The assault on NIH is a test for how the national media covers the Trump admin: Trump is shutting down medical research!

That is easy to communicate. Will they treat it as a 5 alarm fire in a way that forces the government to respond, or will they downplay & caveat it?

Today is transgender day of remembrance. GLAAD defines this as "an annual observance on 11/20 that honors the memory of the transgender people whose lives were lost in acts of anti-transgender violence." Our transgender colleagues, friends, students, family members need us to stand up for them.

IMHO, many economists also do not pay as much attention as they ought to to how the data were collected, what they are representative of, and what patterns of missingness there are. This is true for administrative and proprietary data as well as survey data.

Today is #BiVisibilityDay. Fellow academics, Gallup's recent poll suggests 15% of Gen Z (their definition, born 1997-2003) are bisexual. Be kind to your queer students. Bi+/pan students, you aren't alone in the academy (bi+ woman professor from Gen X here).
