AFGE Local 3403 President Jesus Soriano joined Rep. Zoe Lofgren and AFGE National President Everett Kelley to highlight the damage being done to NSF by the Trump Administration and discuss a letter sent to Congresswomen Lofgren signed by 150 NSF employees #SaveNSF #SaveScience #FundNSF

The National Science Foundation continues to be threatened with major cuts. The link below lists the Congresspeople who are on the frontlines of deciding these cuts this week and would be well worth a quick call today if they’re in your state to advocate for not cutting NSF’s budget.

Are you from one of these states? Then we need your help to save American science! The Senate Appropriations Committee will be marking up the President's Budget Request for science on Wednesday. People have been saying the proposed cuts "decimated" US science, but that's wrong: they are apocalyptic

New 2 year post-doc position on cultural adaptation in complex environmental management.

The Spencer Foundation is offering rapid response bridge funding for those who lost NSF research grants. www.spencer.org/grant_types/...

Notably, this helpful list of action items for scientists implies that the primary audience will probably not be found on BlueSky.

#WithoutNSF ‘s support I would not have been able to teach >8000 undergraduate students in my 25+ year career as a biology professor. No grants, no job, no promotions.

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)

If only the evolutionary social sciences had more Margo Wilsons. Lovely piece from Daniel Nettle on how her work is "a particularly successful example of how you can bring evolutionary understanding to social science topics and be genuinely constructive; rather than just irritating people"

My alma mater continues to lead.

@russellsagefdn.bsky.social has established a #dissertation #funding program, including in areas related to #behavior and #decisionmaking. Check it out. #GetFunded www.russellsage.org/research/dis...

Starter pack for evolutionary behavioral science! I know I am missing many ppl working in this area. Please add yourself and your colleagues! go.bsky.app/Rt4Kh26

My team's latest, "Sharpening causal reasoning in applied ethnographic research" #causality doi.org/10.1080/0018...

Anyone interested in taking a 2-day online workshop with me? An introduction to multilevel models! (will be taught in R/RStudio). Register here: Registration link: umd-cilvr.catalog.instructure.com/courses/mult...

A publication’s “what” should count more than its “where”: why we should waive journal titles. A great story about how the long term impact of research led to Adrian Barnett's parents getting a new boiler in chilly Belfast. sfdora.org/2024/11/10/a...

(This starter pack will no doubt expand as more people migrate to Bluesky.) go.bsky.app/KVUQFms

It's been 12 hours so maybe everyone has moved on, but I created a graph with the all the missing lines. Visually, you could say White men without college degrees were ahead of 10 groups in 1980 (5th place out of 16), and only 7 groups by 2022 (9th place).

Unambiguously the best part of this job is hanging out with smart people like the attendees of this socioecology workshop.

Might be a good time to remind folks of the Project 2025 plan to eliminate NOAA. Madness

SocArXiv seeks volunteer moderators! Screen research papers in social science, arts, humanities, and law. Volunteers generally spend 1-2 hours per week after initial training, plus a low-volume group chat. Any professional level welcome, multiple languages especially encouraged. [email protected]

Progress in science involves corrections to the record. Great work led by Maria Creighton re-evaluating the link between female sociality and infant survival in baboons. www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1...

For mentors of smart and ambitious undergraduate students who are looking to publish their research, the Cambridge Journal of Human Behaviour could be worth a look. cjhumanbehaviour.com/about/

Exam copies of Cambridge's new textbook, Human Behavioral Ecology, can be requested by instructors who are considering the volume for use in their classes. Copies can be requested by following the link on this page: www.cambridge.org/us/universit...

For a two-year position, the Santa Fe Institute is hiring a postdoctoral scholar with expertise in statistical modeling and social network analysis to advance analysis and publications from the first wave of cross-cultural data from the ENDOW project: www.santafe.edu/about/jobs/a...

Cambridge is glad to remind everyone that this edited volume, Human Behavioral Ecology, will be available in February. While summarizing the state of the field, it also looks ahead to rising cohorts of early-career behavioral ecologists and the insights that await. www.cambridge.org/core/books/h...
