This report by Levi Martin is both smart and fair in laying huge and justified criticisms on Rubin’s highly problematic report. I’ve said sociology does have a lot of problems, but it was a total sham for Washington U and Vanderbilt leaders to pay Rubin for this joke. osf.io/preprints/so...

Hi Heather. You should totally raise the issue with the editors. This is a growing problem and us editors are having to deal with it with limited resources and guidance from publishers. Sorry you are experiencing this. I have too as an author. Super lame and frustrating.

How about the newspapers write stories about how high the social sciences at UBC are globally ranked. Since, well, it’s true.

Thanks Ken, for your interest and the great questions. I'll defer to my colleague and lead author, Ryan Thombs. They did all the spatial econometrics modeling for the study. I'm sure they'll have thorough answers for you next time they hop on here.

I have family roots in Delta. My grandfather was mayor. I remember the IPP being built. One of the engineers who was brought in to help moved across the street from my grandmother. They installed solar panels on their roof. Always thought about doing research on it. Glad you’re doing it.
