This cure for sickle cell anemia was made possible by NIH-funded research to turn the gene for fetal hemoglobin back on. It was done predominantly by NIH researchers, including intramural researchers on the NIH campus. irp.nih.gov/catalyst/33/...

I just heard this as well. The entire staff of the National Center for Education Statistics, created in 1867, has been fired.

Truly one of the greats. He gave us the words and the permission to study inequality in a way that has shifted so many careers and in turn impacted so many lives. Christopher Jencks, a Shaper of Views on Economic Inequality, Dies at 88 www.nytimes.com/2025/02/12/b...

His clear prose, illuminating data and novel arguments helped transform debates around issues like public education and welfare reform.

In 2008 I was TA for Intro to Am. Politics. After Obama’s election, prof lectured about how results were predictable given economy and fundamentals. Then it felt cold blooded but now I see his point. Almost any ‘08 Dem could win after recession and almost any ‘24 Dem was gonna lose after inflation.

We’re going to hear lots of stories about which people, policies and rhetoric are to blame for the Democrats’ defeat. Some of those stories may even be true! But an underrated factor is that 2024 was an absolutely horrendous year for incumbents around the world 👇

This summarizes new results from an essential 2022 study by Kline, Rose, and Walters. Some employers discriminate much more than others. www.nytimes.com/2024/04/08/u...

Some companies discriminated against Black applicants much more than others, and H.R. practices made a big difference.

Come on, sociology, get it together. From survey of (1) social science researchers who recently published in top 10 journal in field, and (b) PhD students in top 20 programs in North America. (n= 3257, 53% of initial sample of 6114). Ferguson et al 2023. www.nature.com/articles/s41...
Graph of respondents to survey who say they (a) have ever shared data or code or ever preregistered study and (b) are in favor or not in favor of these open science practices. Shows sociology has less open science behavior, less support for data/code sharing and preregistration than econ, poli sci, and psych.

Pew Research Center analysis found that Democrats and Republicans in Congress are now farther apart ideologically than at any time in the past 50 years. Republicans have moved further to the right than Democrats have to the left. www.pewresearch.org/short-reads/...
