Thank you to the FL Senate's Education Committee for the opportunity to testify on chronic absenteeism. It was great to see this important topic being taken up, be able to share research happening at @UF_COE, and share the floor with innovative district leaders.

GenAI is extremely prone to hallucinate. If people use LLMs to ask questions they don’t know the answer to, how would they be able to spot a mistake? And now think what can happen if we implement these systems in areas where truth and detail matter e.g. investment decisions, stock market or medicine

Reviews that don’t appropriately evaluate based on the method have been killing me lately. If I had a dollar for every review of a qual paper that criticized a lack of generalizability…
Really unfortunate that a student led project got rejected for AERA b/c one of the reviewers didn’t understand what a design case is. Their feedback was that the lack of empirical data made it a poor proposal - when that’s not a design case feature or requirement.

Listen, I know people are super busy. But I really encourage y'all to consider volunteering to review for the conferences you attend. My sense is that the quality of reviews has decreased over the years, largely due to experienced reviewers opting out of the review process. We need all y'all.

i’ve never understood why we are expected to file our own taxes each year instead of just receiving a bill (like we do with property tax) or a refund.
👀 Scoop: IRS Direct File, the free government-backed program that let you file your taxes for free, is dead.
IRS wrote to state tax agencies saying it would not be operational this coming tax season, per records I've obtained.
IRS Direct File: 2023-2025.

The tax agency has quietly built its own prototype system for filing tax returns digitally and free of charge, according to current and former officials.

WOW!!!!
MTV's "Ridiculousness" had been canceled after a 14-year run, the company confirmed Friday. The network will continue to air previously produced episodes into 2026 and its reruns, at least for now, will still consume much of channel’s schedule.
‘Ridiculousness’ Is Ending, and With It an Era for MTV
The cable channel has run endless reruns of the comedy clip show for several years, a move that other cable companies copied.
