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? 😬

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.

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. pewresearch.org/short-reads/…

The U.S. immigrant population grew at a record-breaking pace throughout the past few years but has shrunk since January, marking its first decline since the 1960s. pewresearch.org/short-reads/…

What the data says about immigrants in the U.S.

As of June 2025, the country’s foreign-born population had shrunk by more than a million people, marking its first decline since the 1960s.

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.

2. Removing these immigrants would likely result in House seat losses for Florida, Texas and California. pewresearch.org/short-reads/…

How removing unauthorized immigrants from census statistics could affect House reapportionment

If unauthorized U.S. immigrants aren't counted, 3 states could each lose a seat they otherwise would have had and 3 others each could gain one.

3. The Bureau began work on Census 2030 in 2019. Counting hundreds of millions of people across a vast continent is a big lift. It doesn't seem feasible to accomplish this with the additional task of excluding certain immigrants by 2030.

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.

In many countries, including the U.S., Canada and much of Europe, migrants are more likely than the native-born population to have a religion, slowing secularization in these destinations.
