This is my amazing Doctoral advisee’s dissertation. She is a prior teacher and we would love if folks in the Mid-Atlantic region would repost!

One week left to apply to the University of Delaware’s PhD in Education (Learning Sciences, Literacy, Math Ed, Sociocultural Approaches, School Psych) or Educational Statistics and Research Methods!

A parent’s worst nightmare.

This was such a fun experience with @rodriguesjm.bsky.social Thanks for highlighting our work @jeffgreene.bsky.social !

An ed psych journal is refusing to publish our manuscript unless we "neutralize" "political" content. This is after the manuscript was peer-reviewed and accepted for publication. DM me for details!

I'm devastated. Two years of work and revisions with four junior co-authors cast aside that easily.

Great time today giving a workshop on working w/worked examples in enVision math to DE math teachers & specialists for the School Success Center at @udelaware.bsky.social. Enjoyed developing the session w/PhD candidates @elenamsilla.bsky.social @meg-botello.bsky.social & Dr. @sarcler.bsky.social

🤗 it’s just begun! 🥳

🥹🥹 Stop! 😭

Hooding a Doctoral student is really one of the BEST feelings EVER. Congratulations Dr. Clerjuste! @sarcler.bsky.social It has been an honor to serve as your advisor and a pleasure to watch you grow and thrive! SO PROUD! 🥹 @udelaware.bsky.social

Congrats @sarcler.bsky.social aka Dr. Clerjuste on passing her dissertation defense today! SO proud of all you’ve accomplished & looking forward to supporting you as you continue to succeed! Thanks to supportive committee members @mandymathed.bsky.social Henry May & Emily Fyfe (on Zoom-not pictured)

My ongoing request:

If your NSF or NIH grant was terminated--whether at Harvard or elsewhere--please report it here.

NSF: grant-watch.us/submit-nsf.h...

NIH: grant-watch.us/submit-nih.h...

Our trackers are actively used in lawsuits and are often the only record that terminations ever occurred.

It is difficult to find joy in our work when science is under attack. Today I led a professional learning session for math teachers based on my research w/ @elenamsilla.bsky.social. I also presented stellar grad students (including @sarcler.bsky.social) w/awards for their research. Joy unlocked 🤩

Trump Administration Cancels Scores of Grants to Study Online Misinformation

Webinar on Responding to NSF Grant Terminations Join the Federation of Associations in Behavioral and Brain Sciences (FABBS) on Friday, May 9th, at 2:00 PM ET for an informative webinar on responding to NSF grant terminations. We will discuss the rules, procedures and available options for grantees who have had their grant terminated.

🧪 If you had your NSF grant terminated, I'd *highly* recommend going to this Friday's webinar.

Friday May 9 at 2-3 pm ET

Will talk about both the appeals process, in addition to allowable closeout costs. Share widely.

🧪 Data update on NSF grant terminations

Including last Friday's terminations, STEM education grants now account for...

54% of terminated NSF grants (751 of 1381)
75% of terminated NSF funding ($590M of $783M)

The next generation of scientists is being targeted.
