11.10.2025 14:01 — 👍 0 🔁 0 💬 0 📌 0My number one tip for researchers that do a significant amount of non peer reviewed paper publication/outreach:
Create an excel table, every time you give an interview, talk, write an oped or white paper, etc. take 5 seconds to immediately note it in the excel.
If you're in Austin, please join us tonight at Alienated Majesty Books for a launch celebration, where we'll be screening a short film and I'll be in conversation with climate activist Alexia Leclercq and anthropologist Craig Campbell: alienatedmajestybooks.com/events/34023...

Screenshot of policy brief that reads: This delay (or outright refusal) to compile a robust COE weakens our nation’s ability to accurately assess the current condition of education and the progress we have made. Policy actors such as the Congressional Research Service use Digest tables. Scholars leverage the COE to explain in policy briefs the effects of K-12 class-size reduction policies or whether an “enrollment cliff” actually looms for higher education. The press also uses this data to help the public understand issues like the rise in total cost of attendance at colleges and universities or challenges in the teacher labor market in the wake of the COVID-19 pandemic.
Morning! I did a lil analysis and turns out that, when ED employees are illegally fired and contracts are canceled, ED is unable to fulfill its congressional mandate to publish national statistics on the condition of education.
Why does that matter? Well...
