Our last encounter was a celebratory hug for his 2024 ASA Du Bois award and we reminisced about debating socialisms in Budapest in 2002 when we first met. Rest in power, dear Michael Burawoy. As we mourn this most tragic loss, my heart goes out to so many I know he mentored and loved.

An actual slide from University Emergency Response Training:
Emergencies to be prepared for, next to earthquake and fires:
-widespread flooding or severe weather
-hazardous materials incidents
...
...
-zombie attacks/other civil unrest

Now properly certified and certainly unprepared 🤯

The science behind winning a Nobel prize?

How much do you usually tip? #money

Conrad Hackett @conradhackett.bsky.social · Nov 30

A majority of Americans say they would tip 15% or less for an average restaurant dining experience, including 2% who wouldn’t leave a tip at all.

Adults in lower-income households & those ages 65+ are more likely than their counterparts to say they would tip 15% or less in a situation like this.

Chart shows that for a majority of Americans, a standard tip when dining at a sit-down restaurant is 15% or less.

As a professor, I work in an industry in decline. It's taken me a long time to come around to this idea, but it's hard to ignore the signs. I suspect people at certain institutions and fields long ago reached this conclusion. But it shapes how I think about my work and future.
