A grad school office mate summed me up once by saying, "Stephanie, you are the embodiment of calling a spade a spade." She did not mean it as a compliment.
"Influencers are central to this ambient news model. The creators who have the most impact on shaping public understanding of policy, science, and social or political issues today are often not political commentators or subject-matter experts at all." carnegieendowment.org/resear…...
Any influencers who'll never take a partisan or advocacy stance wanna team up with an expert whose awkward personality, middle-aged suburban mom status and penchant for taking being genuine too far make her a bad candidate for sharing research through short videos? 😬
Immigrants from most regions are more likely to hold a Bachelor's degree or higher than native-born adults in the U.S. Nearly 20% of U.S. workers are immigrants, but their numbers are declining.

2. Removing these immigrants would likely result in House seat losses for Florida, Texas and California. pewresearch.org/short-reads/…
This post immediately brought 3 things to mind:
1. The Census Bureau's mission to count everyone is what enables us to study the size and characteristics of the unauthorized immigrant population.

A quick question -- am wondering if any clergy or faith leaders are seeing gambling becoming a problem among their people?
Help! I'm mentoring a college student who will be applying for summer internships soonish but she's a finance major and I know almost no one in that realm. Looking for any tips on upcoming programs that would be a good match. She can work near DC or remotely.

"The surge in shoplifting is one piece of a larger collapse of the social forces that once restrained wayward behavior at least as much as the law did: trust, guilt, and shame." From @mffisher, the definitive account of America's shoplifting crisis: theatlantic.com/ideas/archiv…
