (Plan B). Then use your time and expertise to answer those questions.

I had to call 911 this morning and wanted to say thank you to the dispatcher (likely @CambridgeMDPD ) who kept me calm while getting useful information and dispatching in minutes. You have a very very difficult job and you did it very well. (I'm fine- car crash in front of me).

Im just getting more and more furious that international students who have done everything right are now under attack by Trump's anti-immigrant xenophobia. Kids in cages didn't work? DACA students? Now legal immigrants and int. students? Let me guess, green card holders next?
