Maybe we aren't so divided on gun policy after all?

Check out this vital paper from Justin Sola and Justin T. Pickett showing almost nobody wants to live near people who own AR-15's or store their guns unsafely.

We CAN work together towards greater safety for all.

The winning continues for UCI Social Ecology faculty and students. Justin Sola takes the grad student prize from Western Society of Criminology. There was an earthquake as he received the award, making his work truly groundbreaking! Justin heads to UNC Sociology this fall as a prof.

I'm delighted to share that this fall, I join UNC-Chapel Hill as an assistant professor in Sociology and the School of Data Science and Society.

Immense gratitude for the mentorship and support that guided me here! Thank you! 🥰

Among the amazing group of awardees, I am particularly delighted to see the recognition of Justin Sola's study and my friend Shichun Ling (not X-active)'s name. One more piece of evidence that I am surrounded by great field colleagues.

“Studies with null results are perceived to be less publishable, of lower quality, less important, and less precisely estimated than studies with large and statistically significant results, *even when* holding constant all other study features.”
