The NIH just released a proposal that will apparently hide peer reviewers’ impact scores and percentiles from the research team, their institution, and NIH program officers. All the better to obscure how funding decisions will be made primarily via political review, I’m guessing.

Interesting use of my work in a new paper. Authors use well-established finding that ideology is weaker predictor of party id among Black Ams than among White Ams as benchmark for sample quality. Representative samples recover that pattern. Less rep. samples do not. www.nature.com/articles/s41...
Screenshot from the supplemental materials of a research paper. The text explains that the authors use established findings from probability samples as benchmarks for sample quality, including the weaker relationship between political ideology and party identification among Black Americans than among White Americans. Below, three scatterplots compare representative and nonrepresentative samples. In the representative samples, the Black trend line is much flatter than the White trend line. In the nonrepresentative sample, the two trend lines are much more similar, suggesting the distinctive racial difference is not recovered.

We've known that socioeconomics (SES) matters for the 🧠. New & 🤯 is that SES drowns out all other brain associations, incl. IQ. If you train an algorithm to predict IQ from brain data, it's still way better at predicting SES. Science Mag: www.science.org/doi/10.1126/... @smarek0502.bsky.social 👀🧵👇

good morning specifically to the FBI agent who introduced Mamdani’s dad to Marx
guy said, “Do you like Marx?”

I said, “I haven’t met him.”

Guy said, “No, no, he’s dead.”

“Wow, what happened?”

“No, no, he died long ago.”

I thought the guy Marx had just died. So then, “Why are you asking me if he died long ago?” 

“No, he wrote a lot. He wrote that poor people should not be poor.” 

I said, “Sounds amazing.”

I’m giving you a sense of how naïve I was. After they left, I went to the library to look for Marx. So that was my introduction to Karl Marx.

BS: The FBI.

MM: The FBI. Then, of course, I took a class on Marx. Couldn’t just get Marx out of the library. But,
