🚨My nerds: new preprint + data available to you starting now. Plz enjoy what I believe to be (other than tax stuff) the first large scale empirical dataset about the Federalist Society. Have fun! 😘 #LawSky #PoliSky #AcademicSky osf.io/preprints/so...
Again reminding you that this is the university that rescinded a res life job offer to me when I was a grad student after they found out I was gay and partnered.
BTW, a few spicy stories like that one appear in my forthcoming book. Preorder now so you can see me spill tea in print in a few months.

"Northwestern officials proudly noted that their pact with the WH explicitly declares that the agreement doesn’t allow the gov't to dictate “the content of academic speech and research” .... But the pact itself restricts speech and research at the university. Saying otherwise won’t change that."

The university claims it preserved academic autonomy. It didn’t.

Update.
This is the same university that rescinded a res life job offer to me when I was a grad student after they found out I was gay and partnered.
Northwestern University offered bland reassurance to trans students and faculty after signing a deal with the Trump administration that sacrificed them for restored funding.

Here's another one. 50% of individuals newly elected to Society for Industiral and Applied Mathematics (SIAM) leadership work for the government while merely 4% of employed PhD-holding mathematicians do so.

I am lucky because as an adult, Thanksgiving with my built/chosen family is joyous. But there was a time in my life when the holidays felt lonely and impossible. If you are having a rough go today and need human contact on here, chime in or DM me.

Wow. This made my day x1000.
Finally did more than thinking about pre-ordering @chadtopaz.bsky.social's "Unlocking Justice." Double bonus that my favorite local bookstore, @ravenbookstore.bsky.social, had it in their search. Triple bonus that it will likely be a post-birthday surprise to future-me when I get the pickup call.
