Quick trip to Seattle. Looking forward to having @psychscience.bsky.social 2027 convention here! Come join me next year for interesting science, interactive sessions to involve the membership in matters that we are facing as a field, and to drink good coffee and eat seafood 😀

We are getting ready to launch the National Survey Panel at the Survey Research Center at ISR. We are hoping to provide an avenue to keep rigorous scientific survey research available to the community. #realvoices,#respectedresearch @um-src.bsky.social

The NSF 2027 budget has noted that they will close out the Social, Behavioral, and Economic Science Program (SBE). This is not a good thing. nsf-gov-resources.nsf.gov/files/FY-202...

I am deeply saddened to share the loss of Rowell Huesmann on December 21st. Rowell and I worked together for many years, and he was a good friend and colleague. I will miss my conversations with him about research and life. We didn't agree on everything, but we could have good in-depth discussions.

If you want to be horrified by a graph or statistic have a look at this one. Column 5 is the difference in reading scores between males and females in reading in 12th grade. Pretty large differences. nces.ed.gov/programs/dig...

New Zealand is one if the few places I’ve been that I immediately thought I could easily live. Auckland is great and the people of NZ are terrific. Great job to consider

I eat lunch in front of my computer almost every day-actually mostly snack and don’t eat lunch at all. This week I’ve been reminded that it is good to take a break during the day.

There is plenty to be unhappy about in the budget reconciliation bill, but for someone who studies the importance of intergenerational education effects-losing the ability for low and middle class to have federal assistance to pay for college will have lasting generational effects

These are important points. Univ. of Michigan is the 3rd largest employer in Michigan. Due to stable jobs and good benefits, people with all educ. backgrounds have jobs. So do places UM buys from.

"Stocks on Wall Street slumped at the start of trading on Wednesday, dragged lower by data that showed consumer prices rose more than expected in January, leaving the Federal Reserve little cause to lower interest rates again soon."

And so it begins... "The Consumer Price Index jumped more than expected, data from the Bureau of Labor Statistics showed on Wednesday, rising 0.5 percent from December in what was the fastest monthly increase since August 2023. Last month, the annual pace was 2.9 percent."
