"new gun laws", what are those?
December 16, 2025 at 1:30 AM
This past weekend, hundreds of students joined the many thousands of others across the country who will forever carry memories of terror and loss caused by senseless violence.

School shootings have been a constant threat in my life. If we care about our children, we cannot let this continue.

It's a policy choice that we're still experiencing mass shootings on a regular basis. It won't change until the legislators responsible for making those choices are held accountable for the deaths, injuries, and PTSD that occurs with each additional act of gun violence.
It has been 13 years since the lives of 20 children and six educators were taken in minutes by a gunman armed with a Bushmaster AR-15 rifle and high-capacity magazines at Sandy Hook School in Newtown, Connecticut. Two other people were wounded. 🧵

I am a student at Brown in communication with a friend at RIBC.

There is an urgent need for blood donations to support RI. Donations in NY, NJ, MN, NB, DE or NJ can help supply RI.

Spread the word.

I'm John Fallon, a labor economist on the job market. My JMP uncovers something wild: when chiropractors got licensed in the early 1900s, medical boards responded by making it HARDER to become a doctor.

Why would competition lead to stricter regulations?

This conference was great for so many reasons (7 person foosball games are intense), but getting to spend time with Gema and Taylor might have been the best part.
I had a great time at the 20 year celebration conference for the Department of Education Reform at the University of Arkansas. Enjoyed visiting with some great folks!

When you have limited $, how do you decide how to spend it?

A lot of districts are grappling with this question right now, and this story is a great window into those decisions.

Dysart Schools defends $500K Vegas trip as students lose bus service
Dysart Unified School District sent nearly 200 employees to Las Vegas for a training event that cost $500,000 weeks after ditching its school bus service for hundreds of students.

Curious what conferences will be like once they have AI review the obviously AI-generated submissions.

Will presenters just hit play and let ChatGPT talk about how OLS can identify causal effects from observational data by controlling for 3 variables?

If you're a grad student or an undergrad interested in research I need to you listen to me very carefully.

You cannot learn to write good research papers if you do not read good research papers.

Stop asking LLMs to summarize papers for you.

I thought exactly the same many, many times. Reviewers entirely ignore the methodological part of the paper and take its results at face value, but they will debate the "framing" of it in every little detail.
It's bonkers that in academic science we spend hours obsessing over the wording of a paper, but often only one person has seen the code that produced the results! 2/N
