Experimental evidence that students are more likely to contest grades when they are delivered by an evaluator with a female-sounding name. "These findings suggest that women in evaluative positions face disproportionate resistance when delivering negative assessments."

"Even after accounting for the upfront costs and delayed benefits, enrolling marginal applicants to public universities generates substantial net returns for society, the marginal students themselves, and the government budget." Public Universities FTW!

It’s holly-jolly ominous.

In Georgia, the state has made "catastrophic" cuts at DHS, citing an $85 million deficit. A provider described one result: a mom who relapsed last week. "Visits with her child were keeping her sober, but transportation services had been cut." Georgia is sitting on a $14.6 *billion* budget surplus.

One thing I love is obsolete technology being encoded in our language. Words like “footage” and “rewind” and “dial (as a phone)” that literally describe a physicality that doesn’t exist anymore, yet lingers linguistically. Anybody have any other examples?

Susie Wiles told NYT she didn't call Elon Musk "an avowed ketamine" in one of her ELEVEN interviews with Vanity Fair. "That’s ridiculous. I wouldn’t have said it and I wouldn’t know." Vanity Fair: Cool here's a recording of you saying that. www.huffpost.com/entry/brown-...

fMRI signals “up,” but neural metabolism might be going “down.” In our @natneuro.nature.com paper, we demonstrate that about 40% of voxels with robust BOLD responses exhibit opposite oxygen metabolism, revealing two distinct hemodynamic modes. rdcu.be/eUPO8 funds @erc.europa.eu #neuroskyence 🧵:

Great thread with solid science that examines the importance of naturally occurring nutrients in the environment driving species success

It's a 'mix tape', not mixed tape. ;-)

MINNEAPOLIS: “All I did was step outside as a Somali American citizen, and I got chased by a masked person, assaulted, kidnapped. It was inhumane. If this is what’s happening to a 🇺🇸 citizen on camera, imagine what could happen to your loved ones.”

It’s just a transaction to him. I would not be surprised if there was some back deal investment or pay off.

Sad that this is where we are but I’ve also seen a number of quality science students opting to pursue other career paths.

It’s becoming increasingly clear that the best thing a parent can do for their son is to enroll him in co-ed activities and facilitate friendships with girls from the youngest age possible. Patriarchy hurts boys. And nothing runs counter to patriarchy like teaching boys to genuinely value girls.

If the president doesn’t know who he is pardoning, perhaps he is not fit Would be nice for the media to inquire

I don't see how Tesla's Model 3 can survive if Benz can offer an alternative EV this cheap, with this kind of performance, on top of the 15% tariff that it's charged in the US. Imagine what this model does to Tesla in Europe, where Benz pays no tariffs.

Hang onto these pictures because Hegseth will have the offending sign removed as soon as he sobers up today.

This is bonkers. Awards will now be made independent of peer review decisions? Determinations will be made by who precisely? A political commissar (politruk)?

Science PSA: Never abbreviate “analysis” as “anal”. Ever.

short sighted at best....NHP research has been instrumental in the development of new treatments for human conditions (as well as other animals conditions/diseases as well).

"The Coast Guard will no longer classify the swastika as a hate symbol. "Instead, the Coast Guard will classify the Nazi insignia as 'potentially divisive' under its new guidelines. "The new policy similarly downgrades the definition of nooses and the Confederate flag." Free link wapo.st/3Mbd9a6

A last-minute addition slipped into the sweeping legislation that reopened the federal government last week to end the longest shutdown in US history has thrown the multibillion-dollar CBD market into disarray. https://cnn.it/4895MY8

Sad on so many levels … but inspiring that other countries are stepping up

when your most important ally doesn't trust you, maybe you should rethink some of your actions and behaviors.

And now, an important announcement from Captain Jean Luc Picard.

and there it is. the absolutely massive change in R01s funded multi-year. our perceptions that the new mandate, sorry strong suggestion, has had a dramatic effect on forward funding and therefore success rates is validated.
