Pay attention.
"This has been driven partly by intense competition with the United States. Both countries are directly competing for leadership in science and technology, Kam says."
China is intensifying investments in science while the US undermines support for fundamental research.
"China has shifted its focus from pursuing incremental improvements in research to spur original theories and frontier technologies to secure independent intellectual property"

To think MAGA was out here clutching pearls over whether someone might buy candy, cookies, or soda with food assistance, while so many bigger issues go untouched.
A erstwhile colleague of mine - who is extremely smart, careful and honest - retracted a highish profile paper and I still remember the reaction on social media and how directly contrary it ran to the aims and goals of science. This is a very important initiative.
My body hates me when I don’t infuse on time.
I've been on SSE council since 2022 -- first as a council member and now as SSE President. I've loved every minute of it and have learned so much. If you're an SSE member and are interested in serving on council, let us know by self-nominating!
Doppelmoral!!

Changes over time at the Journal of Applied Ecology "show that editorial diversification is a practical lever for making peer review more inclusive and better aligned with the global distribution of research. These changes make the publication process fairer and improve the quality and global […]
Do your part for science and democracy. Call today.
Student projects contribute to understanding social and cultural events of national defense, environmental stewardship, and AI, among so much more.
This programming is cheap - chump change for the government - and super high value for taxpayer dollar.
Don’t let more expensive mechanisms replace the most cost-effective one for supporting the next generation of scientific leaders.
Don’t let other countries attract our students away from the US.
If you agree, call your reps. More calls = more attention. Don’t let this administration threaten the future of social science.
Thanks to @repwalkinshaw.bsky.social’s office today for listening to me ask for protections for NSF, including *line-item appropriation for doctoral dissertation research improvement grants*.

I am considering joining American Association of Anthropology, but would like to hear how the association helped others with their career & research before making a decision. I am also considering joining the sub-groups/associations on biological anthropology & feminist anthropology. Can you help?
Aww, thanks! I'll tell you who that was when I see you next. I googled them to find CV and that's what I got from their university faculty page.
Please do!
Dang. I will never be this cool.
With all the ethical issues associated with #AI, there are lots of reasons to be wary of using it. I haven't landed on a particular side of this yet, but am accumulating evidence of how dodgy it can be even for simple asks. There was no reason whatsoever for it to make up a reading here. None.
Reminded me of this essay about the #hallucinations of #AI that my friend and colleague @raedear1.bsky.social shared with me:
