I’m happy to share that I’m starting a new position as a Senior Researcher at @statesunited.bsky.social ! I'm looking forward to conducting survey and experimental research to help protect American electoral democracy.

Ever need to make bar graphs of means in Stata? Ever wish you could add confidence intervals? If so, I made a new guide in the #StataGallery on @Medium on how to do it using -cibar- and/or -coefplot-. Lots of examples, tricks & of course all of the code. 😎 medium.com/the-stata-ga...

assigned this piece by @jeffcolgan.bsky.social @greenprofgreen.bsky.social and Thomas Hale in my (undergrad) Comparative Climate Politics class, and it is fantastic. Love the breakdown/discussion of climate forcing vs. vulnerable asset classes, and the discussion on obstructionism.

Uggggghhh. Randle leaving the game with what looks like a BAD shoulder injury after being fouled. Fuck the Miami Heat.

Finally got around to listening to @racheldonald.bsky.social interviewing Hannah Ritchie + her post-IV chat w/ @mikedigirolamo.bsky.social at @mongabay.bsky.social Real testament to good journalism is the surprise in a guest's voice at not having been asked a Q before, and not expecting it either..

On the other end of the spectrum, working in restaurants is equally pro-immigration radicalizing, because you meet a lot of people who risked life and limb to get here "the wrong way" & realize over and over that they're better workers/citizens/people than you will ever be

Nothing has radicalized me on immigration more than graduate advising. We are bringing many of the most brilliant people on the planet here, paying to train them as cutting edge scholars, and then making it pointlessly difficult for them to stay here and use those skills to benefit society.

Toni Morrison giving me the wisdom I need just when I need. There is so much to be angry/appalled/dismayed about. Those emotions are fine, but after I give myself the space I need to feel them...I get to work. Because there is too much good waiting to be done for us to get distracted by the noise.

If you wanted to make the argument that this country is anything but a death cult you’d have a hard time

Good God, The Times promotes Alabama's triumphalism for finding another way to kill a human being. No ifs, ands, or buts in this headline....

This is too bad, and shows that -- as hard as policy change is when it comes to the clean energy transition -- it alone is insufficient. We need cultural *and* policy change. Wow, this is tough stuff. But I tell my students, there's no better time to get into this field!

This absolutely nails it. Sleep is so important, and treating rest as a reward for getting work done is uh, not good. (also, slept a full 8 hours last night, and now seeing all kinds of small errors I made earlier on a manuscript when working with not enough sleep.)

KNICKS WIN!!! GO NEW YORK GO NEW YORK GO!

Beltre was a no-doubter, but absolutely love to see both Mauer and Helton (finally!) in the Hall. although damn, a bummer about Wagner.

Stop asking people to get multiple (4!) recommendation letters for awards. Especially external letters. All you are assessing is someone’s network.

This will be my last semester at Colorado State. In the fall, I will be joining Ohio State’s School of Communication. Absolutely never thought I would have a shot to work at a world class place like Ohio State. To be able to do that, and to be much closer to family, is just a dream come true.

Very pleased to have led the writing for this white paper on Canada's climate regs for its oil and gas sector, one of the largest in the world. Our message: close the loopholes! Cc: @christianelliott.bsky.social @matthoffmann.bsky.social @greenprofgreen.bsky.social @berniera.bsky.social

Disappointing to see the Govt. of Canada backtracking on its own climate goals with its proposed regulatory framework for GHG emissions from oil and gas. CSL's white paper released today makes 4 recommendations to improve it watson.brown.edu/climatesolut... www.canada.ca/en/services/...

I wrote for Newsweek about my experience miscarrying in Texas after Dobbs. Democratic erosion and authoritarianism aren’t abstractions happening elsewhere—my story & that of countless other women are reminders that they happen every day in Texas & in other states. Polisky Gendersky Academicsky

I miscarried in Texas. My doctors put abortion law firstwww.newsweek.com The pain is so blinding that I think I'm hallucinating. After Dobbs, lawyers, not women's lives, are now the overriding concern.
