Extensive compositionality in the vocal system of bonobos Compositionality, the capacity to combine meaningful elements into larger meaningful structures, is a hallmark of human language. Compositionality can be trivial (the combination’s meaning is the sum ...

So I'm trying to focus on something good in #TrumpsAmerica. And this new finding about language and bonobo chimps excited my nerd brain. #scienceiscool

New data fill long-standing gaps in the study of policing Data show discrimination, but analysis must be more policy relevant

Science proves "driving while black." Why am I not surprised?

'Segregated facilities' are no longer explicitly banned in federal contracts The Trump administration cut a clause from federal contracting rules that had been on the books since the 1960s: Companies are no longer explicitly prohibited from having segregated facilities.

Apparently the DEI rollback means we can have race-based water fountains again. What year is it in #TrumpsAmerica

No shit.

And now the Dem leadership think they didn’t run far enough to the right. πŸ™„

Sounds like they’ve bought into the Fox News propaganda too. The real problem is corporate donations and bought politicians. Which includes all their dumb asses.

We fought for 7 years to get away from a king. The constitution is clear- Americans do not want a concentration of power.
It is the division the separation of power - the legislative, executive, and judicial branches of government - that prevents any one branch from becoming too powerful.

I’ve been working closely with an NSF officer for a couple months now. Friday is his last day because he’s one of President Musk’s victims. #TrumpsAmerica

I’m having to tell faculty to avoid words like β€œwoman” in grant applications because it’s a DEI term now. πŸ™„ #TrumpsAmerica

This is a giant overstepping of Trump’s powers as President. It’s not up to the executive office to designate funding. According to the Constitution, it’s the responsibility of congress. Where is a republican with a backbone?

White House pauses all federal grants, sparking confusion The Trump administration has put a hold on all federal financial grants and loans, affecting tens of billions of dollars in payments.

The @washingtonpost.com now confirms my earlier reporting:

We were taught that Congress has the power of the purse, but Trump is seizing that power by β€œpausing” communications from federal agencies. Is this where the dismantling begins? #TrumpsAmerica

DOJ & HUD also withdrew open funding opportunities and paused funding today. #trumpsamerica

Learned today that Trump’s freeze on DHHS communications includes reviews and award letters for grant funding. That means research into diseases like cancer could be delayed or ended. #trumpsamerica
