We examine the universe of hypotheses tested on Amazon Mechanical Turk ... We find evidence of widespread p-hacking, publication bias, and under-powered studies."24 Oct 2026 02:13 +0000at://did:plc:blodggqfeercpc7imo66cpxb/app.bsky.feed.post/3mylmm2ebgs27https://bsky.app/profile/mememedianmode.bsky.social/post/3mxxojvu4ps2zNew NBER paper on contact and the importance of its structure: www.nber.org/papers/w3588416 Oct 2026 03:54 +0000at://did:plc:blodggqfeercpc7imo66cpxb/app.bsky.feed.post/3mxxojvu4ps2zhttps://bsky.app/profile/mememedianmode.bsky.social/post/3mxutro6dys24Very proud to say that Sarah had another piece accepted at a top literary fiction journal.

I’m especially concerned about impacts on PhD timelines and optional summer internships. Would value hearing how others are responding.07 Oct 2026 00:53 +0000at://did:plc:blodggqfeercpc7imo66cpxb/app.bsky.feed.post/3mxaq7fva7s2yhttps://bsky.app/profile/mememedianmode.bsky.social/post/3mwsz6yo7tc2dPUBLICATION ALERT! But not my own. :) Proud of my partner, who has put together an awesome collection of short stories + a novel. Her very first publication landed at the Colorado Review, a top tier literary fiction journal. No idea how she does it- this isn't even her full time job!01 Oct 2026 13:56 +0000at://did:plc:blodggqfeercpc7imo66cpxb/app.bsky.feed.post/3mwsz6yo7tc2dhttps://bsky.app/profile/mememedianmode.bsky.social/post/3mw27agxy3s2qThis is about publishing in economics journals but I found it fascinating and probably applicable in other fields/areas- about why/how two papers asking the same question with the same answer might have very different landing spots in terms of a journal https://jasonmfletcher.substack.com/p/how-to-write-a-top-5-paper-a-case21 Sep 2026 17:08 +0000at://did:plc:blodggqfeercpc7imo66cpxb/app.bsky.feed.post/3mw27agxy3s2qhttps://bsky.app/profile/mememedianmode.bsky.social/post/3mvzrf7l2gk2qOne of the biggest joys of being a professor that I could not have foreseen those last few years of mucking through my PhD is doctoral advising. It has been an extraordinary privilege to support my advisees on their incredible research. I can't wait for y'all to hear more about their work.21 Sep 2026 13:00 +0000at://did:plc:blodggqfeercpc7imo66cpxb/app.bsky.feed.post/3mvzrf7l2gk2qhttps://bsky.app/profile/mememedianmode.bsky.social/post/3mvsntx5gv22tOur department is hiring an assistant/associate professor of higher education policy!!
