Studying in a swing state where your vote will matter so much more than it will where you are registered? Most students can vote in the state where they are studying. Live in PA, MI, NC, GA, Wisconsin? You have time to REGISTER and VOTE. Talk to your friends and classmates! RT.

For Fall 25 I have a (likely TA funded) slot open for an Ind Eng PhD student in “Human Factors”). I want someone who can think through cognitive processes and social structures (racialized) and computing (but you can have some but not all of that then learn) . Please pass along

Arizona, the model for voucher programs across the country, has spent so much money paying private schoolers' tuition that it's now facing hundreds of millions in budget cuts to critical state programs and projects propublica.org/article/arizo…
