here is the @cossa.bsky.social action guide for saving SBE TASK: folks whose Congresspeople are on the appropriations committee or on the science and technology committee,1000% reach out to them cossa.org/action-cente...

elite-tier (pun intended) descriptive research for the win

Social science GRFPs over the last few years #polisky: in 2026: 114 awards, 4 honorable mentions (!!!!!) in 2025: 69 awards, 113 honorable mentions in 2024: 126 awards, 82 honorable mentions

Separately but relatedly: various funders have pulled out of funding various anti-corruption groups in the US. Would 1000% be worth big money machine go brrrrr toward folks that have been putting in the work on these issues for decades

ATproto is different from every other platform because while other social media companies force you to sign a lease that traps your in that apartment for the rest of your life, ATproto is more like a month-to-month lease that allows you malleability to move 😉

and neither can the private sector & private foundations For social science: *63 percent* of all social and behavioral science research in the United States is funded by the NSF through the social, behavioral, and economic sciences directorate.

ACTION ITEMS #polisky: (1) Tell Congress to Save NSF's SBE Directorate (2) Consortium of Social Science Assns (COSSA) Town Halls: us06web.zoom.us/meeting/regi... (3) COSSA Alerts and APSA’s Advocacy Newsletter members.apsanet.org/Sign-In?retu... (4) Write to Congress cossa.org/action-cente...

#polisky share far and wide: @apsa.bsky.social Statement on the Proposed Elimination of the Social, Behavioral, and Economic Sciences Directorate at the National Science Foundation apsanet.org/wp-content/u...

#polisky this is a five alarm fire 🚨🚨🚨🚨🚨

like i cannot understate that major sources of social science research funding for PhD candidates are just - gone over the last few years, much less NSF support - ford /national academy of sciences fellowships - ssrc international dissertation fellowships - USIP dissertation fellowships (?)

#polisky the absolute decimation of the social sciences cc @professormusgrave.bsky.social @mcopelov.bsky.social

chat i'm going to ask a somewhat prickly question: what do you (fellow political scientists) want out of your professional association right now (knowing that this is a sample of Very Online People and folks with wildly differing opinions)

in the following post: (4) awards made in the social, behavioral, and economic sciences directorate

need crowdsourcing help #polisky - if your department is not admitting PhD students this cycle, please respond with the department i already know my department, GW, is not admitting students

ngl this is probably the most useful thing I've made thus far, a comprehensive feed equivalent of paper-picnic.com

I’ll say it again: THE TYRANNY OF OBSERVATIONAL EQUIVALENCE Folks who have genuine data as to which of these option(s) is operating, please share

omg the original post, not as the printout version (for ease of reading)

the analogy I use with friends and family all the time is the jump from collegiate to professional sports. as soon as I explain it that way, it clicks in their brains what the academic job market is like.

FYI: law and science, political science, and sociology all still have DDRIG programs run outside of the NSF but funded by NSF. The rest of these programs unfortunately do not. I run the political science DDRIG.

again, understanding the government as the information collector of last resort brings a lot of other political economy issues into sharp relief
