Being featured (at about 39:50) on a podcast with the tagline "where sanity takes a backseat and laughter rides shotgun" and the episode title "Radioactive Shrimp" wasn't on my professorial bingo card, but it was a pleasure!

US women narrowed the pay gap with men by having fewer kids Two sociologists found that when the pace at which family sizes was shrinking slowed down, starting in the 1990s, progress toward closing the gender pay gap grew sluggish too.

"The number of children Americans have affects the gender pay gap only because parenthood decreases women’s wages while increasing men’s wages." @umichstonecid.bsky.social

We couldn't put alllll the work of engaging the pronatalists on your shoulders!

It was an absolute honor to share a @umpsid.bsky.social RA office with @ninsolera.bsky.social more years ago than either of us care to remember, and it's a joy to have her as part of the @umichstonecid.bsky.social team now!

Big fan of @chinyereagbai.bsky.social's work and this paper - great to see it in print!

JUST went through this. My personal fave was my pharmacy chain's app proclaiming the prescription was in stock at other locations and then, once I transferred the prescription, saying "lol kidding."

The consulting services of UM's CSCAR have helped legions of graduate students and faculty. Ending these services puts Michigan out of step with its peer research institutions and especially disadvantages Michigan scholars with the fewest resources.

As a resident of the Great Lakes State and a frequent visitor to said lakes, I regret to inform NYT readers that the lakes are only mediocre and East Coasters should definitely continue exclusively vacationing at their salty, shark-infested beaches.

Learned recently that my mom sets a date before which my dad is not allowed to complain about the lack of football. That date is May 1.

Hey that's @robertmanduca.bsky.social's research!

20 years ago, I was on a jury in a domestic violence case. Like the Diddy trial, the facts were not much in dispute, only their interpretation. The way the other jurors talked about the survivor's complicity is seared into my mind forever. Today makes me think not enough has changed.

I could swear I've seen an ICPSR t-shirt from the '90s that read "different slopes for different folks." Possible?

Financial and Transfer Income as Components of the Regional Economic Base Government transfers and financial income form a major component of the basic sector in the United States.

Received my first-ever bulk mail addressed to "Mrs. and Mr. Alexandra A Killewald."
Well played, Food Bank of Eastern Michigan.

As a grad student, Sheldon Danziger wrote on my draft: "what is 'existing' literature? Is there non-existing literature?" and it's seared into my mind forever.

Not sure I trust you to bring an elite carrot cake.

The gift you get when your friends really know you. Who's in?

Every time I write "the literature is mixed" what I mean is "I don't want to talk about it"

You’re probably richer than you think because of the safety net – but you’d have more of that hidden wealth if you lived in Norway The typical worker on the verge of retirement is due roughly $412,000 in this under-the-radar wealth.

How wealthy are you? Join our own #umich #sociologist @robertmanduca.bsky.social as he explores an aspect of personal wealth many of us overlook: the benefits Americans will get from Social Security and other similar government benefit programs (via @us.theconversation.com). myumi.ch/4mxgq

My husband threatened to inscribe the gamma distribution on my wedding ring: "You won't forget our wedding date, but you ALWAYS forget the gamma distribution."
