We're now up to Reviewer #15
Reviewer #13 agreed? Either this is going to be one really complicated R&R or the journal is having a hard time finding reviewers.

My final thought of the night. Just caught this comment by Scotland midfielder John McGinn and it may be one of the most Scottish things ever 😂

Important paper. So far most of the potential solutions I've seen mentioned (in-person surveys, high-quality/validated panels, address-based sampling) cost lots of money and will thus deepen divides based on resources. Something that we'll also need to grapple with.

*slow whistle*

Opt-in panels without verification (e.g. voter file matching) are a dead method walking.
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

my perspective on this (which is not particularly novel) is that we will need to move exclusively to: a) mail-based samples (or samples that can verify something concrete like voter file); b) in person samples (back to undergraduates); c) elite samples (oof)

of course, lots of unknowns here

But according to Chris Christie in the Times, the regulation of sports gambling is going great!
The Athletic polled hundreds of players from across the NBA, NFL, MLB and NHL about their opinions surrounding how sports betting impacts players — the responses were haunting.

New today at Science Advances from @kshoub.bsky.social and me. We revisit the question of whether a local tragedy (mass shooting) influences voter behavior. They do, at least at the local level, with some important caveats and implications for policy. Short thread...

Preliminary data from @umich.edu survey on student AI use for class.

Most rarely/sometimes use AI & always follow class policies, but think others frequently use AI & only sometimes follow policies.

Perceptions of misuse ≠ reality

Misperceptions may provide implicit permission for misuse.

Yesterday's (last) walk in Acadia National Park showed popping colors under cloudy skies, a reflection of autumn in a clear body of water.

I enjoyed a cloudy last morning in Acadia National Park before it was time to drive home. I walked along Park Loop Road, listening to the ocean, looking at the rocks, absorbing the beauty.

Sometimes a short trip is perfect; this one made me happy.
