1/2 A reminder to anyone who was RIFed.

💯 you do NOT deserve this.

Quick tips if you do get a RIF notice:
❌ Do not send a read receipt
❌ Do not respond right away - the union will probably provide language for response
✅ Forward notice to your personal email

I can’t love this enough.

Also to succeed and survive, even if one is not a narcissist, one has to comply with other narcissists (e.g., ignoring or not naming harm to appease or not upset said narcissists)

Nothing has disappointed me more than watching institutions cave to ending programs they KNOW have an impact and bring in talented and qualified scientists from different backgrounds. Someday we will have to face what was done here and what we lost.

@bostonu.bsky.social administrators side with bigots. Targeted pride flags for removal, selectively. Alum MLK Jr. would be ashamed.

Both Sinclair and Nexstar caved. There’s a lesson here for would-be leaders, including university presidents.

two ways you can help protect public health next:

- talking about the hearing and what the CDC officials said during it with the folks in your life who are not on here

- call your reps and senators. demand they continue using all their tools to investigate RFK Jr. cap switchboard: (202) 224-3121

CDC temporarily revokes remote work approvals for employees with disabilities The CDC revoked permission for employees with disabilities to work from home, at least temporarily.

“You’re being told that your disability doesn’t matter.” 😢😡

ICYMI: CDC just paused all long-term telework approvals for employees with disabilities -- including (especially?) those with PTSD from the 8/8 Roybal shooting that killed Officer David Rose.

It’s an epidemic

Don’t forget subcommittees of the subgroups that write lukewarm statements

Some good news!

Math is hard!

Senator Warnock to RFK Jr.:

You are a hazard to the American people and I think you ought to resign or be fired.

This is correct.

RFK JR: You're making things up to scare people. And it's a lie.

Hassan: With respect, I do not think I'm the one making things up.

Opinion | Robert F. Kennedy Jr., the CDC and Me I was fired after 29 days because I held the line and insisted on rigorous scientific review.

Senator Cantwell (D, Badass from WA) to RFK Jr:

“Sir, you’re a charlatan, that’s what you are”.

This is correct

Who’s asking the questions again?

RFK Jr. disgraces his father’s memory again by crowing about cutting HHS efforts around diversity, equity and inclusion.

RFK wants us to focus on the root causes of disease. We used to do that, we called it the social determinants of health. That was banned as DEI.

Dr. Susan Monarez, recently removed as director of the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, warned in a Wall Street Journal op-ed that the Trump administration is deliberately weakening the country’s public health and vaccine protections. This is a danger that should concern us all.

We don’t have to live like this

Eerily on point

Brown's faculty senate should consider abolishing course evals, if they're just going to be used as fodder for witch hunts against vulnerable faculty.

Check out @lamhine.bsky.social’s poster 749 showing multiracial Americans are the racial group with the SECOND highest prevalence of subjective cognitive decline 🤯 Much more research needed in this understudied population (that Tracy and I happen to be a part of) #AAIC2025

The cost of the BBB to medical education will be devastating.

The elimination of Graduate PLUS loans and a $200k cap for federal loans means that medical students, who more than half have loans greater than $260k, will have to take out private loans with higher interest rates. #Medsky
