Today, I’m launching DAAF, the Data Analyst Augmentation Framework: an open-source, extensible workflow for Claude Code that allows skilled researchers to rapidly scale their expertise and accelerate data analysis by 5-10x -- *without* sacrificing the transparency...

What’s your song(s) to listen to after a sh*tty day, not to cheer you up but to sulk in it?
Something like Anna Nalick‘s “wreck of the day“
The reality here is that universities would love to hire visible and capable conservative scholars. That they have to create separate centers, and then hire people who would never make it in an open search, underlines the fact that its not anti-conservative bias, its a lack of strong candidates.
Congrats!
🚨 Please share widely! 🚨
I'm hiring a postdoc (from Aug 1) to help build a new research program on politically sustainable immigration policies at Notre Dame.
Looking for a social scientist with strong quant skills, familiarity with new computational tools, and interest in public-facing research.
Also, please share for visibility!
Are you a PhD Student curious about working in topics of health and aging? Do you feel like you may need extra support? I have a program for you!

I watched two 16-year olds get abducted, I have not been able to get any organization to try to help them, I think about them every day, I read stuff like this and I want to puke
This is the second account - the first being in Chicago - of DHS agents mass detaining people and then *sorting them by race*.
New, from me: Trump finalized his Schedule F policy, allowing him to remove job protections from career civil servants.
The new rule is dishonest and unmoored from reality in its effort to formalize the politicization of the federal government 🧵

John, you should have told me when I was younger that things would only get worse! Lol 😂
And just overall doing less. I think I got it a little bit better just by actively trying to do less in general. I've also gotten worse at email. I used to be very good at replying to things on time but now I sometimes don't prioritize my email.
LOL no worries. This one is easy because I don't have any good advice. I'm also drowning. The advice that I think helped only ever so slightly on the margin are things that everyone knows, like'say no to more things'. Prioritize tasks and focus on what you absolutely need to get done or is urgent.
1000%. I had no idea how busy i would be
Haven’t you notice that we are all drowning? Lol do we hide it that well?
I think a lot just falls through the cracks and then a reputation is build. Idk this is also N of 1
🎶 I ask the traffic lights if it'll be alright
They say, "I don't know"🎶
In some ways this is a good problem to have. It signals that your opinion matters and that you build networks throughout your profession that value your feedback or work. It is still, at the end of the day, things that use up a very valuable resource: time.
A PhD asking for feedback on slides, or a peer asking comments on their paper (they gave you comments on yours), or things that you feel like you need to return to favor to the profession, like thoughtful referee reports or reviewing submissions for a conference.
It's being asked a # of small favors that come from a from a bunch of different places, people we've met throughout the profession. Every little ask feels small & relevant to say no, so we just say yes but all those things accumulate:
As a PhD student, I was told that "seniors" are always really busy, though I speculated, I really wasn't sure how this materialized. I'm not yet SSJ3 Senior, just like baby-senior, but one way it materializes is "Death by 1000 cuts" ⬇️
"When researchers cannot specify and be transparent about what equity means in their work, it risks becoming an aesthetic rather than a commitment."
Sharp piece by Choi et al outling several issues with contemporary research that have increasingly troubled me.

Why?
The authors provide two reasons:
First, economic strains leads individuals to compensate for their loss of legal revenues with illegal earnings.
Second, cancer patients face lower expected cost of punishment through a lower survival probability.
Wow!
I just came here to say that I'm 10 years out from my PhD and I'm "tenured" and the imposter syndrome is still strong. Maybe not for everything but for a number of aspects of my job.
Ok that was fun, let’s pause ai or like slow it down.
This thread is sickening. But it's so important not to look away.
One very unsurprising common characteristic
Navigating non-public childcare closures with educators and parents sometimes feel like a headline that reads: “Higher wage earners pressure lower wage earners to work so that higher wage earners can keep earning their high wage."
Sometimes so-called “problem solvers” are so focused on solving a problem that they become a tad blind to other implications that solving the problem entail. Depending on who the problem solver is, some of those consequences disproportionally affect people in less powerful positions.
Yes. And we all should be.
