I’m in the same situation and curious to know

I'm stepping on the theme of Chris' book here but, we have an extremely toxic information environment controlled by wealthy oligarchs who have aligned themselves with Trump, the whole point is to manipulate people into making poor decisions. bsky.app/profile/chri...

Hey I’m on there! 🙌

My captain, my king

Upon learning that yesterday would be my last day as a program officer at the National Science Foundation, I shared this parting message with my colleagues. The next few months will be frenetic and stressful for them. Here are some things that you can do to help them with the mission ahead. (1)

This is the way.

Children’s Hospital of Pennsylvania has indirect rate of 70%, but they probably didn’t want to list that atop Harvard because defunding a children’s hospital might be perceived as problematic.

This is devastating

If you're an NSF PI like me, you might be wondering: Will my grant be suspended or terminated next week?

A few key things to know: First off, remember that NSF is **congressionally mandated** to evaluate broader impacts. And laws like CHIPS and Science supersede EOs.

But also... 🧵 thread

Apparently all the PhD researchers holding prestigious NSF-funded research fellowships are having their salaries withheld until some unspecified time when the leadership figures out how to eliminate any grant funding that doesn’t align with the president’s political ideology.

This is Phyllis Fong. I very much respect that she made them physically remove her from her office, which remains hers by right, because she hasn’t been legally terminated.

they changed the definition of child for literally one kind of medical care. fuck these ghouls to the deepest layer of hell

I recently read Legendborn which is a twist on Arthurian legend and really enjoyed it!

👍🏼StoryGraph, a Black woman-owned platform, offers an ethical, ad-free alternative with mood-based recommendations, user control over data, and a focus on inclusivity. Support diversity over corporate power!

“It’s weird you felt comfortable saying that” is also a good one

I had the same realization a few weeks ago, and someone recommended the following code to disable copy/paste: community.qualtrics.com/custom-code-...

That has been a common theme in lines of research that have struggled to replicate. It was (and still is) a big part of social psych. I was literally taught in a social psych seminar in grad school that “strong effects from subtle manipulations” is a cornerstone of the field

This is a pretty good take for an admittedly unformed one.

It’s also worth pointing out that the part of the stereotype threat theory that’s falling is NOT the idea that stereotypes are threatening. It’s that you can turn that on and off through subtle environmental cues

What is happening in Gaza is beyond evil. Since becoming a parent, the suffering of children feels so much more visceral, but you shouldn’t need that to be able to say this is wrong.

WHO: World might want to forget about Covid-19, but we cannot afford to World Health Organisation (WHO) director-general Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus said on average, about 1,000 deaths from Covid-19 were reported to WHO each week. This figure only includes the countries th...
