Things that will get you kicked out of academia forever:
- taking maternity leave at the wrong time
- spending too much time with your kids
- reporting harassment
- not moving every 2-3 years
- taking a partner's job/preferences into account
- mouthing off before tenure

This was already the case. I’m glad they wrote this
new paper by Sean Westwood:

With current technology, it is impossible to tell whether survey respondents are real or bots. Among other things, makes it easy for bad actors to manipulate outcomes. No good news here for the future of online-based survey research

I vehemently disagree with them not using the well as the logo for the school. The interlocking NC looks insane on my LinkedIn.

Just noticed that private label securitizations of prime mortgages are starting to make a comeback. And before any of you people start screeching about 2008, don't do that.

A study of a large Florida school district found that the effects of immigration enforcement on students’ academic performance was concentrated in high-poverty schools. The test score declines also occurred for U.S. citizen students.
ICE arrests could hurt student test scores, study says — and not just for immigrants
