Last month we went to Costco for Super Bowl snacks. Bought a giant bag of tortilla chips. It literally goes up to my knee (that's more a comment on the size of the bag and not on my height). Now I feel guilty when I have any other snack other than chips. I just keep saying, one more on repeat.

Knowing what works, for whom, and under what conditions is one of the most powerful tools I can imagine in public policy. Adding cost effectiveness analysis can improve efficiency while understanding context supports generalizability.

Odle said the loss of federal dollars is “an assault on the U.S.’s education data infrastructure.” He added that “at some point in their career, every education researcher in the United States has leveraged a product produced by the U.S. Department of Education or IES.”

Let me be clear on the personal ROI of Pell Grants: Pell grants gave me ~$20,000. In the last 15 years I've paid over $100,000 in taxes back to the government. That's the definition of a good investment. I would not be a tax payer had the Pell Grant not helped fund the opportunities. #edpolicy
