I’m convening a session at a planetary science conference this fall and people keep withdrawing their presentations. So far every one has been withdrawn because of lack of travel support. It’s all folks coming from the US. This administration is killing scientific disciplines in big ways and small

Nurses standing up and speaking out in Seattle at #nokings #nokingsseattle. We consistently rank as the most trusted profession. Because of that, we have a responsibility to speaking up for what is right when our patients and profession are threatened

"The local police arrived to prevent the community from protecting their neighbor from an unlawful kidnapping. They succeeded, and in the process arrested two of the people who tried to stop it." www.motherjones.com/politics/202...

The mods of r/ChangeMyView shared the sub was the subject of a study to test the persuasiveness of LLMs & that they didn't consent. There’s a lot that went wrong, so here’s a 🧵 unpacking it, along with some ideas for how to do research with online communities ethically. tinyurl.com/59tpt988

This is one of the worst violations of research ethics I've ever seen. Manipulating people in online communities using deception, without consent, is not "low risk" and, as evidenced by the discourse in this Reddit post, resulted in harm. Great thread from Sarah, and I have additional thoughts. 🧵

"testing hypotheses with a dataset that was used to generate those hypotheses will readily confirm any trends discovered within it" >> NO. There are good and bad ways of performing such inferences. We also wrote against this overgeneralization here.

RFK Jr. has me irritated for several reasons, but the premise that the sole purpose of life is to work (pay taxes) and date (procreate) demonstrates how people with disabilities are seen as defective in an extractive, exploitive, and capitalist society. #Eugenics #Ableism #Disabilism

My senator @booker.senate.gov is rising to meet this moment, refusing to let the Senate pretend things are normal. How about yours? If they're a Democrat, call them and ask them to join Booker in this stand. talkingpointsmemo.com/news/inside-...

Louisiana voters rejected all four of the proposed constitutional amendments, dealing a blow to Republican Governor Jeff Landry’s agenda. Way to show up, Louisiana! 🍿

I don't know how our safety-net hospitals are going to survive with cuts to Medicaid, their primary revenue stream. So many patients will suffer. #medsky

I think what we are seeing in Congress right now speaks volumes about why we need term limits. Too many of our elected senators and representatives are willing to harm Americans as long as they stay in power. Hats off to @algreen.house.gov for having the courage to speak out. I appreciate you, sir.

I'm happy to share a newly published paper in Nurse Editor and Author that offers a framework for AI disclosure in academic nursing. It is open-access. Feel free to share with your network and colleagues. #AcademicSky #NurseSky dx.doi.org/10.1111/nae2...

Pardon my rant for a bit. When violence against healthcare workers happens (it's been happening), institutions are quick to implement "stopgaps." These stopgaps usually entail workplace violence training.

I am so looking forward to our upcoming special issue in April regarding the transformation of nursing education amid the Anthropocene. This article provides a perspective that is far too often marginalized in Western ideology. Read today! You won't regret it. It's incredible ⏬ #AcademicSky

Censoring the language of science (the pursuit of Truth) to align better with a political ideology sure does seem like fascism. I think it’s on us, the academic/scientific community, to not yield Truth in pursuit of publication. 🧪 #AcademicSky #philsci insidemedicine.substack.com/p/breaking-n...

I have no idea why I woke up with anxiety and have been on edge all day for no particular reason. Or maybe 2025 so far has been rough, and now im uncertain about the rest of the year 😬😬

Told y’all to diversify your science dissemination tools. Wait until PubMed goes down… sk.sagepub.com/video/nursin...

The goal is to overwhelm us so we give up. Don't do that!

Google “NINR” and “health equity”

An interesting article related to active learning methods in distance learning. Like it or not, distance learning is here to stay. We just had to quickly switch to remote this week due to a major snowstorm event that still has the metro completely shuttered and the university too. #AcademicSky

Not looking to politicize what happened in New Orleans in any capacity, however the lead in the investigation is none other than the outstanding men and women of the FBI. The same organization that Kash Patel is nominated to lead and wants to abolish. Think about that for a moment.

As this terrorist attack unfolds, I want everyone to know that the city of New Orleans will not be deterred. We are resilient and will rebuild. Right now, we are unpacking the trauma and caring for those affected, but rest assured, we are still here, still thriving! #NewOrleans #NOLA

1/ Professors! Administrators! When have syllabi become these unwieldly and, at times, unreadable documents that often, after the first day, go unread? Then we complain when students don't read the syllabus, but come on; it's pages long! I tried to cut my down, but it's still about ten pages long. 🙄

Some arguments against embracing Bayesian methods in nursing science relate to the lack of priors necessary for a genuine Bayesian approach. This is why, as an editor, I review studies with small samples, especially if the researchers are using a new instrument to measure a construct. A 🧵

This is the best image I’ve seen to explain to the average person why trickle down economics doesn’t work.

3 community college bachelors program myths: 1) They duplicate existing academic programs & steal students from colleges 2) C.C.s lack quality & produce poor outcomes 3) Its easy for C.C. bachelor's programs to get approved" https://buff.ly/4gkAsYV #HigherEd @craeduca @ddbragg #AcademicSky

This is why we do not have free education and live able wages. We don’t have universal healthcare because they want us tied to jobs we cannot leave. They don’t want an educated, healthy, and empowered society. As long as we are exhausted, struggling and distracted we are easy to control and rob.

Probability isn’t a property of the world but a tool to navigate uncertainty conceived from subjective judgments and assumptions. #AcademicSky #NurseSky #PhilSky

When finishing their capstone presentation about how bias and racism harm Black people who are pregnant capable a student said, "Let's be the change they deserve" referring to health care professionals providing safe, unbiased, and dignified care. I felt that. "Let's be the change they deserve."
