I have done this a few times... In our profession we got so much rejection and even R&Rs may focus on the negatives. Telling someone you like their paper is refreshing for the person and you too!
You can do this right now:
Think of a person who wrote a paper you love, whose work influenced or helped you, or has made your professional life better.
Search up their email address. Shoot them a quick email of thanks. It means so, so much. This is a rough time of year, share some joy.

Community college enrollment has been declining since 2009/10. The optimal policy response to this depends on the root of this decline.

With rent control in the news, it’s a good moment to recall the research of @rebeccadiamond.bsky.social and co-authors.
They show that strict rent control in San Francisco reduced the availability of rental housing, eventually *raising* rental costs.

Do profs respond to student evaluations?
On average? Nope.
Those who have a more positive view of their own teaching do.
But all of these responses are driven by the female teachers.
