Jag upplever mer och mer att jag saknar ord för att beskriva politiken. Man måste gå tillbaks till det Peloponnesiska kriget för att finna makthavare med samma kombination av arrogans och inkompetens.

tl;dr: NIH is running at about 60% of pre-Trump levels and NSF is running at about 20% of pre-Trump levels of funding-outlays (some directorates far below even that). Utterly catastrophic. An unforced disaster for U.S. society, and the world

For #NSF and #NIH watchers, Grant Witness now has interactive data on numbers of grants and total funding obligations, broken down by institute and directorate, new awards and non-competitive renewals. The stranglehold on new awards is still a disaster. grant-witness.us/funding_curv...

New- I spoke with political scientist Vlad Kogan about his provocative new book "No Adult Left Behind." He argues that the politics of public education privilege the interest of adults over students. I tried to pressure test his arguments in this Q&A. cbnewsletters.chalkbeat.org/p/no-adult-l...

Slutföra gymnasiet - men sedan ska de ut! Ett års frist där du ändå vet att du inte har någon framtid i Sverige, att du måste lämna allt och alla och bygga ett liv i främmande land. Ett litet köttben för att stoppa flodvågen av kritik. Ta inte köttbenet, håll trycket uppe!

One of the worst outcomes of grade inflation is that it discourages students pushing themselves. College should be about taking a class that's a bit too hard for you, or in a field you don't know much about... but the risk of a B when so many get straight As is real. Safer to stick to what you know.

One place the current system fails--and it's not the only place--is honors. I'm on the Committee to recommend honors in the economics department. It's increasingly hard to distinguish excellence with so many A's. I believe that now even two A-'s makes you ineligible for Summa.

📢now forthcoming in ECMA! The Class Gap in Career Progression: Evidence from US Academia Class is rarely a focus of research or DEI in elite US occupations. Evidence suggests it should be: we find a large class gap in at least one occupation - tenure-track academia...🧵
