I miss seeing Internet friends on academia twitter 🥹
On net I like Bluesky, but the shift really lost grad students (far fewer active here vs. during peak EconTwitter). With job market season, it’s been kinda nice seeing familiar faces who were in the Covid grad school trenches w me popping up again recently
Like hey there! I remember you! Cool paper

It’s disappointing that efforts to combat teacher shortages no longer aligns with this administration’s priorities www.jsonline.com/story/news/e...

@tashnuvashaheen.bsky.social - emergency licensed special ed teachers more likely to work in self contained settings, less likely to work in inclusive settings; more likely to work with students with IDD and ASD. Such important findings regarding inequitable sorting of special ed teachers!

My colleague Dr. Sehrish Shikarpurya and I got to work on a review of the use of Critical Quantitative Methods (CQM) within special education. In this review, we offer a blueprint for researchers to meaningfully integrate CQM into special education/disability-related research. osf.io/preprints/ed...

The murder of America's world-best higher education sector--a leading export good of the US economy--continues under this lawless autocratic regime, and gets worse
The White House is taking new steps to undermine every international student at our universities.
It has approved a new rule restricting student visas to 4 years max. That's not long enough for PhD students, or about half of undergrads, to finish their degree.
Likely to enter force within days.
