🚨 Now out at JEPG! 🚨 After college students graduate & head off to the workforce, there are many opportunities to collaborate at work. Do these opportunities reduce cultural mismatch for college grads from working-class backgrounds? (1/3)

@ProfJessTracy Really nice work here, Jess. Lots to think about

What I've been thinking about for the past decade or so...

@chrispryor52 Chris! I was just thinking about you this morning - and found you, on this platform of all places. I'd love to connect elsewhere, even email? Hope you're well.

@gouldjonb @Social_Ecology funny you should write this as I write about people being awe-deprived

If Orange County were a city, it would be the 3rd largest in the country. And yet at 7:30pm, we were the only people on the beach at Crystal Cove State Park.

@sarahpressman yes

I have a meeting in 7 minutes called "welcome" with no invitees, no location, and no other information. Should I just walk around campus welcoming people?

@cgrodriguezr @mwkraus Indeed! We’ll spotted @cgrodriguezr!

@mwkraus Are these the awe-inspiring trees used in @pkpiff studies?

Who is more sympathetic & supportive towards the poor--those born into wealth or those who moved up the ladder themselves? People tend to think it's those who Became Rich. Our new paper, led by twitter-free PhD student Hyunjin Koo, suggests otherwise. journals.sagepub.com/doi/full/10.11… 🧵
