1/8. This week I had a few different conversations with scholars who, in the face of the attacks on science and institutions of learning in the U.S., are wondering what to do. One suggestion I have is: keep doing your work. It matters in and of itself. Why do I say that? A few reasons.

For some reason when I have to write an IRB submission all my tasks I’ve been putting off for ages suddenly become important πŸ€·πŸ»β€β™€οΈ #AcademicSky

You’re welcome. The waiting game is hard, but with most things in academia, it’s not probably not about you or the quality of your work, but rather the untenable system!

I’d guess that you won’t hear back until the editors spring break. If you don’t hear by then, maybe reach out, but until then I’d just assume the editor/associate editor is probably swamped.

The US Dept of Ed provides protections for kids with special needs (504s and IEPs) & funds ed research. Under the last Trump admin competitions for new grants were suspended for several years. Without the Dept of Ed, the US will fall further behind in reading, math, & science. #EduSky #ParentSky
