How about that.

Who could've guessed joining a make-believe Resistance against an Evil Empire would ever happen in real life?

Federal funding plays a critical role in supporting life-saving research. In the recent APA Div56 newsletter, we outline how Trump policies place trauma research at risk and emphasize the importance of collective action. apatraumadivision.org/spring-2025-...

DOGE is assembling a sprawling domestic surveillance system—the likes of which we have never seen in the US. Trump could soon have the tools to satisfy his many grievances by swiftly locating compromising information about anyone he doesn't like. Our privacy laws aren't protecting us! Gift link.

We gotta get loud about this 🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬

Well this is just absolutely fucking disgusting.

Workers who track data on car crashes, drownings, traumatic brain injury, falls in the elderly, and other perils lost their jobs. Advocates worry life-saving work will stop.

Society for Research in Psychopathology folks, pls submit nominations for the Early Career Award by April 30th! No better time to do all we can to elevate our EC colleagues and recognize their research contributions

Jesus, this is bleak. Like, I appreciate that the data is being tracked? But whew.

Anyone looking to take an amazing clinical psych student who would come to grad school with an NSF GRFP in hand? Interests in stigma, adversity, but flexible! (Side note that it is awful that nsf doesn’t let you defer, apply next yr w/grant in hand, and just count that as 1 of 2 deferral yrs)

(1/5) Poster (and Faces of the Future talks) and Big Idea symposia submissions for #2025SPR are now open!

Today I lost an NIH grant training clinicians to do research about intimate partner violence with perinatal women. More women are murdered in the perinatal period than die of obstetric complications. I didn't just lose a grant. We lost an entire cohort of people building careers to prevent that.

Here’s a cheat sheet with all the phone numbers for the US Senate. I have a feeling we’ll be calling them a lot in the near future.

Public health is under attack in America. Maternal and child health is under attack in America. Health research is under attack in America. Ultimately it won't just cost us in advancements, it'll cost us lives.

Breaking news: Thousands of researchers and their supporters, including recently fired federal workers, have gathered across the U.S. in response to layoffs and funding cuts ordered by the Trump administration. scim.ag/41zlPv4

Rep. Jim Himes: Zelenskyy is watching 70,000 dead Ukrainians. Missiles are slamming into hospitals. This is what he’s seeing, and he comes to the Oval Office, and a reporter asks him why he’s not wearing a suit. And the effing VP wants him to say thank you…

Have heard of multiple groups getting these grant termination letters. Direct political interference with science. Absolutely unacceptable. 🧪

No other president? I can think of a few! And they stood up for America against enemies, not allies. Little Marco, let's see Trump stand up to Putin if you want to impress anyone.

"In other words, the Trump administration’s political leadership at HHS wanted funding to stay frozen, and that overruled any legal concerns." 🚒🚒🚒🚒

Upon learning that yesterday would be my last day as a program officer at the National Science Foundation, I shared this parting message with my colleagues. The next few months will be frenetic and stressful for them. Here are some things that you can do to help them with the mission ahead. (1)

Rep. Grothman (R-WI): President Trump has done some very good things Crowd: Booooo

A massive, self-inflicted wound on American higher education.

DOGE in practice: Disabled Army veteran who has 4 kids and did 3 tours overseas is fired from his job at Bronx VA hospital

I wrote an op-ed for voters in a red state about how devastating NIH indirect cuts are. This type of writing isn’t my comfort zone, but I think we as scientists need to get the word out. Happy to chat with others looking to do the same in their communities! www.tennessean.com/story/opinio...

that’s right.

I come from the right. It’s the cruelty. For the right, the cruelty is the point. The cruelty sells.

Stay strong my friends. Rest. Recharge. Dig deep. We need each other and the country needs us. I have no idea what's awaiting me, or what will happen when this all ends. For the moment I know this: there are sick people and they need curing. Albert Camus, The Plague

The Musk coup is at five alarm fire. I just received this text from a friend: @hcrichardson.bsky.social @briantylercohen.bsky.social @midastouchmedia.bsky.social @marcelias.bsky.social @billkristolbulwark.bsky.social @sethabramson.bsky.social #Musk # Coup

Among the ideas internally kicked around the Trump and Musk teams was the thought of planting younger informers or “spies” in different parts of the federal government to gain the trust of offices and teams suspected of anti-MAGA sentiments. More: www.rollingstone.com/politics/pol...
