Hey I’m on there! 🙌

My captain, my king

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)

This is the way.

Reposting for myself to find later

Very excited to share that our paper on Latino group identity is out! In this article @profdanielle.bsky.social and I discuss how for Puerto Ricans in the U.S. skin tone and racial identification impact feelings of group closeness to Latinos and Black linked fate. www.tandfonline.com/doi/full/10....

Worried for your friends in universities affected by cuts, closures, state interference, or other threats? Wish you could help, but don't know how? This free resource contains practical and reassuring advice for them. All you have to do is pass it on. theresearchcompanion.com/supporting-i...

Children’s Hospital of Pennsylvania has indirect rate of 70%, but they probably didn’t want to list that atop Harvard because defunding a children’s hospital might be perceived as problematic. This is devastating

If you're an NSF PI like me, you might be wondering: Will my grant be suspended or terminated next week? A few key things to know: First off, remember that NSF is **congressionally mandated** to evaluate broader impacts. And laws like CHIPS and Science supersede EOs. But also... 🧵 thread

Apparently all the PhD researchers holding prestigious NSF-funded research fellowships are having their salaries withheld until some unspecified time when the leadership figures out how to eliminate any grant funding that doesn’t align with the president’s political ideology.

Reposting so I can find this later

This is Phyllis Fong. I very much respect that she made them physically remove her from her office, which remains hers by right, because she hasn’t been legally terminated.

they changed the definition of child for literally one kind of medical care. fuck these ghouls to the deepest layer of hell

New work out in JEP:Gen with @erikakirgios.bsky.social and Edward Chang! How do historically marginalized job applicants respond to concrete, quantified diversity commitments in job ads? We conducted a large, preregistered field experiment to find out…

My paper exploring the relationship between group prototypicality and how it impacts how boundaries are defined, is officially online! 🧵👇

Wearing a mask in public indoors is better than any stupid fuckin icon or flag you add to your social media to show "what an ally" you are! Wear the mask, normalize that shit, contribute tangibly to the safety and wellness of your community!

Ok #booksky, let’s talk. 👎🏼Goodreads, owned by Amazon, fuels its monopoly on books. 👍🏼StoryGraph, a Black woman-owned platform, offers an ethical, ad-free alternative with mood-based recommendations, user control over data, and a focus on inclusivity. Support diversity over corporate power!

“It’s weird you felt comfortable saying that” is also a good one

I had the same realization a few weeks ago, and someone recommended the following code to disable copy/paste: community.qualtrics.com/custom-code-...

That has been a common theme in lines of research that have struggled to replicate. It was (and still is) a big part of social psych. I was literally taught in a social psych seminar in grad school that “strong effects from subtle manipulations” is a cornerstone of the field

This is a pretty good take for an admittedly unformed one. It’s also worth pointing out that the part of the stereotype threat theory that’s falling is NOT the idea that stereotypes are threatening. It’s that you can turn that on and off through subtle environmental cues

What is happening in Gaza is beyond evil. Since becoming a parent, the suffering of children feels so much more visceral, but you shouldn’t need that to be able to say this is wrong.

"We cannot talk about Covid in the past tense. It’s still with us, it still causes acute disease and long Covid, and it still kills." - Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus, World Health Organization (WHO) Director-General malaysia.news.yahoo.com/world-might-...

This looks *extremely* neat. Kristoffer consistently provides exceptionally useful tools and visualizations 🤩

Woohoo, our paper is live! This haiku summarizes it best: Raw model results? Stop! Hard to understand! Use {marginaleffects}

It’s interesting that we have discourse all the time on how LORs are the most biased sources for things like grad admissions, but they seem to be what’s mitigating the effects of bias in people’s subjective evaluations of objective metrics

Tressie McMillan Cottom, who I'm lucky to call friend, is doing the best work I've seen so far mapping the ecosystem that produced Nov. 5th results. This piece is but one of what will apparently be a few, but hits so many clear notes: www.nytimes.com/2024/11/21/o...

Interested in academic labor? Gotta read this whole absolutely 🔥 speech the VP of our faculty union, @uam-umd.bsky.social, gave today in front of USM Board of Regents & UMD President.

New publication alert! 🚨 My former graduate student (Dr. Naomi Isenberg) and I have a new paper in Scientific Reports about how Americans underestimate diversity support and that correcting this boosts inclusion. www.nature.com/articles/s41...

We Grow the World Together is a vital anthology exploring the intersections between caregiving and abolition. For every copy we sell on our website this month, we'll send a free copy through our Books Not Bars program to a reader who is currently incarcerated.

The Congresswoman from Delaware is a bad ass.

We conclude by noting that attitude change as a goal does little to change the social power dynamics in which racism thrives. It's based on the hope that racist speakers will refrain from such behavior out of the goodness of their heart. Norm-setting addresses power dynamics. 6/7

Excited to discover this today. Norm-setting: extremely cool!

Since my whole feed seems to be about it right now, I did the mandatory compliance training for Texas universities last month & there was nothing about allowable language. The SB17 portion also explicitly stated it only applies to DEI centers, nothing else. I’m teaching a REP class next semester 🤷‍♀️

For those interested, my department has a FULLY FUNDED Masters Program in Experimental Psychology. The deadline is February 1. Faculty support student interests in behavioral neuroscience, social, cognitive, clinical, and developmental psychology. wm.edu/as/psych-sci...

Hi everyone. I'm a social psychologist by training but also dabble in developmental and health psychology. My work explores White people's willingness to confront their own racial biases, the consequences of this awareness (or lack thereof), and how they socialize their children about racism.

If you want to know what is the primary determinant of people's views on the economy, & whether they think "inflation" is a problem, it's this chart on media use. More than any other factor you can think of. We tried them all. But it's not really about education. papers.ssrn.com/sol3/papers....

A lot of people have shared this poem over the past week. It’s a sentiment I think about a lot, especially now. I hope everyone is doing what they need to take care of themselves. One step at a time. One day at a time.

I put together this starter pack of sociologists (and adjacent scholars) who study race and ethnicity. If you would like to be added, just let me know in the replies! go.bsky.app/GbS4DAs
