The Cost of the Government’s Attack on Columbia American universities have given the country prosperity and security. The Trump administration’s attack on academic freedom endangers all of that.

The president of Princeton speaks out: “The attack on Columbia is a radical threat to scholarly excellence and to America’s leadership in research. Universities and their leaders should speak up and litigate forcefully to protect their rights.” www.theatlantic.com/ideas/archiv...

Growing up is finding yourself doing stuff your advisor did and finally understanding why they did it.

absolutely key as a methods point

your familiarity finding makes sense to me too as part of the mechanism. i'm not sure if it's all of it given that in text data (presumbly?) authors know the referent's gender? hope we get a chance to chat in person later this week

However, past research has shown that racialized names (i.e., names that are associated with part...

it's an interesting/troubling finding if it replicates. it seems to me like a potentially unique form of 'othering' given the primacy of gender in attributions of humanity (ala Ashely Martin's work)

male and female names that are common among self-identified Asian people were relatively unassociated with male and female gender concepts (e.g., "man" "woman") relative to White and Hispanic names

in a supplementary analysis this was much stronger for East Asian than South Asian names

this is on my list! excited for it.

as an aside, one of our recent findings might be of particular interest to this group

we find evidence of "degendering" in large-scale (mostly) English-langauge text about Asian people, esp East Asian: doi.org/10.1177/0146...

Don't tell Sara but I still mostly use ggplot in R 🤫
But for this plot yes it's a python creation

I made my first 3D plot! I was extremely proud of myself. I think it visualizes the clustering differences between red and blue better than the 2D plot.

My (non-psych) partner shrugs and says they look the same 🥲

3D's better right?

ps. Can you see which one is (sig) more clustered, red or blue?

this is extremely relatable

sometimes i've left myself notes that just say "think"

(9) So what? These concepts scaffold many imp decisions. The collective biases we found make it hard to be truly inclusive

Say you’re designing lotions for WOMEN, but oops, they work best for White women. Or you’re designing bikes for PEOPLE, but oops, they're better for men
