If you have research dependent on these data here is my suggestion
1/N

Big picture:

Create a dataset of cell means (cells must be big enough to pass disclosure)

- load these cell means into many, many tables & put through review

-These cell means can then be used in OLS - which runs on means
Research with restricted-use data is more precise, powerful, and relevant. Faculty and staff will be working through the weekend to answer important research questions before we no longer can. This is not normal, necessary, or efficient.
AERA has just learned that all restricted-use NCES data licenses will be cancelled, possibly as early as March 20. We urgently request that all AERA members and others in the research community with restricted-use licenses take these two actions: www.aera.net/Research-Pol...

An excellent and timely piece.

« Efficiency is about the payoff for an investment, not just about the price paid. Relative to other federal investments, the IES investment has been small, but its payoff has been mighty. »
In this op-ed, we - the presidents of SREE and AEFP - joined forces to argue for the importance of evidence on "what works" and how cutting such funding is not "efficient" - it is wasteful. www.brookings.edu/articles/cut...
Cutting research funding would make education less effective and efficient

This is the current CDC webpage for the most recent YRBS. www.cdc.gov/yrbs/results...

A word of advice: Pay attention to the trends reported in the blue box. This is more important than ever... partly because of what is written in the yellow box!

Let's keep track of where progress is made! (and lost!)

#womeninscienceday

Women and men earn degrees in some STEM fields at about the same rate now.

But in physics, engineering, & CS, the representation gap is closing at elite schools and widening elsewhere.

This TICS paper turned out to be unexpectedly timely... We could have called it "Why DEI and Merit Go Hand in Hand" given recent developments... Valuing diversity and excellence/merit aren't opposing forces -- they're complementary.

New paper! @katiemcauliffe.bsky.social + @andreicimpian.bsky.social

Men tend to ask for higher salaries and more promotions for themselves than do women. We examined kids' beliefs about negotiation and how they may contribute to developing gender differences in negotiation

Dr. Adam Stanaland has a nice piece in @theconversation.com about masculinity in the workplace, discussing a controversial topic with tons of research. It's definitely worth a read--and a share! theconversation.com/mark-zuckerb...
Mark Zuckerberg thinks workplaces need to ‘man up’ − here’s why that’s bad for all employees, no matter their gender
Do companies need to embrace a more diesel-fueled, meat-eating mentality? Many already do – and the results aren’t pretty, according to business research.

New study with @drmcquillan.bsky.social
- suicidal ideation in HS girls rose, from 23% in 2015 to 29% in 2021
- Girls' LGBQ identification rose 15% -> 34%
To address suicidality, reduce stressors on LGBQ youth, now over 1/3 of HS girls

"Children, unlike adults, were more lenient toward discriminatory acts." Wow! Younger kids in the study were more ok with doing something mean (e.g., knocking over toys) if the reason given was not liking members of a specific group rather than just not liking the victim. 🤯
