I'm tempted to caption this first picture "centering the patriarchy" since you all deliberately put me front and center for comedic effect. As the second photo indicates, I'm not the *only* "boy" who studies victimhood :) Thanks for a great workshop @j_golubovic & @YessinkaH!!!

Check out our new, vaguely hopeful, article on partisanship and vaccines - we found, to our surprise, that the same messages promoting vaccines can appeal to both liberals and conservatives!

In a newly released Perspectives on Politics article, Matt Lacombe, Jon Green, Jamie Druckman, and I find that people who bought guns during the pandemic tended to be more politically extreme than prior gun owners and were motivated more by fear than by hobbies. Details below:

Students at elite schools get this info from their advisors. As a foreigner at a state school, and a first gen college student, I never received this guidance.
Think of these advice posts as trying to level the playing field. Please spread them around or add your advice here.
