More U.S. kids live in net worth poverty than income poverty, and almost no one studies it. Our new paper argues wealth deprivation shapes children's development in its own right, and that standard wealth measures miss the debts poorer families carry. academic.oup.com/cdpers/advan...

So happy this one wasn't patched yet

Screenshot of a Google search results page. The search box reads "i am phd student and see the pi approaching. wh…" (cut off). Below it, an AI Overview reads: "Look busy immediately. You are in great danger. An approaching PI means you might be given a new project right now." A section headed "Why You Must Act" lists three bullets — High expectations: your PI is warm from a grant meeting and will assign you fast; No escape later: once you make eye contact, it is too late; Preprint defense: your last preprint protects you a little bit, but not against a PI with a new idea. A second section, "Best Actions to Take," lists two bullets — Open a terminal: let something scroll, any output will do; Find a safe spot: get behind the poster tube or a stack of unread reviews. It ends: "Where are you hiding right now? I can help you find a safe spot in the department." A footer note says AI responses may include mistakes.
