Why are we still sending our work to Wiley and other publishing companies so that they can profit from it? There's so many better options now, for example: psychopen.eu/journals/

I was taught in allyship training that “did you really just say that” and “dude, not cool” can be really powerful disruptors in conversation with people you know in real life.

I’ve used them (and seen them used) quite successfully

Opinion | Trump’s ‘Compact’ With Universities Is Just Extortion

Here's the assignment folks. Write op-eds for your local papers and campus newspapers too. Just. Say. No. This is a classic authoritarian move and risks the future of higher education and science and innovation in the US. Speak out today. No time to lose. www.nytimes.com/2025/10/02/o...

Government Workers Say Their Out-of-Office Replies Were Forcibly Changed to Blame Democrats for Shutdown Some employees at the Department of Education changed their responses back to the more neutral language, only to have it changed yet again to the partisan response, multiple sources tell WIRED.

NEW! Dept of Education workers say their OOO replies were forcibly changed to blame Democrats for shutdown. When employees changed their responses back to the more neutral language, it changed yet again to the partisan response.

New paper led by @drlynam.bsky.social on the need for more training in and engagement with open science practices in clinical psych programs. It has been difficult to make progress due to a variety of barriers, including students working in labs uninterested or hostile to these approaches.

One of the best things about travelling is seeing how things can be done differently and that 'alternatives are possible'!

I AM TIRED OF THIS FUCKING BULLSHIT

Does anyone use #RedCap for child participant database management? If so, would you be willing to share screenshots etc. of what your user interface looks like or share the template, whichever is easier.

This is a fundamental point that 99% of higher-ed coverage, and 100% of immig coverage, have missed.

Oh, nice! I don't know about these, so I will look them up!

What are your favorite open access research tools? Zotero, Jamovi, R, what else?

A poster shows the cover of the book The Haunting of Edward Drake and the author photo. Text says Narberth Bookshop presents a spooky book signing with local author Drew Conry -Murray. Thursday Oct 30 at 7pm, 221 Haverford Ave. Narberth.

Slight glimmer of hope: waiting in line and a stranger strikes up a conversation with me and husband. Without knowing us at all, she feels comfortable expressing her serious concern with Trump. Also saw more tshirts with progressive messages.

I just talked to a great team from Kenya who described the challenge of paying for a statistical platform like SPSS, but then loosing the license and the skills. Of course, R solves the cost issue, but it was also nice to tell them about jamovi (and JASP)--free AND easy to use. www.jamovi.org

Any idea why CVS can't send me my vaccine record to my email (and doctors can't send info via email)? I have to create an account with two factor authentication, which is unavailable right now, to get access to a record that I got a flu shot?

The Washington Post Fired Me — But My Voice Will Not Be Silenced. I spoke out against hatred and violence in America — and it cost me my job.

Some personal news:

I've been fired from the Washington Post in the aftermath of the Charlie Kirk shooting.

TB is the No. 1 killer among infectious diseases. A new study says its toll could mount New research estimates that as many as 2.2 million more people could die of tuberculosis if U.S. cuts to foreign aid become permanent.

This is what happens when you stoke division and fan the flames of extremism.

It’s not only mothers’ brains that respond to seeing their baby—research by Newsome et al finds similar activation in certain regions in first-time fathers’ brains when they watch videos of their own baby—but not of other babies or their pregnant partner:

Multiple historically Black colleges on lockdown after ‘terroristic’ threat At least five HBCUs went on lockdown and cancelled classes Thursday after receiving threats.

At least five historically Black colleges and universities received violent threats on Thursday, prompting several of them to place their campuses on lockdown and cancel classes.

I hope Charlie Kirk recovers quickly then, like James Brady, uses his megaphone to help advocate for common sense limits on firearms.

I went to high school there. Very sad.

As South Korea abolishes its gender ministry, women fight back Seoul is abolishing its equality ministry, despite a vast gender pay gap and pervasive sexism.

In the US and Korea, the assumption is that women, LGBTQ+ & people of color lack merit.

"Upon entering office, President Yoon scrapped government gender quotas, declaring people would be hired on merit, not sex. He appointed just three women to his 19-member cabinet." www.bbc.com/news/world-a...
