My JMP builds a 20-year panel showing an after-school care reform increased university grad. rates. 🎓
The key: moving children from home 🏠 to care centers 🧑‍🧒‍🧒, where peer interactions shaped preferences and beliefs — not skills🧮.

Smallpox declined gradually, until the WHO coordinated the global effort to eradicate it 🧵
A line graph showing the number of countries where smallpox was endemic from 1920 to 1980. There are five colored lines representing different regions: Africa, Asia, the Americas, Europe, and Oceania. The y-axis indicates the number of countries, ranging from 0 to 50, while the x-axis marks the years from 1920 to 1980. Each region's line trends downward, reflecting a decline in endemic countries over the years. Significant events are marked with dashed vertical lines: in 1959, the WHO resolved to aim for eradication; in 1967, an intensified eradication campaign began; 1977 marks the last recorded case; and in 1980, smallpox was declared eradicated. A note at the bottom specifies that the precise year of elimination in Oceania is only known for Australia (1917) and New Zealand (1914). Additionally, data sources are cited as Fenner, Henderson, Arita, Jezek, and Ladnyi (1988) and the graph is attributed to Saloni Dattani, licensed under CC-BY. The source of the data is Our World in Data, which focuses on research and measures against global issues.

I wrote a piece for @sciam.bsky.social about why White parents should be talking to their kids about race and racism. It was so great to work with @megha.bsky.social on this piece! Please share! www.scientificamerican.com/article/why-...
Why It’s Important to Talk about Race with Children
Children start learning about race and racism as early as preschool. Talking about race early, however difficult, will help them become more antiracist

Another @404media.co article on #DataRescue. This one concerns the challenges around restricted access data (often human subjects data). We at DRP are seriously concerned about these datasets and the loss that will impact research and more for a long time.

Massive, Unarchivable Datasets of Cancer, Covid, and Alzheimer's Research Could Be Lost Forever
Days before Robert F. Kennedy Jr. announced that 10,000 HHS staffers would lose their jobs, a message appeared on NIH research repository sites saying they were "under review."
