📢BREAKING: Just left the courthouse for our NIH grant termination case Judge ruled terminations are “VOID & ILLEGAL” As a plaintiff, I felt a wave of relief & hope; he acknowledged the discrimination & harm Closed by asking, ‘Have we fallen so low? Have we no shame?’

My Canadian university, Queen's, is offering TWENTY 4-year funded PhDs (40k CAD/yr) for a student of ANY citizenship who has been accepted at a top 100 US university but have had offer rescinded OR are reconsidering offer due to US policy. Details found here👇 www.queensu.ca/grad-postdoc...

University leaders need to understand: they are holding INCREDIBLY good cards. It is so rare in today's polarized era to have the support of 70+ percent of the public against the Trump admiministration on anything. Universities have that—AND winning legal arguments.

This is bleak. A database of cancelled NIH grants.

University presidents, the time is now! Unshackle the general counsel's office! File all the lawsuits! Release the faculty upon the op-ed sections! Write to your alumni, parents, and donors! You have nothing to lose but a tiny percentage of your enormous endowments... www.nytimes.com/2025/04/08/u...

Working with an interdisciplinary team, we have developed a website to communicate how the White House's proposed cuts to health research would cause losses of $16B and 68,500 jobs. Find out how your community may be impacted. Explore more at SCIMaP: scienceimpacts.org a 🧵

BREAKING: We are suing the Trump admin on behalf of our members for unlawfully cutting off $400 million in federal funding for crucial public health research to force Columbia University to surrender its academic independence. Stay Tuned.

This is what breaks my heart. These young people who are so eager and full of promise and who are the next generation of Nobel Prize winners, scientists inventors, teachers. #Trump and #Musk have destroyed it all. www.wired.com/story/the-ch...

Circulate this widely! We need to know which NIH grants have been terminated. It goes beyond the list that HHS has released. Send to every scientist you know. @scott-delaney.bsky.social @noamross.net

HEY DORKS! I did some math. WE can be the difference. Erica Chenoweth’s work suggests that when 3.5% of a public are mobilized in one non-violent action, the movement is almost always successful. How does this apply right now? Follow me 1/x www.hks.harvard.edu/centers/carr...

Excited to share that my paper on citizen-to-citizen persuasion, co-authored with Carlos Rueda-Cañòn and @tjryan02.bsky.social, was just accepted at the Journal of Politics @thejop.bsky.social . Link: www.journals.uchicago.edu/doi/10.1086/... 🧵

Multiple LGBTQ+ NIH grants terminated over the weekend. This is terrifying for those of us who do federally funded LGBTQ+ research-I know I lost a lot of sleep this weekend. Very grateful that @britshmit.bsky.social was also awake at 3am on saturday to DM about it. open.substack.com/pub/insideme...

Get in Dorks, we are going protesting. STAND UP FOR SCIENCE. MARCH 7th 12-4pm. DC AND YOUR STATE CAPITALS. More information to come.

And if this wan't bad enough on its own, a number of academic publishers have recently started licensing academic works to AI companies for training LLMs without consulting the authors, making even more money. 5/ www.thebookseller.com/news/academi...

🚨 New Pub in Trauma, Violence & Abuse - We identified the associations between IPV and mental health outcomes among sexual minority men through a SRMA. Super proud of my student RAs - Yilin, Yuqing, and Sreelakshmi - for their invaluable contributions to this work 👉 doi.org/10.1177/1524...

Psychologists, Perspectives has been resurrected and is now accepting submissions again.

I’m old enough to remember the catastrophic toll of HIV/AIDS denial by South African President Thabo Mbeki, which led to >300,000 AIDS deaths. I never thought that 20 years later, an HIV/AIDS denialist would be tapped for the helm of health policy in the US. RFK Jr MUST be rejected #WorldAIDSDay

Every academic right now
