"Hundreds of institutions nationwide still hold a total of more than 100,000 ancestral remains, according to the news organizations’ analysis of federal data. None has more than UC Berkeley, with 9,000..."

There is literally no reason for this, Berkeley. None.

Is anyone else here being consumed by 'application' duties (grant, jobs, ethics, annual monitoring reports) all cramping together?

Let’s appreciate local journalism.

Too bad he wasn’t fired because he’ll still get health benefits and a pension which are more of the things Republicans always vote against anyway.

Now do so more, starting with Speaker Sexton.

No better business model than to try to get people to pay for something already freely available for no additional benefit other than being embarrassed by a blue check.

Why did some #Schools see more #COVID19 #Infections than others?🧵

Q: Are student infections related to socio-economic characteristics of school populations and/or their location?

A: Both. But area deprivation matters more.

My paper with Nathan Lau, Daniel Ansari, and Nisha Thampi answers these questions. Thanks Amy Greer, Kate Choi, @sdbaral, Peter Taylor for inputs.

Here it is is hot off the presses in the BMJ Open!

The cost of #FoxNews disinformation is far higher than $787,500,000.

While this study confirms yet again that active learning is superior, it also shows that college students may prefer being lectured at (and incorrectly believe it's more effective): https://is.gd/qte8aj.
One solution: discuss these findings (and the reasons for them) with students.

The Republican higher education takeover continues in #NCPol as legislation proposes ending tenure in #NorthCarolina’s storied public university system, widely seen as the reason the state advanced in the late 20th Century while other Southern states lagged.

Also, the idea that fascists were hypercompetent comes from Hollywood, not history.

"Chatbots" on company websites are basically useless and clueless, and that's nothing new.

But don't you worry, soon they will all be integrated with ChatGPT. This will not make them less useless and clueless, but they will gain the ability to authoritatively gaslight you as well!

Progress!

#aera23 I'll be presenting on concepts from my forthcoming book, Critical Network Literacies on Sunday at 9:50am - come on by if you are at the conference!

Seeing #aera2023 #aera23 conversations heat up on the bird site but not here yet.

Looking forward to going and presenting some ongoing work re: how STEM and CTE are being integrated and how that affects students differently based on sociocultural contexts.

"Everyone rushed to blame the homeless, but the real perpetrator turned out to be a tech executive" really is the story of 21st century San Francisco in a nutshell.

@gravesle @ZingerLearns @edutooter If you can find the steam of Cornell West’s talk this evening, absolutely definitely watch it!! Amazing speaker. So much inspiration. Just one: If you are seduced by “profession”, you have forgotten *vocation*. #AERA2023
