Have you ever wanted to be taken out of context by the right-wing media machine, so you can enjoy a barrage of threats and thoughtful hatemail?
Good news: I've learned enough over the past couple of weeks to provide this useful "how to" guide.

Can 'nudging' parents to read with their children reduce the quality of time spent reading?
A new RCT offers insights into the effects of reminders aimed at increasing parental reading time & child literacy skills.

What strategies increase parental engagement in children’s early education? In one evaluation, @POreopoulos & @ariel_kalil found that tools like goal-setting, reminders, & social rewards more than doubled the time parents spent reading to their children. povertyactionlab.org/evaluat…

Standard Deviation is usually the first thing that freaks out most students when they start learning stats.
If you teach stats, I hope this video helps them understand (and chuckle a little) why it's important to go beyond the "average"!

FINDING: In new research, parents who received financial incentives and text message reminders were 28% more likely to attend a preschool event; the same parents were also more likely to attend unincentivized events.
From @HarrisPolicy's @ariel_kalil, Susan Mayer, @RohenShah:

FINDING: When parents struggle financially or experience loneliness, attention to other responsibilities drops significantly, often resulting in poor decision-making that exacerbates the problem.

1/ This is a very important thread by @econhist_allday. The ASSA meetings should not be held in any state where a woman's health is endangered by anti-abortion legislation. As she notes, meetings should be withdrawn from Texas now and may need to be withdrawn from Louisiana.

The end of Roe isn't about babies. (See my many other threads on things that are good for babies!).
The end of Roe isn't even about abortion.
The end of Roe is about returning to a world in which pregnancy is a vulnerability that women have and men can exploit. [9/x]

BREAKING NEWS: Canada announces that it will “certainly” allow American women to go to Canada to receive abortion care if Roe v. Wade is overturned because EVERY woman in the world “deserves access.” RT TO THANK CANADA!

If the Alito opinion savaging Roe and Casey ends up being the Opinion of the Court, it will unravel many basic rights beyond abortion and will go further than returning the issue to the states: It will enable a GOP Congress to enact a nationwide ban on abortion and contraception.
