I am completely shocked by this tragic news. I really can't believe it. Raúl Pacheco-Vega was an outstanding scholar who did so much to promote good scholarship. Utterly devastating news.
Remember that recent paper claiming to show that "ideological bias" determined the results obtained by immigration policy research teams?
A careful, open-code reanalysis by @kauspurg.bsky.social & Josef Brüderl finds that the result arises from a coding error. —> doi.org/10.31222/osf...
“.. The U.S. is now spending more on data center construction than on public transportation infrastructure, according to new Census Bureau figures out today.”

Is there anything cuter than a baby chipmunk?
Such an important point, and one that I have yet to hear addressed by administrators who are pushing faculty to explore "radical innovation" with AI in their research and pedagogy.
("Radical" here means "radical but within the bounds of acceptability for an inherently conservative institution.")
Looking at change rates in wages versus consumer prices 3-month annualized, in the most recent data...
Wages (red) up at a 2.8% rate and prices up at 7.3% rate (blue). So real hourly wages falling at abt 4.5% annualized rate.
If continues, average hour'll buy 4.5% less than a year before
Buen camino, profe Raúl Pacheco Vega. Fuiste y serás siempre el investigador más chido.

A President ordering the Justice Department to criminally investigate a woman who won a sexual assault lawsuit against him makes Watergate look like an unpaid parking ticket.
