As Trump Goes After Universities, Students Are Now on the Chopping Block Uncertainty about how much money colleges and universities stand to lose has led some schools to reduce the number of doctoral students, in some cases reneging on offers.

Trump’s cuts to university funding mean fewer spots, rescinded offers, and grad programs slashing positions.

Students are being stranded with no backup plan.

I agree. The more people you have in the household, the more chances you have of getting colds. I basically think we're all sick from August to May.

We just published an exciting paper. Due to the statistical flaws in validity studies, we don't know the error rates in firearms casework, i.e. the discipline doesn't have a scientific basis. @amandaluby.bsky.social @srvanderplas.bsky.social @mrosenblum.bsky.social

New preprint is up! arxiv.org/abs/2312.00032

Work with Heike Hofmann (one of the best statistical programmers out there) and Sheng Gao (an expert in clustering, now working in finance). Funded by CSAFE.

I loved @bwaber.bsky.social 's comment about the work, below:

A template README for social science replication packages. The template README provided on this website is in a form that follows best practices as defined by a number of data editors at social science journals.

Some thoughts about my experiment using a data editor. First, he is awesome: careful and timely. A big round of applause to Adam Spencer.

We want well-documented code and data packets. We encourage authors to follow these guidelines social-science-data-editors.github.io/template_REA...
