A number of folks in political science asked me for recommendations for books on qualitative methods. I really love this one. #RPVBooks #NewReadingMaterial
Academic AI bros are a fascinating group. Emphatically anti-reading, anti-writing, anti-conversation. But deeply committed to being called a researcher.
Turned down a speaking engagement in Portland last minute last year. I was told New York should be fine but put an early lid on plans to go there too. I miss travelling to the US and wonder when or even if there will ever be a good time to return.
Morgan J Freeman@mjfree.bsky.social · 6mo ago🚨🚨🚨 BREAKING: 11 Million Visitors Short Inside America’s Continuing Tourism Slump Last year, the U.S. was the only major destination to see a decline in international travelers. With increased scrutiny at the border, ICE violence and unpredictable policies, the new year isn’t looking better.
Must be nice to live in a country with a functioning justice system
Robert Reich@rbreich.bsky.social · 6mo agoYet another sad reminder that there is a two-tiered justice system in America: One for the rich. Another for everyone else. If elites can be held accountable in other parts of the world, why can't they be held accountable in America?
For folks who insist that STEM majors are the only legitimate university programs of study, the GOP sure seems to hate science.

My column today on how, the more you look at it, the more necessary and frantic the foiled Senate coup had to have been for those who attempted it. Will failure mean jail or getting off the hook, remains to be seen.
Aaaand I'm back.
Katharine Hayhoe@katharinehayhoe.com · 6mo agoBluesky is the new science Twitter, new study by @whysharksmatter.bsky.social and Julia Wester concludes! "Results show that for every reported professional benefit that scientists once gained from Twitter, scientists can now gain that benefit more effectively on Bluesky than on Twitter."
How might urban citizens live with extreme heat 100yrs from now?🔥 Still on a high from our CSB design futures workshop "The Repair Shop for Tomorrow: Provo-types for a Climate-Resilient Pluriverse" So many bright ideas from our students! Excited to mentor them as they apply for innovation funding.
Just finished all 3 seasons of Somebody Somewhere on Max. Such a sincere, empathetic, and sometimes delightfully irreverent exploration of humanity. Bridget Everett was brilliant as the main protagonist. Absolutely deserves its Peabody.
Are there any Global South academics out there rethinking travel plans the US? Supposed to deliver a lecture in OR this May. Some news reports about travel are unsettling. Getting mixed advice on how un/stable things might be by then.

Tropical forests are struggling to keep pace with climate change

There are countless phenomenal women to look up to, to be in solidarity with, to be valued as competent colleagues, and to be cherished as caring loved ones or as loyal friends. To be heard & celebrated all year round, not just today. That is the dream. #WomensDay2025
Universal healthcare isn’t just a pipe dream folks. Early human societies thrived by sharing resources and caring for the sick to ensure collective survival. It’s already in your code!

It’s so hard to find friends who relate to CEO problems. Let’s talk about how challenging it is to be a CEO and then let’s plan a meetup to bond. Maybe on a boat so we can see whaley whales, just look at some orcas

Hi, I’m God. Thou shalt not steal. That includes taking from the poor and giving it to the rich.
Suggested reading to grasp why (disaster) prevention policy continually fails to take off. One cause: policy environment is too complex so policymakers choose the *appearance of success* vs addressing root causes. Sounds familiar 'no? Open access chapters by authors: global.oup.com/academic/pro...
