I've been working on a new tool, Refine, to make scholars more productive. If you're interested in being among the very first to try the beta, please read on.
Refine leverages the best current AI models to draw your attention to potential errors and clarity issues in research paper drafts.

Homeowners insurance in an era of climate change
The U.S. Treasury data shows homeowners insurance is becoming more costly and harder to procure in light of climate change.

Its near-final budget proposal would end all NOAA research labs, academic institutes, and regional climate centers. And it wants to fully end the NOAA Research division.

It’s not California and it’s not Florida - it’s Texas.
As this article explains, the only state subject to more wildfires than Texas is California. Texas even leads California in acreage burned.

Great points, especially 3. I got into C++ in high school and learning R or Python after undergrad was so much easier than learning Stata.
I would like the pitch people on R/Python for your social science students
1) Your outside options explode (i work in ML now!)
2) The scope of projects you can do explodes! (i was able to throw together remote sensing datasets)
3) If theyve taken any CS before, stata is insanely weird
