Great episode. Oh, Kermit is still my favorite podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/t...

Good morning. Listen, you have to just decide. They are not taking the Black Smithsonian. Resolve it in your spirit.

Many thanks to Michael Roth & Wesleyan University for speaking up - we need more of this from our leaders!

re: PubMed being DOGE'd / censored - don't see any evidence of this. You can't compare e.g EuroPMC searches with PubMed ones directly (saw @franknorman.bsky.social point this out on LinkedIn). By default EuroPMC searches lots of indexes: if you specify PubMed the numbers are much closer

This hits particularly close to home

In this Indiana diner, everyone has three questions: How's the breaded tenderloin? Is the quarry hiring? And when will the feds finally put an end to congestion pricing in Manhattan?

I am so angry

I needed this today. As we all try to navigate the seemingly endless barrage of change, this is a reminder that we all have agency to make a positive difference whether we're leaders or not. Love all the practical tips! scholarlykitchen.sspnet.org/2025/02/11/d...

TROUBLE AT NU? Battered by potential financial cuts on both the state and federal levels, the University of Nebraska on Tuesday released a new study touting its value: a reported $6.4 billion economic impact last fiscal year. From Cindy Gonzalez:

Grim days. I hold such affection for UNMC & understand their deep concerns

Am I the only one who thinks we need better computer security controls if a group of bandits led by a public citizen can roll up & get all this data?

Breaking: Punxsutawney Phil sees the shadow of death and fall of an empire, so there will be 6 more weeks of winter and then groundhogs inherit the earth.

Breaking news: #CDC orders mass #retraction and #revision of submitted #research across all #science and #medicine #journals. Banned terms must be scrubbed. #MedicalEditors, please note. open.substack.com/pub/insideme...

I love this podcast, but especially this episode. It reminds me of my love for Nebraska podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/t...

Going to bed at 8 may become my new coping mechanism

I have no idea if it will help, but I do think shouting from the rooftops about the damage to science and research and cancer care and so on is a good idea. TV/podcast/etc people, I have now heard from quite a few people at NIH and NCI, and I’m around if you’re interested.

I think some people hear “grants” and think that without them, scientists and government workers just have less stuff to play with at work. But grants fund salaries for students, academics, researchers, and people who work in all areas of public service. “Pausing” grants means people don’t eat.

Um. Now is the time for all the great federal relations folks working for universities to call every staffer & donors call their representatives to ask WTH.

2024 really wasn’t great, but we did get Tracy Chapman singing Fast Car at the Grammys. Just listen to the way the cheering hits a whole other register you didn’t know was possible when the camera pans up to her smiling face…. m.youtube.com/watch?v=O_BT...

You’re the US Marines band at the White House and Mavis Staples 👑 walks into the room so you start playing "I’ll Take You There" and this happens👇

The dog. Second before this photo, her beard was full of snow. She didn’t want to come inside.

This is a great toolkit said from someone who had to deal with an incident

I love the way this is framed lil.law.harvard.edu/century-scal...

You know you are at a university’s main airport when a lot of people at the gate have posters for upcoming presentations

An excellent first episode from my colleagues about HSS data

I normally don’t veer into politics, but this is one of the better pieces on our current state. She nailed it with the bus analogy. www.damemagazine.com/2024/11/20/d...

This quote from Luiselli’s novel, Lost Children Archive, referring to Kerouac’s quote in the introduction to Frank’s The Americans had me thinking of jukebox nights & many dollar bills. I get it.

Local Natives. Last tour date. Last ever show with Kelcey. VIP tickets with sound check and Q&A. Amazing setlist. I danced for the first time I can remember at a show.

This gave me a flashback to early COVID days when I obsessively watched a bald eagle cam near Decorah, IA. I had an irrational fear the baby eagles would fall out of the nest. www.raptorresource.org/birdcams/dec... it is comforting to hear the sounds of birds in the background

Librarians are more than just information keepers—they’re multi-disciplinary experts! Whether it’s law, medicine, art, or engineering, librarians bring specialized knowledge to every field, making them invaluable resources in any setting. They're the hidden gems of every library! 💎 #TLSky

The best part about the new job is meeting amazing librarians. Getting out of my administrative bubble to meet, listen, and observe people working on cool things is inspiring

We strongly suggest that academic publishers and other platforms that host research rapidly implement a Share to Bluesky button for their articles. Here's how: docs.bsky.app/docs/advance... #AcademicSky #HigherEd #Altmetrics
