It took over 4 years, but the paper is finally published. In this study, we developed novel methods drawn from #LegalEpidemiology to map addiction #stigma in California law.

This #interdisciplinary work was conceptually and methodologically difficult!⤵️

Very cool and normal day when a professor friend I texted to check in on after reports of a shooting at the start of last semester texts to check on me after reports of a shooting at the start of this semester.

If there's one empirical insight I'd want everyone to understand about American politics, it's this:

America's problems are solved problems. Just not here.

What would change if the US simply matched the average of 31 peer democracies? Not Denmark or Norway. Just the middle of the pack. 🧵

Screenshot of a data visualization titled “The Cost of American Exceptionalism,” subtitled “What would change if the U.S. matched the OECD average?” The page explains that each card shows how outcomes would change if the U.S. matched the average of 31 peer democracies. Below, a section labeled “Economy & Inequality” displays eight cards comparing U.S. figures to OECD averages. Highlights include: +$19K per household per year in redistributed income and +$96K in redistributed wealth if the top 1% matched OECD shares; a 71% lower CEO-to-worker pay ratio (from 354× to 101×); 50 million more workers with union coverage; 26 million more people with health insurance; $2.1 trillion saved annually in healthcare spending; $691 less per person per year in prescription drug costs; and intergenerational economic mobility being twice as high. Each card shows the U.S. value alongside the OECD average.

New open-access on FirstView: "Using Tiny Research Assignments to Support Active Learning" by @nnsawicki.bsky.social. This article gives actionable insights and exercises that are immediately useful to anyone teaching health law — and other fields, too. #pedagogy

Columns: Teaching Health Law
Using Tiny Research Assignments to Support Active Learning
Nadia Sawicki
Loyola University Chicago Law School, United States
Abstract
This article argues that weekly“tiny research assignments” in introductory health law courses promote active learning and deepen student
engagement. These focused exercises also build foundational research and communication skills by replacing passive lecture with concise,
student-driven investigation tied to each week’s topic.
Keywords: Pedagogy; legal education; active learning; research assignments; student engagement

The idea that getting surviving a disease is proof of strength and fitness has deep and largely disgusting roots in American history (see Olivarius’ book). In this case, they are drawing the lOgIcAl conclusion that needless exposure to disease is therefore a valuable test of strength…

Yeah it's shocking how insufficient free platforms are for serious legal scholarship

(Sorry I did not mean to sound so annoyed; it's not with you two I assure you it's just been so many years since I've had access to Westlaw)

Daniel S. Goldberg @profgoldberg.bsky.social · 2d

Just a reminder that legal scholars who do not work in law schools have no access whatsoever to Westlaw. I'd dearly love not to use Nexus Uni (rebrand, apparently) but I have no other options for legal database work

An arsonist hit a Mississippi synagogue Saturday. Seven Torahs were damaged or destroyed in the fire.

One Torah, from the Holocaust, was in a glass case and wasn't touched.

The same synagogue was bombed by the KKK in 1967.

A fire heavily damaged Jackson’s only synagogue before dawn Saturday – the same house of worship that was firebombed by the Ku Klux Klan in 1967 because the rabbi had been an advocate for civil rights...

Minnesota folks are known to be nice, but they can also put up a hell of a fight when the cause is right.

I'm currently writing an article about a different approach to bathroom expansion. But if it doesn't kill me, hopefully it'll contribute to the conversation.

Van Gogh painted Portrait of Dr. Gachet twice in June 1890.
The doctor leans on his arm, eyes heavy with thought.
The foxglove symbolizes medicine's reach and its limited ability to address human suffering.

That's not to say the rage was the primary factor in what made it successful, but rather at a minimum that its presence did not prevent success.

Daniel S. Goldberg @profgoldberg.bsky.social · 3d

I don't like arguing on microblogging sites, but I think this is a bit of a crabbed view. Hulk as a character is meant to explore the paradox of righteous rage, not to foreclose that exploration by declaring it a fantasy ex ante.

All successful social movements also involved rage.
