I am deeply saddened to share the loss of Rowell Huesmann on December 21st. Rowell and I worked together for many years, and he was a good friend and colleague. I will miss my conversations with him about research and life. We didn't agree on everything, but we could have good in-depth discussions.

Hanging out with William James at the @psychscience.bsky.social office. Lots of discussion of new ways forward for APS. Let me know in comments what would keep or make you a member in the future.

If you want to be horrified by a graph or statistic have a look at this one. Column 5 is the difference in reading scores between males and females in reading in 12th grade. Pretty large differences. nces.ed.gov/programs/dig...

I eat lunch in front of my computer almost every day-actually mostly snack and don’t eat lunch at all. This week I’ve been reminded that it is good to take a break during the day.

There is plenty to be unhappy about in the budget reconciliation bill, but for someone who studies the importance of intergenerational education effects-losing the ability for low and middle class to have federal assistance to pay for college will have lasting generational effects

These are important points. Univ. of Michigan is the 3rd largest employer in Michigan. Due to stable jobs and good benefits, people with all educ. backgrounds have jobs. So do places UM buys from.
