University of Colorado Boulder Psychology & Neuroscience is searching for TWO tenure track assistant professors!! jobs.colorado.edu/jobs/JobDeta... #socialpsychology #cogpsyc #PsychSciSky #PsychJob #psycjobs #psychology 1/n

Harvard makes it impossible to figure out where an egregious tenure denial ends and a slow death of a Women’s, Gender, and Sexuality program begins, and sowing confusion might be the point

One stark marker of how much our society has devolved in just a few years is Bob Iger personally got on a call to convince us to let Disney/HULU make the 1619 Project. That America no longer exists.

Well, there it is. Sinclair is digging in for a fight, so please help push back -- find stations in your area, watch their local news to see what ads they run, then write those advertisers to tell them you're boycotting as long as they're on a Sinclair station. List here: sbgi.net/tv-stations/

Hellloooooo, journalists! Covering the Mon announcement abt #autism? CHECK OUT the last 3 @thinkingautism.com newsletters for background on the loooong trail of grift in mitochondria-autism industry, starting w/a man who co-authored entire study abt his own daughter w/o disclosing the relationship.🧵

Here's a gofundme to help out Josh Bregy, who recently was fired from his tenure-track job at Clemson

Of all the stupid things that this regime has done, this is right up near the top. Postdoctoral researchers come to the US on H-1B visas. This will further destroy the US science enterprise. Stupid stupid stupid.

This lead us to the Director of the Office of Management and Budget #RussellVought, a deeply disturbed man, who seeks to bring down the state to pursue his vision of a Christian theocracy. #Science, #knowledge, #expertise only get in the way for Russ. 13/

During the first Trump Administration you had many people who while you could disagree with their politics, had the requisite skills and experience do to their jobs. Trump 2.0 is wildly different. 12/

The chair of the #ACIP is a #COVID-contrarian, Martin Kulldorff, as are others on the committee (i.e., Robert Malone). COVID-contrarians also have hands on the lever of vaccine policy at #FDA (i.e., Vinay Prasad, Tracy Beth Hoeg), at #NIH (i.e., Jay Bhattacharya). 1/

I’m hearing a lot of despair and “what’s the point”-ing. Here’s the point: ONE less person kidnapped by ICE. ONE more child vaccinated. ONE grant reinstated. ONE more PEPFAR treatment. ONE more meal to a hungry kid. ONE more person covered by Medicaid. One life is ALWAYS worth resistance.

"The impoundment of funds that the US Congress designated for support of science and medical research endangers US investments in people, projects and health advances." New, short correspondence with @malar0ne.bsky.social, @asinclair.bsky.social & @jeremymberg.bsky.social: 🎁 rdcu.be/eGCOe

This is what David Brooks meant when he said a conservative had texted him that Kirk was their George Floyd. They didn't mean that Kirk was a victim of a profound injustice. In the conservative mind, Floyd was used as a symbolic pretext to reorient society. They want to use Kirk that way.

Thousands of X users have posted about Ali Nasrati, a 30 yr old IT tech for Walmart, claiming he made insensitive comments abt Charlie Kirk. But Nasrati has never posted about Kirk. Now, he's been suspended from work and forced into hiding. I wrote about people being falsely targeted by the right

"Everything has gotten worse and nothing has gotten better when it comes to U.S. doctoral admissions or the likely experience of a five- to seven-year commitment during the Trump administration...Sometimes, there are lost generations; this will be one of those times." 💔

I am not a political pawn. I am a living, breathing human being who has dedicated her life to a scientific problem that I believe matters for human health. The article below tells our story; I hope you will read it and share it www.nytimes.com/2025/09/14/m...

A deep dive into the destruction of US cancer research by @jonathanmahler.bsky.social “It’s an absolutely unmitigated disaster,” a former top official at NIH told him. “It will take decades to recover from this, if we ever do.” Gift link: nyti.ms/48iH3Cr

1. What does a Cold War-era game theory problem known as the silent duel have to do with high-risk research strategies, publication in Cell/Nature/Science glamor journals, and the academic job market? Kevin Gross and I tackle these questions in our latest arXiv preprint: arxiv.org/abs/2509.06718

💙New paper!💙 How is knowledge transmitted across generations in a foraging society? With @danielredhead.bsky.social we found: In BaYaka foragers, long-term skills pass in smaller, sparser networks, while short-term food info circulates broadly & reciprocally academic.oup.com/pnasnexus/ar...

"“We’ve become a party that too often trims its sails. Too cautious, too rudderless. Too attached to poll-washed, pundit-rinsed, and donor-dried messages,” he said. “What comes out of the wash is all bleached and blow-dried.”

I know everyone is consumed with other news, but this is a big fucking deal: The Trump administration says that IUDs and the Pill are actually abortions. Here's what USAID told the NYT about the $10m in birth control they plan to destroy. www.nytimes.com/2025/09/11/h...

We can be morally outraged by an assassination and at the same time acknowledge that Charlie Kirk’s racism and misogyny were immoral. Whitewashing his behavior and beliefs betrays the collective by masking how we got to this place in America.

“This is the only story of mine whose moral I know. I don’t think it’s a marvelous moral; I simply happen to know what it is: We are what we pretend to be, so we must be careful about what we pretend to be.” ― Kurt Vonnegut, Mother Night

I am beyond excited to announce that ggplot2 4.0.0 has just landed on CRAN. It's not every day we have a new major #ggplot2 release but it is a fitting 18 year birthday present for the package. Get an overview of the release in this blog post and be on the lookout for more in-depth posts #rstats

I know Charlie Kirk valued debate and free speech because he blocked me for fact-checking his lies on Twitter and then put me on his organization's Professor Watchlist for writing a book he didn't like.

Interested in joining our lab (dunnlab.org) as a postdoc to work on siphonophores, processes that structure diversity in the open ocean, or natural history? If so, please reach out to discuss a nomination for the Donnelley Postdoctoral Fellowship - yibs.yale.edu/donnelley-fe...

The ecology and evolution of bacterial immune systems'. #phage #phagesky A bunch of interesting reviews royalsocietypublishing.org/doi/10.1098/...

rarely have I more acutely felt the dynamic by which Dems are held responsible for the rhetoric of every random left-leaning person on the internet and Republicans are not even asked to answer for their own personal words

We have a bit of a natural experiment here. Compare the tone, quantity and duration of Charlie Kirk coverage with that of the two Dem lawmakers gunned down in their homes in Minnesota 6 months ago. May be revealing.

This astonishing feat has been dismissed across the political spectrum Some are upset about things the administration did/did not do Warp speed still delivered and deserves recognition Others applaud things the administration did/did not do Warp speed still delivered and deserves recognition

"In case it is not clear to everyone, a multi-year funded R01 doesn’t allow the PI to increase the burn rate by hiring more people at the front end... The PI only gets the proposed first year budget amount to spend in the first year." Net effect: R01 funding rates go down & projects/jobs at stake.

Please do not forget that some scientists were cozying up to Epstein long long long after his horrific behavior was known. Five of them are featured in the Birthday Book. Gerry Edelman. Murray Gellman. Steve Kosslyn. Martin Nowak. Lee Smolin. See docs: oversight.house.gov/release/over...

Kavanaugh doubles down on (& misapplies) the most shameful standing decision in the Court’s modern history, Los Angeles vs. Lyons (1983). In Lyons a Black man who was victim of a chokehold by LAPD sought to enjoin its use. SCOTUS said no standing b/c….how do you know it will happen to you again?
