Someone make a girl so confusing edit PLEASE

This statement from Jonathan Joss's husband is heart breaking.

No, headline writers, he wasn't "killed in an argument with a neighbor." He was *deliberately murdered* for being gay right after his dog was decapitated.

Bet the murderer calls himself a "Christian."

THIS is why Pride is important.

A word cloud made from flagged terms in terminated NIH grant proposals. The most prominent words in large font include “trans,” “diverse,” “diversity,” “minority,” “sex,” “expression,” “mental health,” “gender,” and “women.” Other visible terms include “LGBTQ,” “racial,” “underrepresented,” “disability,” “barriers,” “black,” “equity,” “health equity,” “vaccine,” “bias,” and “intersectionality.” The word cloud highlights terms related to identity, inclusion, and marginalized communities.

HAPPY PRIDE 🏳️‍🌈

Under Trump, research using terms like “Trans,” “LGBTQ,” & “Gender identity” is being defunded. These terms reflect real people who deserve science that includes them.

Stand with us to protect LGBTQ+ science from political erasure.

Be gay do crow stuff

This is brilliant because it takes advantage of academics’ natural willingness to talk about their work.

Please consider doing one of these!

Spent the weekend grant-writing. I bribeb myself with cafe-hopping in San Francisco. (It's like bar-hopping for losers.)

Anyway, I had an affogato and a barista thought I was a college student so overall it was a pretty great experience.

We are the Trauma + SUD SIG of ISTSS! Posts will be here vs. on X moving forward. Follow us for content related to co-occurring SUD/PTSD, substance use, and trauma.

Due to maintenance, Research.gov (including access to NSF-PAR, GRFP, PES, and ETAP) will be unavailable from Fri., 4/25 at 10:00 PM ET to Sat., 4/26 at 1:00 PM ET. NSF apologizes for any inconvenience.

🚨 Practical URGENT tip for NSF grantees:

Out of an abundance of caution, I would right now go into Research.gov and…

1. Download your NSF award letters.

2. Print PDF your annual reports.

3. Screenshot the status table for annual reports.

NSF is planning maintenance tomorrow to Research.gov

Just published: 7 years of routine outcomes monitoring from UC Berkeley Psych Clinic 📊 Clients from minoritized groups started with more severe symptoms, but improved just as much as majority clients. Culturally sensitive therapy works!

Fact check! These have been in the DSM since 1980. If you personally did not hear of something, that does not mean it was non-existent.

HHS plans to cut the national suicide hotline’s program for LGBTQ youth In February, the program received an average of 2,100 contacts per day.

The federal government plans to eliminate services for LGBTQ youth who call 988, the national suicide and crisis hotline, according to a Health and Human Services budget draft leaked last week.

NSF halts grant awards while staff do second review Action comes after DOGE team arrives at science agency

NSF’s division of grants and awards is returning all grant proposals previously approved for funding and awaiting final signoff to the program officers to screen for keywords.

In the meantime, NSF will not make any new awards.

Well, at least my "in this economy?" jokes are landing better.

Transgender Day of Visibility 2025 events held around U.S. The annual event celebrates transgender people raising awareness about the discrimination they face and their contributions to society.

"Having trans rights saves lives and so we need to make sure we are protecting trans people -- legislatively and in our everyday interactions in life." @martigcummings.bsky.social

March 31st is Trans Day of Visibility.

What would book burning look like in the 21st century?

YouTube video by lambdalegal Know Your Rights: Passports

In response to hundreds of urgent identity document questions from transgender, gender-nonconforming, nonbinary and intersex people across the country, our colleagues at @lambdalegal.bsky.social presented a special virtual info session called KNOW YOUR RIGHTS: PASSPORTS.

Watch now:

Text that reads "Adapting PTSD Treatment for Service Members" overlayed on image of solider with optimistic expression conversing with someone off camera. Logos displayed for STRONG STAR Training Initiative and UT Health San Antonio.

(1/4) Does integrating military culture make a difference when providing PTSD treatment to service members? 🤔🇺🇸
✅ Yes! Evidence-based PTSD treatments have been shown to be more effective for active-duty patients when culturally informed adaptations are made.

Purple hat therapy: "an intervention that combines evidence-based treatment components with a new component of questionable scientific plausibility".

PLEASE SHARE 💜 With uncertainty in federal research funding & hiring, we are offering *FREE* resume/CV reviews for early-career scientists in the US who have rescinded job offers or who risk layoffs.

If you feel this support would benefit you, submit resume/CV here: forms.gle/CCbbu2X5GJwH...

"If anything is forbidden now, it is that medical and science journals, whose duty is to stand for integrity and equity, should bow to political or ideological censorship."

"Get a federal grant" is a common - although often unwritten -expectation for tenure and promotion in science departments.

Every science department should start reviewing those tenure and promotion requirements IMMEDIATELY.

Departments can't review faculty as though it's "business as usual."

Has anybody heard of APPIC has made a comment on how NIH freeze might influence internship match (if at all?)

Haven't been able to find anything yet but also not sure where their communication would be most active

Federal employees, IT IS YOUR RIGHT TO CONTACT YOUR REPRESENTATIVES! Be sure to:

1. State that you are contacting them as a private citizen.
2. State the impact on you as a private citizen who happens to be federal employee.
3. Correspond outside of work hours.

Trump comes for the scientists It is widely known that right-wing people of a conservative disposition do not trust the government, however much they wish to control it. There is also a lot of evidence that they do not trust scien...

Trump comes for the scientists www.taxresearch.org.uk/Blog/2025/01... Trump has cancelled almost all US government medical research. He's also cancelled communication on current medical crises. Mistrust of science is a fascist trait. It looks like the people of the USA are going to suffer for it.

‘Never seen anything like this’: Trump’s team halts NIH meetings and travel In an unprecedented move, research-grant reviews have been suspended indefinitely at the world’s largest public funder of biomedical research.

More from inside NIH:

Per a source with knowledge, for all internal research (of which there is like $10 billion worth or so), ALL purchasing shut down as of yesterday.

That means gloves, reagents, anything involved with lab work, which means a lot of that work will stop.

Curious about the incremental validity of the treatment components.

Again, early career researchers will be disproportionately affected. Our salaries and positions overwhelmingly depend on grant funding. What are more senior folks planning to do to support us during the unprecedented rollback of these mechanisms?
