Congrats, Mr. Riddick!

This expands a similar purge recently at the Naval Academy library, in Maryland. Last month, civilian Navy officials, following orders originating from Mr. Hegseth, pulled from shelves books including one that critiqued “The Bell Curve,” a 1994 text that argues that Black men and women are genetically less intelligent than white people. But the academy kept “The Bell Curve” itself on its shelves.

You’re allowed to argue that black people and women are genetically inferior. But you’re NOT allowed to argue they are NOT inferior because that’s divisive. www.nytimes.com/2025/05/09/u...

Yikes

Bravo Onion

I just heard rave reviews from friends. I need to see it

Trump EEOC Texted College Professors’ Personal Phones to Ask If They Were Jewish “Barnard was not given advance notice of this outreach,” the college’s general counsel wrote in an email to faculty.

SCOOP: Trump's Equal Opportunity office is investigating Barnard's employment practices. Professors received texts to their personal phones on Monday, linking to a survey asking if they were Jewish and if they had been subjected "unwelcome discussions" theintercept.com/2025/04/23/t...

Some hopeful news

Women, minorities fired in purge of NIH science review boards Scientists, with expertise in fields that include mental health, cancer and infectious disease, typically serve five-year terms and were not given a reason for their dismissal.

Thirty-eight of 43 experts cut last month from the boards that review the science and research that happens in laboratories at the National Institutes of Health are female, Black or Hispanic, according to an analysis by the chairs of a dozen of the boards.

This #GoldenLoopholeAwards thread for #TaxDay2025 is great satire—hilarious yet deeply disturbing. Kudos to @Trillions_Trump for laughing us into painful truths. Let's #TaxTheRich and stop the #BillionaireTaxBailout

🗣️ Please share this call widely to support early career opportunities for folks in biobehavioral medicine, health psychology, or related disciplines! The ECEB is a great way to gain experience that is often not emphasized in grad or postdoctoral training. #healthpsych #affectivescience #psychscisky

New Publication! As a Black and Latino professor of public health, this work is deeply personal. When I was a student, stress was constant—and culturally relevant mental health support was rare. #MentalHealthEquity #FacultyOfColor

Just look at this guy’s happy face for confirmation

So great to meet up with colleagues in person after working together remotely for so many months.

And the paper got published!!

Latinx students are still vastly underrepresented in research like this. Let’s keep pushing for inclusive, equity-focused science in public health and mental health. #MentalHealthEquity #FacultyOfColor #PublicHealth

We found that mindfulness-based interventions (MBIs) can reduce stress, increase self-compassion & even boost GPA among Latinx students. But we need more research on access, barriers & outcomes. #Mindfulness #AcademicResearch
