How to write #abduction, really? A P.E.B.I. approach by Brent Goldfarb & co-authors:
1. Introduce the PUZZLE
2. Review alternative EXPLANATIONS.
3. Describe the phenomenon the BEST you can.
4. INTERPRET observations, the why, what and generalize.

Thank you to my friend, @Jamie_Raskin, for your endorsement in this Senate race! You are a great friend, an incredible leader, and a true champion in the House.
It has been so great working alongside you (especially since our offices are right across the hall from each other!), and I am grateful to have your early support in this race.

Today, I’m announcing my run to be Michigan’s next U.S. Senator.
We need a new generation of leaders that thinks differently, works harder, and never forgets that we are *public servants*

As an aside, Bob Charette has been publishing a 12 pt series on systemic limits around electric vehicles at IEEE Spectrum that does a good job getting at how shitty we are at thinking about systems when thinking about technology and climate policy.

I agree with caveats. It's interesting to read @brentdg2's and @darchivist's _Bubbles and Crashes: The Boom and Bust of Technological Innovation_ in this light to think about where asset bubbles did and did not appear around new technologies. It's not everywhere but is common.

This article argues that the tech boom of the past 15 years was fueled by easy money. I'd go further. I'd argue that it's no coincidence that every major tech boom since the first industrial revolution coincided with asset bubbles and the...

I am teaching my first graduate seminar on the history of electrification next week 😬. (Here are some of the readings...)
Do people have any tips about what they wish they'd known before teaching their first seminar?

Great to see this piece, which includes historian of science @NaomiOreskes.
NEW: In @ScienceMagazine today, our latest peer-reviewed research shows Exxon scientists predicted global warming with shocking skill & accuracy between 1977 & 2003, contradicting the company's decades of climate denial. THREAD.

I’m thinking about how I would teach a class on the technology bubble that is currently popping. Not sure when to periodize. Let’s say 2011-2021, for now. Interested in what you all would assign, but here’s a thread with some initial thoughts.

We explain why #firms take positions on polarizing issues, often unrelated to their business (abortion & telecom; guns & fast-food).
one result: higher #profits & more #polarization.

I just received a call from Tom Barrett conceding the election. I’m so grateful to the people of mid-Michigan for their support. Tonight, voters here made clear that the politics of division are not what they want for our families or our state. 1/

I'd argue that Google Scholar plays a critical role in modern research. It is free, and it absolutely crushes every other scholarly search engine, including specialized ones 👇
Though it is a bit scary that it seems to be a tiny team & it exists only by the charity of Google...

Great thread on how the Clinton White House became neoliberal (and what sounds like a fabulous book).
Tuning into @NelsonLichtens1 giving the inaugural Judith Stein lecture at CUNY on the book he has co-authored with the late Stein, a history of the Clinton White House titled _A Fabulous Failure_.
