Anyone else have that R&R block where working on edits just feels too daunting?

This whole paper is so cool and timely. I am so lucky to have been a part of it.

In a faculty writing retreat and just amazed and excited at the wide range of research people do. Aztec fire rituals, sourdough biomes, cognitive aging, quantum materials, the life of a female artist. Just so cool. #LearningIsFun

I absolutely LOVE it when I'm reading a paper and my friends (or my wife) are cited. Nothing tickles me more than my friends, who do good work, getting seen for that work.

Missed a call to my office number today. Googled the number because the voicemail was silent. Turns out others have been called by this number and it's a scam caller pretending to be an NSF program officer. 254-203-9546.

“By firing us, you’re going to cut down on how much revenue the country brings in,” said an axed IRS specialist who’d been brought in to audit complex tax returns filed by large corporations and wealthy individuals. “This was not about saving money.” By @andykroll.bsky.social

Every opinion piece in the Washington Post must now follow Bezos' new rightwing guidelines. Writers can say that they would have written the same thing anyway, but the fact remains: Their piece was only published because it met his new rightwing guidelines. Support independent, pro-democracy media.

If you are a cis person *please* take 2 minutes to do this. Trans people with non-updated gender markers, historical gender marker changes, and X markers are terrified to travel right now; rolling back this policy would mean a lot.

Public comments are open for gender marker changes for trans people on passports. DS-11 Application for passport: www.federalregister.gov/documents/20... DS-82 Passport Renewal: www.federalregister.gov/documents/20... DS-5504 Name Change and Corrections. www.federalregister.gov/documents/20...

There isn’t a way to interpret the Trump administration’s decision to outright dismiss these EEOC gender identity cases other than “the Trump administration wants more stuff like this to happen more often” apnews.com/article/eeoc...

This tax season, we're here to remind you about TurboTax's 20-year fight to stop Americans from filing their taxes for free. (Published Oct. 2019)

The Kerr article is worth a read! I’ve assigned it to my grad students for nearly 20 years now, and it still holds up.

A little dark humor for a serious question. #iopsych

The CFPB will begin deleting agency data as soon as today. Meanwhile, the Trump administration and Musk staffers are rewriting history on U.S. government websites and erasing data from databases nationwide—removing information that doesn’t align with their political agenda.

Got bad news for you, edu-world. MAGA intellectuals don't believe gov't SHOULD collect race/sex data because it's part of the *corrupting civil rights regime* & 2) they don't believe in the egalitarian project that public education is central to

Do Americans want safe food? Which Departments are responsible for food safety? USDA HHS -> FDA and CDC Commerce -> NOAA (fisheries) If one Department is disabled, we don’t have safe food Enjoy your dinner 🍲

This administration has taken several steps that would benefit privatized research. You think billionaires are trying to raze our public research systems because only because they’re anti-higher ed? They want the best of universities on payroll, and they want IP, patents, products, and profit.

Happy to report that APA wrote this letter, gathered a coalition across science, and will now pay for ads for it to be disseminated in Science and Chronicle of Higher Ed to spread the word!! unitedsciencealliance.org

The same amount of money could have been used to pay the rent on a one-bedroom apartment for more than 1,000 people for a year. https://buff.ly/3Ewunen

So grateful for my #IOPsych community. I posted a recruitment flyer yesterday here and on LinkedIn and RAPIDLY many people reposted it to their own networks. Just a little show of support. Love y'all

When teams have discussions they tend to mostly talk about shared information, meaning they get the least out of those discussions. Creating some structure to discussions to ensure people share unique info can help address this. (DeChurch & Mesmer-Magnus, 2009)

Now under Trump, the NIH says it is cutting ~$9 billion in federal research grants supporting medical research ranging from cancer to Alzheimer's diseases. “I think it’s going to destroy research universities in the short term, and I don’t know after that." www.nytimes.com/2025/02/07/u...

“When people talk about their lack of sleep, they can indeed gain status—but the specific traits that get highlighted differ based on gender.” “Bragging about sleep deprivation ultimately is harmful to both the employees and the employer.”

NIH cuts indirect rates on grants to 15%. This will be the end of American excellence in science. Universities will struggle and many (likely most) will terminate their research programs. Independent research institutions will not be able to survive this. grants.nih.gov/grants/guide...

This is a de facto massive budget cut to research universities. We are talking Great Recession size impacts.

Elon Musk’s team is set to delve into the nation’s aviation system, with his 20-year-old staffers utilizing AI to assist the FAA in a rapid overhaul of aviation technology. However, a more practical solution would be to simply hire more workers, as the FAA is severely short-staffed.

Why did we create the Department of Education? What does it do? And is it even possible to dissolve it? A quick six-minute explainer interview here...

anyway as i've argued before any class politics worth its name is not going to treat identity as an obstacle to solidarity but as an asset. "we all suffer in different ways under capitalism and the only way to relieve your particular suffering is to help me relieve mine and vice versa."
