I am so excited to see that @sreesociety has introduced a new section devoted to special ed, chaired by @JasonChow. It's an excellent opportunity to put special ed researchers in conversation with methodologists, policy researchers, and folks from other fields. See you there!

Do you build partners and partnerships in education research? If so, I have a great (free!) resource for you - a new book on brokering in education RPPs. Coolest feature: vignettes & tools that show what brokers do and how they do it, written by brokers.

The @Wellesley Effect! As a data point in this paper, I can confirm I almost certainly wouldn't have studied econ if I hadn't gone to a women's college - and I'm so glad I did :)
Nice paper identifying the positive impact of attending a women’s college on receiving an economics degree by colleagues in the @WellesleyEcon @Wellesley #EconTwitter #gendergaps #WomeninSTEM nber.org/papers/w31144
