Wanted to share a handy little resource with you all (especially those in dev psych) — my lab & I made a "journal submission cheat sheet" that summarizes article types, word limits, & other requirements for the journals we typically submit to. Link below 👇🏼 docs.google.com/spreadsheets...

Spencer Foundation joins Kapor Foundation, the William T. Grant Foundation, and the Alfred P. Sloan Foundation to launch a rapid response bridge funding program (up to $25,000) for education scholars impacted by the abrupt grant cancellations by the National Science Foundation (NSF)! #AcademicSky

I am so heartened to this seriously AWESOME #SaveNSF website go up today!!!! Has a take action toolkit with: 1. Press outreach templates 2. Social media toolkit 3. Elected official outreach 4. Talking points Check it out and share widely!!!! Likely more to come. www.savensf.com

In the past month 4 trainees in my lab lost: NIH diversity supplement, MARC, & STEP-Up funding. NSF SBE meeting (incl. ECRs) indefinitely postponed. Pipeline cuts disproportionately affect underrepresented scholars. Individual lives & our collective future impacted. #ScienceMatters

Kristina Olson and I have a truly incredible advisee who won an NSF but had no luck on clinical psych PhD applications this round. Anyone able to consider another candidate this late in the process? Trust me, you won't regret it!

Early childhood is incredibly important for child development, and Head Start is incredibly important for supporting a very large number of young children and their families.

Scientists & faculty of the Columbia Irving Medical Center spoke out today on Trump’s ongoing assault on Columbia & all higher learning in America & how cuts in vital scientific research will harm the health of ALL Americans. Listen to Dr. Delivette Castor, Professor of Medicine & Epidemiology.

This article mentions protests today at 4 pm in Harvard Square and 6 pm at Somerville City Hall www.cambridgeday.com/2025/03/26/t...

Let’s be clear: If the government can arrest, detain, and disappear peaceful protestors, none of us are free. That’s not law and order. It’s fascism. And we should all be outraged that this is being done in our name.

Disappeared Tufts Human Dev. PhD student Rumesya Ozturk is also a graduate of Teachers College - she’s a dev. psychologist studying children’s media & prosocial development. She also bakes without recipes and binge-watches cartoons. She is our colleague & she was abducted on the street w/ our tax $.

I’m hiring a full-time lab tech for two years starting May/June. Strong coding skills required, ML a plus. Our research on the human brain uses fMRI, ANNs, intracranial recording, and behavior. A great stepping stone to grad school. Apply here: careers.peopleclick.com/careerscp/cl... ......

The crush of new grant cancellations hasn't let up. If your grant was terminated (or your app was pulled) please use this Google Form👇 to submit details for tracking purposes. Multiple advocacy efforts are moving forward, but we must must must know more about what grants were cancelled and why.

Over 200 academics across the country, and across fields, have signed on so far. The full letter and current list of signatories (updated periodically) can now be found here: docs.google.com/document/d/1...

I recently spoke at a Congressional briefing with a military veteran from our PTSD clinical trial on the life-changing impact of the NIH Brain Initiative. Watch here👇 braininitiative.nih.gov/news-events/... The BRAIN Initiative is now facing a 20% cut on top of the 40% last yr…

The platform I run, Children Helping Science, is supported almost entirely by US government science funding, both directly and in collaboration with CHS researchers. Here's the note we sent to users today - we need help gathering your stories and citations! Submit here: forms.gle/zFnzrVURntdZ...

My annual psych internship rant, now with even more 🔥. The pre-PhD internship is an outdated model that devalues the expertise psych students bring. Now, we may be requiring students to move to unsafe cities and unstable positions, during a stage when healthcare and reproductive rights are critical.

Last year, I was overjoyed to receive an NIH NRSA fellowship to study toddler brains and caregiving effects on memory at Columbia. Last night, my grant was terminated.

In the midst of … everything, I’m increasingly convinced of the importance of care. It was a pleasure to think through what this means, why it matters — ideas now out in a special issue edited by @alisongopnik.bsky.social, @mlevi.bsky.social, and Zack Ugolnik 🧵 www.amacad.org/daedalus/soc...

I think it's worth repeating plainly that a federal judge halted Musk's federal funding freeze nearly two weeks ago but funds are still very much being frozen in violation of the court order.

Don’t let them pull the wool over your eyes and call the CFPB “woke and weaponized.” The CFPB fights overdraft and junk fees, goes after lenders that target servicemembers with predatory loans, and has returned $20 billion to Americans. This is a giveaway to scammers & crooks.

Absolutely. Also, if your state is on this list, call your AG office and thank them, and tell them how proud you were to see your state's office on the list. TL;DR call your AG either way

If you are a NIH funded researcher and your state is not on this list, you need to be calling your AG office

Does anyone know if there are any class action lawsuits about diversity F and K grants being pulled? We would like to join.

Executive wants to frame the NIH indirects cut as $4B in savings. But given that NIH returns $2.5 on every $1 investment, this would actually cost US economy a net $6 BILLION (per year!). Not to mention the human costs of wrecking education and research sectors and the communities they serve.

1. Today the NIH director issued a new directive slashing overhead rates to 15%. I want to provide some context on what that means and why it matters. grants.nih.gov/grants/guide...

If you have a job offer that you want at a university take it now. Widespread hiring freezes are likely.

My first post here AND a new preprint! @divyangana.bsky.social and I review how cognitive stimulation shapes neurocognitive development, tools to measure cognitive stimulation (including how to choose the best one for your purposes) and our thoughts on the future of this work osf.io/preprints/ps...
