Windsor Law is currently hiring professors. All applicants must submit DEI statements. The school is looking for people to teach core subjects, which would normally be good, but it's also declaring explicit racial and disciplinary biases. They want progressive profs.

Ugh, I've seen this happen too. You raise a deep problem in a paper that isn't obvious to someone who isn't working directly in that area / with that data. The authors submit the paper to the next top 5 journal with no changes and it sails through. Very bad.
I should be happier about this paper finally appearing, but sometimes the failures outweigh the successes. link.springer.com/article/10.100…
God bless Holger Spamann for being the guy who downloads the data from a paper, reanalyzes it, and bothers to write and publish a correction note when the paper turns out to be full of errors and non-robust.

Impact-focused funders often ask: if it worked here, will it work there? This paper is a small, but impt step toward a generalized approach (grounded in theory + human data) to generalize research across settings—core to putting social science to use at scale.💪

new from me for @WorksInProgMag: how France achieved the world’s fastest nuclear buildout I tell the story of how France defied the global backlash against nuclear power by aligning local incentives, embracing standardisation and abandoning a failed domestic design. 🧵
In data analysis, 99% of the knowledge is generated in the journey — cleaning, testing, validating, exploring. If you outsource this to an LLM (Hi Claude, please clean this dataset and generate me a graph), you will learn little and very often get the wrong answer. 1/
NEW at WORKS IN PROGRESS ☢️⚡️🔋 France built forty nuclear reactors in ten years across the 1970s and 1980s, for a fraction of today's prices. For the first time in English, we tell the story of how they did it — and what the rest of the world needs to learn to do the same.

I realize the world is burning, but here is the abstract of a talk I will give multiple times in different formats this month. With the feedback, I hope to write up something substantial on the theme in the remainder of the year.
