I suggested a “drink when you see an AI posting challenge” with a friend and she pointed out I would be dead if I tried it.

In a new pub, we examined subgroup differences in Asian American children, particularly 1) the diversity of math achievement and 2) what factors predict this diversity. Ultimately, we wanted to see whether the factors predicting math achievement is the same across subgroups.

Proud to say I encouraged @damcotto.bsky.social to post this.

The 'revelation' here is a bizarre NYT hit piece on a researcher who said she wanted to make sure her findings were accurate before publishing them.

This is a deeply problematic decision by Wiley!

This decision is not only PCI-hostile. It has far-reaching preprint-hostile consequences.

I hope this is all based on a big misunderstanding that Wiley will soon be able to resolve. Wiley should rapidly rectify its highly problematic decision.

Good morning #MCLS2025! We’re starting bright and early for the business meeting.

Be sure to complete the DEIJ bingo and turn it in at the registration desk before the end of the day today!

I need advice on how to go to 3 parallel sessions at the same time 🤔 #MCLS2025

I'm not teaching this term, so rather than working this out with my students I will subject you to it. My read of this (tentative) pronouncement on AI in K-12.

1) It see grift & profit-seeking for Trump & co.
2) Fed power in ed is limited, can incentivize > require.
&
3)THIS IS ABOUT WOMEN. 🧵

Excited to see everyone in Hong Kong in June 2025, Padua June 2026, and [YOUR HOME CITY] June 2027! Deadline to submit a nomination to host MCLS 2027 is May 1 -- check your email for more info!

Big shoutout to @rebeccaperetzlange.bsky.social for sharing her teaching resources!

I will not stand for this cake slander but I know that we can ALL agree that cupcakes are an abomination and should be wiped off the face of the earth.

Also a (smaller) change on "how do you feel interpreting information presented in a graph, table, or chart", but no change in math anxiety or test anxiety which means Ss aren't just being more generous overall.

The best thing about assigning a final paper for ug intro stats where students pick a question based on their own survey data, ID the right analysis, and write it up is that I get to test whether responses to "How do you feel about statistics (1-5)?" has changed from start of semester to end.

Yes! I am familiar and see them in stores all the time (parent of 1.5yo)

Was pleased to flee the country for a few days and be given the opportunity to present some of my work at @usherbrooke.bsky.social and @mcgill.ca earlier this week! Thanks so much for the invite, Gabrielle Garon-Carrier and Caroline Fitzpatrick!

Please amplify!
