Google Scholar Is Doomed Academia built entire careers on a free Google service with zero guarantees. What could go wrong?

Since search is dead, how soon do you think Google Scholar is headed for the Google Graveyard? I'm betting it's soon, and academia is NOT prepared

@jdmatsudaira.bsky.social I can't find the gender earnings gap on the College Scorecard website ? I find info on earnings by major X college, but not by gender as well. Any chance it's been taken down, or do you have tips for how to find it

Oh great - thank you!

Young People Face a Hiring Crisis. AI Is Making It Worse. Artificial intelligence is transforming the entire pipeline from college to the workforce: from tests and grades to job applications and entry-level work.

Derek Thompson @dkthomp.bsky.social) has an interesting new Substack blog that echoes the trendy pundit finding that unemployment rates for new college grads are at record highs relative to the overall employment rate. open.substack.com/pub/derektho...

Here’s a Harvard student with more courage than the University President www.thecrimson.com/article/2025... via @annaekstrom.bsky.social

"Suri was teaching a course and attending Georgetown as a postdoctoral fellow".

His wife is a US citizen. They have three young children.

The US has embarked on a campaign of terror, particularly focused on educated people who are "other" than us.

Disgusting.

USTR: "The elasticity of import prices with respect to tariffs, φ, is 0.25. The recent experience with U.S. tariffs on China has demonstrated that tariff passthrough to retail prices was low (Cavallo et al, 2021)."

Cavallo et al: φ is 0.945.

Ooh thank you
