We caught the train at Kendall an hour before you took this picture, but when you took this we were STILL STUCK AT HARVARD. Hope you took any other mode!
Call for Proposals: Data Collection for Replication+Novel Political Science Survey Experiments Alexander Coppock and Mary McGrath January 27, 2026 We invite proposals for a survey experiment replication+novel design competition. Se- lected replication+novel design survey experiments will be conducted on large samples of American respondents, quota sampled to match U.S. Census margins and filtered for quality and attention by the survey sample provider Rep Data (repdata.com). Each proposal consists of two parts: (1) a replication study of an existing, previously published survey experiment, and (2) a novel experimental design on a topic of the authors’ choosing. The replication studies and reanalyses of the existing studies will be combined into a meta-paper to be co-authored by all authors of accepted proposals along with the princi- pal investigators (Coppock and McGrath). As a condition for acceptance, authors commit to sharing the data and producing a write-up of the findings from their novel design for submission to a scholarly journal, and public posting of a working paper pre-publication.
🎺 Call for proposals 🎺
1️⃣ replicate an existing experiment
2️⃣ run a novel experiment

3️⃣ coauthor with Mary McGrath and me to meta-analyze the replications and existing studies

New editorial from me and @keithschnak.bsky.social.

This afternoon I was proud to represent our MIT @aaup.org chapter at a student-organized press conference about the proposed "compact"
Here's what I said about @MIT's decision to decline the compact, and why others should join us:

Finally, check out AAUP-Penn’s statement that clearly frames the compact as a “threat, not an invitation.”
No to partisan interference in higher education!

I think it's a mistake to think of the firing of Lisa Cook primarily in terms of Central Bank Independence, and its impact on the inflation rate.
The most significant issue is also more basic: it's the rule of law.
Reminder: It does not matter if Lisa Cook filled out a form wrong or if the raid finds some document in a file folder in John Bolton's house. These actions are wrong no matter what because they selectively target opponents of the government. The rule of law is under attack.
