AI presents a fundamental threat to our ability to use polls to assess public opinion. Bad actors who are able to infiltrate panels can flip close election polls for less than the cost of a Starbucks coffee. Models will also infer and confirm hypotheses in experiments. Current quality checks fail. Dark times for survey work.

The academe has for a long time had a severely neglected social class problem. "Children from low-SES homes were already severely underrepresented [in the academe]." "Scientists from high-SES families have 38% higher odds of becoming stars." nber.org/papers/w33063

Gino's case against us has been dismissed. Scientists cannot effectively sue other scientists for exposing fraud/errors in their work. Those who work to correct the scientific record can sleep better tonight. Those who don’t want it corrected, well, I don’t care how they sleep.

Debt commission bill that would create bipartisan panel to propose ways to lower deficit is hated by the right that sees it as Trojan horse to raise taxes & by the left that sees it as Trojan horse to cut entitlements. And hence we have a 1.5 trillion deficit during good economy.

You don't demonstrate your seriousness that Trump is an existential threat to democracy by going through the motions to renominate an 81-year-old with a 38% approval rating who 75% of voters think is too old without giving anyone a choice because that's just how things are done.

Lucky to have my research covered by @PsyPost who did a great job outlining the key points!
New research suggests that political identity influences choices in romantic partners and living locations, potentially exacerbating political polarization. This phenomenon, explored through the lens of niche construction theory, indicates that people… dlvr.it/T0pBNw

🚨My 1st publication!🚨 I theorize & test an important but underexplored link between affective partisanship & partisan geographic sorting. I show how out-party negative affect influences partisans' perceptions of finding romantic partners & willingness to move.

It seems like Qualtrics could play an important role in limiting researcher fraud. As a researcher, I would love to be able to post a data file that is somehow certified by Qualtrics as the original file (maybe it is posted by Qualtrics).

Do people ever really change? A massive new meta-analysis says no—at least when it comes to the differences between us. Despite some fluctuations in adolescence and early adulthood, personality differences among adults are remarkably stable over time. psycnet.apa.org/record/2022-…

Very pleased to announce that my article on minority representation is now available @apsrjournal's #FirstView! I develop a parsimonious mathematical model to explain and predict when minority candidates run and win in each district. #polisciresearch 1/6 ow.ly/I8yz50Fj8zd

That's the whole point of good ol cappy though. Rather than buying x packs of dogs + x packs of buns, it's x+1 packs of dogs + x packs of buns 🤑
Capitalism is great. But hot dogs still come in packs of 8 while hot dog buns come in packs of 12. No system is perfect.

Followed by economic disaster and the fascist 30's... no thank you, I'll pass on this historical rhyme.
Its has become very clear to me why the 1918 pandemic was followed by the roaring 20s & why people were dressing up to go just about anywhere
