Thinking of starting a new club in my PhD cohort called the "Randomized DnD Club". Every week we roll a dice to decide whether we play Dungeons and Dragons or discuss the latest Difference in Differences literature

PSA: Do not attempt to fly with Burdick's hot chocolate mix. It will be tested for explosives

(Thankfully it does not actually contain explosives)

New work on school cell phone bans just dropped.

"Bans...led to a[n] ... increase in student suspensions in the short-term ... but disciplinary actions began to dissipate after the first year."

"We find significant improvements in student test scores in the second year of the ban."

I'm used to running into the sub vs. dub debate on the internet, but it is especially cool to see it pop up in academic bluesky rather than an anime subreddit

As someone who'd love to test this--I feel like "More of what?" is the sticky part underlying this question. It seems to me like these two tasks lend themselves to different outcomes, and those outcomes may be more or less preferred depending on what one sees as the aims of education

Female academics are much more affected by the birth of a child than are male academics.

Academic mothers are much more likely to...

A screenshot of the abstract of the working paper

Figure 1: School Enrollment Pathways for Lottery Winners and Control Group Students through 8th Grade. This figure represents school enrollment pathways across different school types (BPS, BPS Exam School, non-BPS district school, charter school, and other) for both lottery winners and the control group. The thickness of the lines represents the percentage of lottery winners/control group students that are enrolled in each type of school. Blue lines show the pathways taken by lottery winners, and BPS-specific school categories are highlighted in the light blue boxes. BPS = Boston Public Schools.

πŸ€” What kind of Pre-K experience sets students up for long-term success?

Our new working paper offers important new evidence to help answer this question!

Just finished watching #Andor. Great series. I think my favorite part was when Luthen and Cassian solved those really hard math problems together

Wow!

Each $1 spent on Universal Pre-Kindergarten generates between $3-$20 dollars in aggregate earnings.

That's enough to offset the costs of Universal Pre-Kindergarten through higher tax revenues.

🧡 But since Head Start's inception, there have been disagreements about whether or not the program "works." So let's review what we know from rigorous research on Head Start's effectiveness, and let's start with what it means for the program to work. 🧡 1/n
