75% of US scientists who answered Nature poll consider leaving More than 1,600 readers answered our poll; many said they were looking for jobs in Europe and Canada.

Als Teil seines "Entlastungspakets 27" will der Bund das Budget des SNF @snf-fns-ch.bsky.social um 10% kürzen.
Wäre das wirklich klug, ausgerchnet in dem Moment, wo uns die US-Regierung das Feld freimacht im internationalen Wettbewerb um Top-Talente (👇)?

For those who didn't make it to #ASSA2025: strongly recommend @sendhil.bsky.social's AEA distinguished lecture, available at www.aeaweb.org/webcasts/202... (starting at minute 16)!

An academic paper has excellent empirical evidence & hypotheses that perfectly match the patterns in the data.

One catch: AI wrote the hypotheses after seeing the results.

Should this matter?

Are you planning to attend the 2025 ASSA meetings in San Francisco? All ASSA activities have been planned for three ASSA headquarters hotels. Employees at two of these hotels – the Hilton San Francisco Union Square and the San Francisco Marriott Union Square – are on strike and asking people to not meet, eat, nor sleep in the hotels. At the third headquarters hotel – the Parc 55 by Hilton – employees voted to authorize their leaders to call a strike at any moment. Yesterday, ASSA stated that allied associations can move planned sessions to alternative physical locations in San Francisco at their own expense and ASSA will facilitate updating of location information within their program system. This means there is a path to meaningful participation in the conference without crossing picket lines. Did you book your housing through ASSA? If so, then you are booked at a hotel where workers are either currently on strike, where they authorized a strike, or where the union says there’s a real risk employees will be on strike in early January. All the ASSA’s preferred hotels for housing are in one of these three categories, as detailed below. The hotel workers union has asked people not to patronize these hotels. What can a social scientist do as we face a conflict between our desires to: participate in the ASSA annual meeting in San Francisco taking place at hotels—both for meeting space and lodging—where workers currently are on strike or at risk of striking, respect the people employed by the hotels and their request of each of us to not meet, sleep, or eat in striking hotels as part of their wider local and national campaign to lift the industry’s job quality? This blog walks through background and different strategies available to each of us.

Attending #ASSA2025?
