Job market folks: apply for a post-doc at the University of Lisbon! It's a 2-stage process; if interested contact my colleague David Yates (at [email protected]), with a brief description of your intended research and current CV by January 7. #philsky

We need integration of ethical and societal research upstream in the AI development, coordinated multisector funding, community leadership, and empirical rigor--not just theoretical debates about risks. The building blocks exist, but remain fragmented.

Call for Papers! 🧵 The Public's Science–A New Social Contract for American Research Policy a Special Issue of The ANNALS of the American Academy of Political and Social Science Editors: Alondra Nelson (IAS) and Jenny Reardon (UC, Santa Cruz) Abstract Deadline: Sept 19 www.ias.edu/stsv-lab/pub...

ASA is supporting efforts to recognize and reward community-engaged scholarship with its new toolkit. Four downloadable resources provide guidance to scholars, departments, & reviewers. https://bit.ly/4d9ncWQ

This is 10-12 tenure-track assistant professors’ salaries at many places. A whole academic program’s worth of money, pissed away, In Times of Austerity, on rent-a-cops going after students who dared speak. Nobody behind this should have a career.

And for those who want to contribute, you still can! This helps fund scholarships, guest lecturers, and operations/logistics! The RSS team is small, but so far, we are mighty! www.resistancesummerschool.com/donate

Also volunteer to do a teach in with @standupforscience.bsky.social to reach constituents.

Planning to apply for #research #funding from the ERC? From the next application rounds, expect changes to the: • proposal structure • evaluation process • extra funding you can request • eligibility for Starting & Consolidator #Grants (from 2027) More 👇 europa.eu/!RPHWvv

This is not a screenplay. For some, these will be life or death situations. For many, these natural disasters will yield devastating loss. We should have a FEMA ready, able and fully staffed to support the American public when it needs it most.

Please check in with your fed friends.

My ongoing request: If your NSF or NIH grant was terminated--whether at Harvard or elsewhere--please report it here. NSF: grant-watch.us/submit-nsf.h... NIH: grant-watch.us/submit-nih.h... Our trackers are actively used in lawsuits and are often the only record that terminations ever occurred.

In March, Sandra Harding died. With colleagues from (then) Women's Studies at Utrecht University, where Harding's work was pivotal in PhD training & where I had the pleasure to organize a PhD workshop, together with María Puig de Bellacasa, with Sandra, we wrote this piece. Honoring the pioneers.

Institutions and Associations: stand up with and for your PIs! #standupforscience #standupforknowledge @aaas.org @4sweb.bsky.social @aaup.bsky.social

This is unprecedented. The WH sometimes directs the NIH to study certain broad topics, such as cancer or women’s health, but the latest directive’s specificity, inflammatory language and focus on a hyper-polarizing topic are unusual, NIH employees told me.

UC Regents order end of diversity statements for UC hiring

currently listening to this; @alondra.bsky.social talking about how systems reflect values (arguably the extent to which they do is their overarching fitness function)

🚨 Are you a researcher who's been asked by your institution not to talk to the public/media about certain topics - esp after Jan 20? Are you a PIO who's had to tell scientists not to talk to the media? Reach out on Signal at mkozlov.01 for a @nature.com story. Your identity will be kept private.

From an NIH source re. grant terminations "These searches are pulling in things based on 'other support' sections and biosketches, so science may be held up just because someone mentions that they serve on a DEIA committee, or has a completely different grant that uses a 'problematic' word. (cont)

if you've had an NIH grant terminated, I want to hear about it. Signal: katherinejwu.12

Same here. Consult with your Office of Sponsored Projects, campus council, and Vice chancellors of research. Let them respond.

This is true for science too! Jay Bhattacharya is telling us exactly what he’s going to do to dismantle American science and academia. It is VITALLY IMPORTANT that scientists 🧪 learn to recognize that language. @mmasnick.bsky.social is right.

As the nation fights to keep science in the public domain and the production of knowledge moving forward, Stand Up For Science on Friday, March 7th at 12 noon. #StandUpForScience #UCSC #ScienceNotSilence

Silence often says everything.

At this point, it’s an assault on all knowledge production. Stand up on March 7th. #standupforscience2025 #scienceforall #sciencenotsilence
