Now online at Nature Human Behaviour: "Consumption Responses to an Unconditional Child Allowance in the U.S." We study how the 2021 CTC expansion affected family expenditures using observed (rather than reported) consumption data from 1.3 million establishments. www.nature.com/articles/s41...

For my university laptop, it dying just means I took it to a meeting longer then an hour or so. So, maybe this isn’t universally true.
Having your laptop run out of power is a good sign as it probably means you’ve achieved a high degree of concentration and flow.
Having your phone run out of power, though, is a bad sign, as it probably just means you’re not really in control of your life.

The strangest case of my primary care career began with an electronic patient request. I get these a lot. 99% are med refills, forms, or questions about symptoms. This was different. My patient felt fine. But, he was worried he’d be sent to jail… 1/13

Very happy to see our new paper published in Demography, in which we show that welfare reform had plausibly causal and substantively important negative effects on the quality of emotional support in the home environments of young children.

This makes me feel better about the 5-10 meetings I wildly mischedule or miss a year because time zones remain hard for me.
Not nearly as bad as when I showed up a day early to give a seminar a thousand miles from home
Thought I was arriving 20 minutes for my morning appointment💅
Turns out I was 24 hours and 20 minutes early🫤

Excited for this one, y’all. Stay tuned!
The book, which I hope will be out sometime in 2025, has taken a lot of my time and attention over the past couple of years. I am very happy UNC Press and @lucaschurch.bsky.social believe in it, and will be helping me put it out into the world.

Really thrilled to be able to announce that my book project, The Case for Rural America, is under contract with @uncpress.bsky.social and the Rural Studies Series!
In it, I make the case for sustaining rural America, while critiquing the status quo of rural development.

There's a new Atlantic article about accidental pregnancies at age 40 & older that noted that 75% of such pregnancies are unintended, & that's just not right. It's 32%.
But I 100% agree we need more attention to repro needs during perimenopause. www.cdc.gov/nchs/data/se...

Since I keep seeing this when I see other people’s peer reviews… stop giving line edits as peer reviews!
That’s not the task!
If you see a typo, tell them to do a proofread.
I promise you, line edits are NOT the norm.

I have been informed the NIEHS payline has been moved down to the 7th percentile this year due to federal budget concerns.

Currently have a paper where if we followed this common rule, we would be seriously understating impacts AND inequality. It’s not a good rule.
I disagree with the “rule of thumb” to only test for interactions if there is a main effect. This convention centers the majority, which is the opposite of what Ford and Airhihienbuwa argue re: centering the margins: ajph.aphapublications.org/doi/full/10....

I’ve had multiple papers rejected because it was “something we already know”. However, in all of those cases that “thing we know” is completely absent from any written record.
Documenting the “obvious” in the written record is essential for advancing science.

Read this book and plan to use in my environmental health class this Spring. A great look at the successes and struggles of local organizing against environmental injustice.
So many books leave students with the feeling that they can’t do anything, I’m hoping this helps increase their optimism.
