I have a new paper. We look at ~all stats articles in political science post-2010 & show that 94% have abstracts that claim to reject a null. Only 2% present only null results. This is hard to explain unless the research process has a filter that only lets rejections through.

Alt Headline: Process focused generation mad when students become hyper focused on processes. 🙄
One of the Harvard report’s most compelling findings is that students almost universally speak about grades in terms of how much effort they put in. If they spend a lot of time studying and do all of the work asked of them, they believe, they should get an A. https://chroni.cl/4iiaoA3
Grading Is Broken
A growing number of professors say A’s have lost their meaning. They’re divided on the right solution.

1 in 5 chemists have deliberately added errors into their papers during peer review, study finds
Conclusion is one of many in a report about how chemists handle errors in manuscripts

IRB peer-review should always be publicly available for every published study (without requesting it). Even if it’s exempt.
Transparency matters.
But mostly I want to know how the hell you got that study approved. 😂

Student, to professor: "I'm not entirely sure this is legal to be teaching, because according to our president there's only two genders... and I don't want to promote something that is against our president's laws as well as against my religious beliefs" www.kbtx.com/2025/09/09/a...
A&M Dean removed following student complaints over curriculum
The Department of Justice has also acknowledged the situation and said it would be investigating.

This article hits home & reflects a lot of my teaching philosophy. I’ve spent little time teaching, but I’ve spent a ton of time being a student. It wasn’t until my instructor education toward the end of my didactic career that I understood how to learn.

Totally blew some students' minds last week with the fact that Bluetooth was named after King Harald Bluetooth who united the tribes of Denmark into a single kingdom (bc Bluetooth technology connects devices) AND the Bluetooth symbol is a bind rune that combines his initials, H (ᚼ) and B (ᛒ).
