I can’t even imagine this.
Free research idea: send the same research protocol to IRBs at schools across the country. Track time to decision, revisions requested, final decision, final protocol allowed in each case.

Bonus research idea: randomly vary gender, race, seniority of the PI who submits it.
Could also randomly vary whether the study is on a "sensitive topic" that could make headlines - something related to race, gender, or neither. (I know scholars who cannot get race-related protocols thru their IRBs anymore.)
This would be a great grad student project — y’all could coordinate over Twitter. :) I hope someone runs with it!

More evidence that incarceration has protective/beneficial effects for mental health (due to better access to treatment) -- contrary to conventional wisdom based on correlational evidence.
See this episode of @ProbCausation for more: probablecausation.com/podcasts/episo…
Note this paper uses data from Norway; the one in the podcast episode uses data from Sweden.

There are reasons we might expect prisons to be more better in Scandinavia. But the counterfactual is probably also better--we don't have universal health care in the US.

This is probably a joke, but since the academic job market begins again soon: What is something that you (or someone you know) successfully negotiated for in academia that might not be obvious to others that they could ask for?

(Obvious: salary, summer months, research $.)
I'll start: course reductions in first few years, specified courses I would teach. Everything in writing!
Related, I know others who've negotiated max number of new course preps over X years.

Reducing use of cash bail & pretrial detention should be an easy place for bipartisan consensus. Smaller govt + less infringement on civil liberties + research-supported! I'll gladly talk w anyone who's curious about the evidence & tradeoffs. #txlege

For those requesting a reading list, here are a bunch of papers that cover the consequences of pretrial detention and cash bail, for those on the margin (that is, for those likely to be affected by policy changes):
"Distortion of Justice: How the Inability to Pay Bail Affects Case Outcomes" by @MeganTStevenson

PSA from a non-econ friend who recently served on an interdisciplinary search cmte: Econs need to step up our game in mentoring our students to write useful diversity statements. 1/n
Their hiring cmte used diversity statements for an initial screen of applicants. Very few econ candidates made it thru. She was completely bewildered by how bad their statements were. 2/n
After hearing how her field (psych) approaches such statements, I see at least 3 issues in econ: (1) We generally advise students not to 'waste' much time on these other statements. All that matters is the JMP and the letters, amirite? 3/n
