Being featured (at about 39:50) on a podcast with the tagline "where sanity takes a backseat and laughter rides shotgun" and the episode title "Radioactive Shrimp" wasn't on my professorial bingo card, but it was a pleasure!

US women narrowed the pay gap with men by having fewer kids
Two sociologists found that when the pace at which family sizes was shrinking slowed down, starting in the 1990s, progress toward closing the gender pay gap grew sluggish too.

Big fan of @chinyereagbai.bsky.social's work and this paper - great to see it in print!
The WWII GI Bill made millions of veterans homeowners, but it also increased Black-White gaps in homeownership and wealth. Results demonstrate how historic policies not only exacerbated past inequalities but also how these inequalities have persisted and intensified into the present.

The consulting services of UM's CSCAR have helped legions of graduate students and faculty. Ending these services puts Michigan out of step with its peer research institutions and especially disadvantages Michigan scholars with the fewest resources.
Really bummed to hear that @umich.edu CSCAR is being shut down. Such an amazing resource for students, staff, and faculty. #statsky #episky

20 years ago, I was on a jury in a domestic violence case. Like the Diddy trial, the facts were not much in dispute, only their interpretation. The way the other jurors talked about the survivor's complicity is seared into my mind forever. Today makes me think not enough has changed.

How wealthy are you? Join our own #umich #sociologist @robertmanduca.bsky.social as he explores an aspect of personal wealth many of us overlook: the benefits Americans will get from Social Security and other similar government benefit programs (via @us.theconversation.com). myumi.ch/4mxgq
You’re probably richer than you think because of the safety net – but you’d have more of that hidden wealth if you lived in Norway
The typical worker on the verge of retirement is due roughly $412,000 in this under-the-radar wealth.
