This is terrible. So sorry to your student and to you.

Radicalized White Men Like the FSU Shooter Are the Real Threat to Campuses—Not Student Protestors "The alleged gunman is a quintessentially American school shooter."

the US government is so hostile to immigrants and Palestine activism that they’re snatching students off campuses and deporting them—while radicalized white men like FSU shooter Phoenix Ikner, the son of a cop who used her gun, espouse Nazi ideology and ridicule protesters before killing.

Hooray for new lab members!

Did You Work on a Terminated NIH Grant? ProPublica Wants to Hear From You. The National Institutes of Health is canceling grants that are seen as conflicting with the Trump administration’s priorities. We want to hear from researchers who have been affected.

“Sorry kid I know you wanted to go to camp this summer but instead you need to pick oranges because Republicans deported innocent workers to throw racist red meat at their base.”

Some happy news!!! Yay!!!

Fully half of my published articles in scientific journals!!!

1. For the past thirty years I've had the best job in the world.


I've had the opportunity to follow my curiosity; explore the workings of nature and society; mentor students and junior colleagues in the same process; and teach generations of students about it all.

I was happy to #standupforscience2025 yesterday. And of course, I have been thinking about things I didn't have a chance to say.

Like because of the chaos at NIH (and the freezing of funding), how my team has been waiting for NOAs for two non-competing renewals since mid-January.

Only in the plaintiff states, which is super fun for those of us in red states.

Screen shotting Florida for when i start making calls tomorrow.

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.

Call your reps, call your university admins.

Flyer for an Academic of Psychological Clinical Science-Funded Dissemination & Implementation Science Speaker Series on Measurement-Based Care.

Next week, I'm so excited to be spending Valentine's Day with Ruben Martinez (@rubenmartinez.bsky.social) and Susan Douglas talking about our shared love of measurement-based care. Thanks to sponsorship from the Academy of Psychological Clinical Science, the panel is free.

Worried about losing access to US federal data that may go off-line, or already is? You’re not alone—but duplication isn’t the answer.

Many ongoing efforts have already archived key datasets and many more are ongoing. Check out these existing resources and, if you can, support their work. 🧵

list of banned keywords

🚨BREAKING. From a program officer at the National Science Foundation, a list of keywords that can cause a grant to be pulled. I will be sharing screenshots of these keywords along with a decision tree. Please share widely. This is a crisis for academic freedom & science.

A lot of folks have followed me after I posted about NIH funding. Glad you're interested in the topic!

You can help by contacting congress to voice your support for federally funded research and encourage them to increase, rather than cut NIH/NSF, funding in the 2025 fiscal year.

And the funding announcement for diversity supplements now has been updated to expire today. Supplements are so important to the careers of junior scientists. This is crushing for post docs and early career faculty

So excited to be on this panel!

If you are ready to advocate to your representatives (or friends and families) about the economic value of NIH funded research, you can check your state at www.unitedformedicalresearch.org/nih-in-your-...

Step 1) find your rep

www.congress.gov/members/find...

Step 2) send an email or call their office

Step 3) tell them that federal spending on scientific advancement is the best hope we have to “win against china” or whatever these guys are obsessed with these days

Perfect that I got to start my morning listening to General Hospi-tale.

The trustee is Scott Yenor, who the Chronicle of Higher Education platformed a couple of weeks ago as a serious voice on higher education.

Sounds right

When I teach on this I usually pull in Croskerry's models from medical decision-making if that helps. Seems like important work for you and your colleague to do!
