Science funding is on the line, which jeopardizes life-saving research and research that helps improve our communities. Please read this post for action steps you can take to help #savescience, before it is too late. #SaveNIH #SaveNSF open.substack.com/pub/fromthes...

Over 90% of Americans rely on federally funded science, But only 10% are worried about losing access to it. That’s a dangerous disconnect. Help us close the gap. Join our #SummerFightForScience and help spread the word about how essential science is to everyday lives. www.npr.org/2025/05/06/n...

On this anniversary of the Supreme Court Gault decision establishing children have the same due process rights as adults, we celebrate the victory but recognize the ongoing fight to realize its true promise.

#WithoutNSF @caitcavanagh.bsky.social and I wouldn’t have been able to study the short and long-term effects of juvenile incarceration on youth development and future offending, or examine how the COVID-19 pandemic affected justice-involved youth. #SaveScience

Sad, Sad, Sad, and shocking: U.S. scientists’ lives and careers are being upended. Here are five of their stories @science.org @standupforscience.bsky.social www.science.org/content/arti...

New article alert w/ @caitcavanagh.bsky.social and others! In this daily diary study, we explored how virtual social interactions (i.e., via phone or online) affected the mood and mental health of justice-involved and community adolescents across the first year of the pandemic. t.co/DxOa8NwMC0

Do not normalize children dying from measles. Measles was previously eliminated in the US, thanks to vaccines. When children die from measles, it means that adults have catastrophically failed to protect them because they have rejected basic science.

🚨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.

It’s me. Juvenile justice is a tough field- so much of what we KNOW works isn’t implemented for political reasons. Compound that with the secondary trauma of the subject matter. And then add 100s of hours trying to convince folks this matters enough to fund…only for all the effort to get wiped away
