Nonprofit Refuses $1.5M Science Grant Due To New Federal DEI Rules A coding nonprofit turned down a $1.5M NSF grant after new DEI restrictions, highlighting the clash between federal policy and scientific community values.

The Carpentries (@carpentries.carpentries.org‬), a nonprofit that has trained over 100,000 researchers in coding and data skills, turned down a $1.5 million NSF grant after being asked to strip diversity-related content from its programming. www.forbes.com/sites/johndr...

my friend @malaika-h.bsky.social is an incredibly talented and prolific crossword constructor—AND she keeps great records of her publications. I made her a very cool website that shows everything she's made malaikahanda.com

11. The history discipline venerates the single authored work too much and often discourages collaboration

If you get overwhelmed easily, suggesting smaller dinners after receptions can keep things manageable

Screenshot of Amanda Wyatt Visconti (that's me) poster for the Digital Humanities 2025 conference in Portugal happening later this week. The poster has a lot of color going on: a border of zine covers, at least 7 rainbows not counting the rainbow-leopard-print border around the Zine Bakery zine-toaster-rainbow logo, lime green text on bright purple, magenta arrows, etc. The poster's intro text says "Zine Bakery / Author: Dr. Amanda Wyatt Visconti / Project Website: ZineBakery.com / Exploring zines for DH research, methods training, & scholarly communication. You might be picturing zines as their 20th-century origins: collaged, xeroxed, free paper booklets on subcultures, social justice, marginalized experiences; or their earliest precursors, like the "little magazines" of the Harlem Renaissance. But today, creators make "zines" varying widely in format, from 100+ page tiny books to digital-only creative websites. Content varies widely: comics, tutorials, scholarly or personal essays, collage, creative writing, news, & more. However they look, most zines stay true to the form's original vision of radically low barrier authoring, publication, dissemintation, & reading. Zines are a welcoming, inexpensive, and effective format for do-it-yourself scholarly communication, friendly teaching of digital research methods, and public humanities outreach - as well as an opportunity for data analysis and other DH explorations. The Zine Bakery (ZineBakery.com) is a digital humanities project collecting, amplifying, researching, & authoring zines, with an emphasis on free, resharable zines & zines about culture, tech, & justice." The poster goes on to share some stats about the zines in the catalog, list the different parts of the research, and give an overview of how zines are useful for urgent advocacy.

I'm attending #DH2025 virtually*, but I designed my conference poster on my ZineBakery.com research to be as Visually Extra as possible (🎵rainbow leopard print🎶) to give me (& hopefully you?) joy, so please enjoy! (*bc of fascism vs. trans passports, & recently getting sick from people not masking)

Being Too Helpful At Work Can Hurt Your Career—Here’s How To Say No Women are more likely to take on behind-the-scenes duties at work—extra tasks like onboarding or event planning—and it's hurting their careers. Here's how to say no.

In a study of professors, women got 378 new work requests over 4 weeks vs 118 for men. Women spent more time on service, advising & teaching; men on research. Orgs should track who is taking extra duties & ensure they are rewarded and distributed fairly. www.forbes.com/sites/kimels...

The mainstream media has enabled Trump’s war on universities | Jason Stanley For the past decade, the US press has fueled a moral panic over leftists on campus while failing to report on the right’s assault

Essential reading (by @jasonstanley.bsky.social) for every American. The media, aided by a handful of reactionary academics and compliant university administrations, has sold the public a huge lie about wokeness on college campuses, enabling the extreme right. www.theguardian.com/commentisfre...
