New paper: What drives hiring discrimination against trans women—transgender identity, non-passing appearance, or their interaction?

Using passing and non-passing “twins,” I separate these channels experimentally and show that their interaction matters.

Should journals build code checks into publication requirements? It seems inexpensive and apt…

Generative AI makes replication research even more important.

Academia should take this opportunity to boost the incentives for replication.

It’d be a huge missed opportunity if we don't.

I don’t follow the argument that AI solutions are unhelpful because they could erode future discovery. Can’t mathematicians learn from and build on them—just as they have with proofs discovered by other humans?

I can see how the journey could inspire the individual solver(s), but doesn't the solution have the ability to inspire many more? I also don't think we are at risk of running out of difficult problems to solve.

Striking how much of a fall in esteem is happening to pure mathematics because of this ill-conceived letter.

Both the average scientist and the layperson can see: if your famous problems aren't ones that you really want to the answers to, something's wrong.

Huge increase in AfD support since the 2021 Saxony-Anhalt election (+23pp), and another large increase even since the 2025 federal election (+6.7pp). It’s hard not to worry about what this political shift means for LGBTQ+ people in Saxony-Anhalt and Germany more broadly.

Final overnight result from Saxony-Anhalt:
AfD: 43.8% (+23.0)
CDU: 17.2% (-19.9)
SPD: 9.3% (+0.9)
GRÜNE (Greens): 8.9% (+3.0)
LINKE (LEFT): 8.6% (-2.4)
BSW: 5.3% (new).
None of the other 8 parties contesting reached the 5% threshold so they get no seats in the Magdeburg parliament.
You need 42 seats for a majority. AfD three short. So is a CDU-SPD-Green-Left coalition (if such a thing possible). So BSW emerge as kingmakers.

RCTs show CAL can improve learning. But what about in the “real world” w/ limited support & low take-up? Using 3Y admin data from Khan Academy (200K+ students), we show that even marginal CAL use improves learning—and more CAL improves learning more.
