New paper examines the labor market effects of Florida's 2022 post-tenure review policy, which weakened tenure protections. The policy increased faculty exits-particularly among high-performing researchers. Also, there were no productivity gains among incumbents. papers.ssrn.com/sol3/papers....

Characters in search of a better author. Whether you like AI or not, these are genuinely funny. But note that the humor is provided by the human prompter.

Specifically, I experienced censorship in the reporting of our research because of agency concerns that it did not appear to fully support preconceived narratives of my agency’s leadership about ultra-processed food addiction.

1/3 Krasse Desinformation in der @woz.ch: «[…] konnte die Covid-Impfung für jüngere Menschen gewichtige Nebenwirkungen haben. Das Risiko einer Herzmuskelerkrankung war für einen geimpften Sechzehnjährigen etwa gleich hoch wie jenes, schwer an Covid zu erkranken.» 🤢

How immoral and unscientific: Trump terminates program tracking mass abductions of Ukrainian children by Russia.

Yale public health researchers spent years collecting and synthesizing data for the initiative, known as the Conflict Observatory.
Trump terminates program tracking mass abductions of Ukrainian children
Observers fear the move has compromised evidence of war crimes by Russian officials and will hinder efforts to rescue thousands of missing Ukrainian children.

Always a pleasure to share stage and backstage with you, @nachristakis.bsky.social!

Agree that that's how it's justified. But we have zero data whether that is true. Just because we perceive it doesn't mean it is. I would prefer more democratic rights.

Interestingly, many Swiss think that's a great idea - in the same way that people who don't have the right to launch popular initiatives / referenda think *that's* a great idea. I guess we all have our own personal Stockholm syndrome when it comes to justifying the political constraints we're given.

Today is one of those sobering days where we Swiss citizens are reminded that we have no say in who our executive leaders will be.

A real oddity in Switzerland, where citizens otherwise enjoy enormous democratic rights, including referenda and popular initiatives.

NEW: The actions of Trump and Vance in recent weeks highlight something under-appreciated.

The American right is now ideologically closer to countries like Russia, Turkey and in some senses China, than to the rest of the west (even the conservative west).
