It looks like the file path you gave it and your working directory are different (I'm also in no way an expert at r!) I would maybe try moving the csv to where r says it's looking for it.

WHY does ProQuest E-book Central now have an AI "Research Assistant?" Instead of a worse-written version of the book's actual summary popping out at me I'd prefer they fix the fact that if you search a word that's in a chapter title, every single page of that chapter pops up due to the header 😪

FDA to cut Covid booster access, excluding in-home carers By restricting vaccinations, "the FDA creates a dangerous public health gap."

Caregivers to disabled people and aging adults (who do not have certain health conditions) will not be able to get the Covid booster in the future under new rules, putting people they care for at risk. New from me at @motherjones.com

I had an interview yesterday for a graduate student researcher position on a project that's directly in my research area and I am manifesting HARD that they hire me 😭🙏✨🔮😩

There have been people less than helpful in my journey here. I wanted to acknowledge those too, bc I know I am not unique in this experience. No thank you to the physics study assoc that made me sing songs about how women couldn't study physics without sleeping with the professor, the day I stepped into university life. No thank you to the 5th year physics student that decided to assign me a stripper name within the first minute of meeting me in the physics coffee corner in my first year. No thank you to the technician that was responsible for onboarding me on the use of the cluster in my third year who raised his eyebrows and asked me if that meant I was some sort of computer girl. No thank you to the senior researcher that sent me utterly inappropriate texts after a conference, then proceeded to apologise months later by telling me they had not been meant for me anyway so no hard feelings remain hopefully And no thank you to him for attending every conference I've been to since. No thank you to the people who told me that it was surprising that I was doing a PhD since I was a girl. No thank you to the man who mistook me for a coffee lady at a conference, and after having to correct him two times that I did not work there, responded with you should consider it. No thank you to the researcher that asked me what I was wearing underneath my outfit during a conference. No thank you to the physicist who declared to a room full of other physicists that biologists don't know how to design an experiment. No thank you to the people who have called me scary instead of strong and intimidating instead of intelligent. And finally, no thank you to the exec board of the TU Delft, whose knee-jerk reaction to being held up a mirror about the social safety at the university, was to sue the party holding up the mirror instead of looking at the problems they highlighted. ... You have made me feel like I do not belong in science & I cannot forgive you for that.

A friend included this anti-acknowledgement section on her PhD thesis. She also added the proposition: “Systematic bullying and undermining of girls and women in STEM starts early on and is the reason why they do not stay in science and related fields.”
Absurd we still need to go through this

Exclusive: NIH to terminate hundreds of active research grants Studies that touch on LGBT+ health, gender identity and DEI in the biomedical workforce could be terminated, according to documents obtained by Nature.

NEW: The NIH has begun terminating grants for active projects studying gender identity, DEI, environmental justice, climate change, among other topics.

At least 16 termination letters have already been sent — and hundreds more are coming, people inside NIH tell me.

Medicaid names

Worth posting again for people who may not know. The names of what Medicaid is called in your state:

Can we please stop with the "why aren't Americans doing anything" Discourse that I keep seeing? I'm not even talking about people in other countries. I'm talking about my fellow USians who I see every day On Here bemoaning how we aren't protesting.

1. PROTESTS ARE LITERALLY HAPPENING EVERY DAY.

no funding if it seems like the research MIGHT involve a woman or a nonwhite person

One thing for faculty to do rn: share info with your students about basic needs programs on your campus. The whole shit show over federal funding means there's some programs that people rely on for food and other needs that have been disrupted, and sharing that info could really help students.

Excellent post

Our govt actively encouraged the thinking that some lives were, by necessity, disposable & to settle oneself to that being the only way to continue to perpetuate the status quo. You bet that opens the door to widescale fascism as the list of disposables grows.

My dad was tortured by the Gestapo for 4 days and thrown in a concentration camp for being in the Norwegian Resistance. Growing up, he would tell me things he learned in the Resistance. I thought, I'm never going to need this stuff. Here's some of those things #Thread

As the parent of a disabled student, I can tell you that the assessments & documentation necessary to get accommodations is time-consuming, difficult to access, & expensive. Students with documented disabilities aren’t “entitled,” “lazy,” or simply needing “extra time.”

For Survivors of Forced Sterilization in California Prisons, a Rushed Shot at Justice A state board deciding reparations for women sterilized against their will rejected most applications. Advocates are now racing against a January deadline for victims to appeal.

California identified roughly 800 women forcibly sterilized in state prisons from 2005 to 2013. Yet a reparations program for victims has compensated only a fraction, with most claims being denied. boltsmag.org/forced-...

My computational social sciences instructor made a really good point yesterday. In regards to online platforms like LLMs and social media, “if you’re not paying for it, you’re the product.”

Disabled people are not acceptable casualties.

Not during natural disasters.
Not during a pandemic.
Not during climate collapse.
Not for profit.
Not for optics.
Not at protests.
Not at school.
Not for election goals.
Not for personal comfort.

There is no justice without disability justice.

Your periodic reminder that if you need to get out of your house FAST, do not bother trying to stuff your cats into carriers, just scoop them up in pillowcases. (You can drop said squirming rage sacks into carriers for added security if you have time.)

If there are any disability-specific support and relief efforts/mutual aid in the affected California areas, please amplify.

Return-to-office (RTO) mandates lead to abnormally high employee turnover, especially for female/more senior/more skilled employees.

It also takes significantly longer to fill these job vacancies after RTO mandates.
