New Jersey’s “county line” ballot design distorts voter choice by giving party-preferred candidates privileged positions on the ballot. @ProfNickStephan and I have an Op-Ed today @NJSpotlightNews arguing that voters should support eliminating the system: njspotlightnews.org/2024/03/op-ed-…

Like the #NationalChampionship, I am also headed to the University of Michigan! Incredibly excited to start as an Assistant Professor of Political Science at @UMich.
I’m so grateful to my friends, colleagues, and advisors who made this and all of our work possible. 〽️

@KevinTMorris Have gone down a similar rabbit hole before for a project on teachers: haven’t seen many ages (though some state lawsuits on whether you can FOIA them). But some have name, location, and retirement date. I’ve collected some before, feel free to DM / email, love to talk more.

@tylersimko and I are excited to announce a new version of 🏠LocalView🏙️ updated with meetings until September 2023. Additionally, we've built a dashboard on our site so you can now search for / visualize keyword trends in public meetings.
Check it out!

@KevinTMorris I’ve started defining a few common objects I put in every local project .Rprofile, which makes them available as global variables. Election dates, FIPS codes, etc. Super convenient!!

@ArunFrey @APSAtweets @SoubhikBarari Thank you!! Yes, absolutely remember (and still thankful for) your very kind comments on our poster. Hope it will be useful for your work.
English
@cbarrie @ArunFrey @APSAtweets @SoubhikBarari Amazing, please share when you do! Would love to see. We’d have officially come full circle on LocalView — version 0.01 started several years ago as a course project!
English
@FeliciaArriaga oh my gosh this sounds awesome, please share how it goes if you don’t mind! I’d love to hear your experience using it in class.
English
This will be a game changer for all my students when they have to complete their local meeting assessments. ❤️❤️❤️❤️

@matt_blackwell @shirokuriwaki You could also edit and host on a Colab notebook — they scale really well for small / mid-sized analysis because students make a copy of an R-enabled jupyter notebook to their own gmail account. I’m using it now for ~100 person course with no issues. Happy to share examples.
English
@shirokuriwaki @rstudio Does using your own shiny link scale well? I just have no idea what level of resources I would need for a 100 person class with weekly tutorials (I assume you’re talking about your shinyapps.io account?)
English
Most the content is still fine, but are issues like gather() and spread() being taught instead of the pivot_*() functions.

@sjccorn @beckyj1 @HarvardUP @RGGonzales1 @InequalityHKS @kenalyass @LeahEGose yes shared with my students! Looks like a really great opportunity. Would love to meet / talk at some point @sjccorn !!

@beckyj1 @HarvardUP @RGGonzales1 @InequalityHKS @kenalyass @LeahEGose @tylersimko Thanks Rebecca! Really appreciate it! And always love to chat housing policy 🤓

are you or do you know a Harvard student interested in #qualitative research and #housing? I’m hiring a part-time (17.5 hrs/week) summer RA to help me study Boston’s exploding housing market! jchs.harvard.edu/student-resear…

@matt_blackwell Ahh very cool - thanks! For really tricky ones, testthat::compare() will do something similar and show where mismatches happened. Can be useful for hint error messages.
English
@tylersimko Yeah, I actually switched to a isTRUE(all.equal()) setup for a lot of checks because it handles cases like this along with floating point rounding and names() differences if you use check.attributes=FALSE. Slowly iterating to the right answer, just like my students!
English
@Isaac_es_Felix Please do! I’d be happy to hear from you anytime.
English
@Isaac_es_Felix I just finished my first year, and I’d be happy to help in any way (talk more, look over application materials, answer questions, etc). Feel free to reach out and good luck!!
English
@Isaac_es_Felix I’ll echo what others have said about not putting all your eggs in one basket. Look out for fee waivers (deadlines were often earlier than I thought) and apply to at least a few schools (some visits might pleasantly surprise you!).
