great way to further the research on post-pandemic absenteeism... ask parents. also, i'd love to dig into the idea that we need to "challenge the belief that catching up is easy"

spreading the word that my dept ☀️🌴 is looking to hire a TT faculty with *undergraduate* teaching and research mentoring enthusiasm in Clincal / Counseling / Community Psyc ❤️ if you / a colleague / or a PhD student is looking 👀 ... consider applying: wd1.myworkdaysite.com/en-US/recrui...

Join us next week for a critical conversation about the state of health care in Silicon Valley. 🏥 🚑 Event details: 📆 Wednesday, Sept. 17 ⏰ 6 - 7:30 p.m. 📍 Isaac Newton Senter Auditorium, 70 W. Hedding St., San Jose 🔗 RSVP here: na2.hubs.ly/H0126160

please let this little pebble of good news ripple out on the pond

#SCOTUS decision today goes against the scientific evidence: family separation and the constant vigilance and threat of separation harms kids, families, and communities. SRCD stands by our Latinx communities. Read the evidence here: bit.ly/4mYVyQo

CTAN is outraged by the Trump Admin's attempt to forcibly remove dozens of immigrant kids over the holiday weekend.Read our statement and our partners' statements below: childrenthriveaction.org/2025/09/chil... @clasp.org

RFK Jr. says "the only way to restore trust in the agency is to make it trustworthy." You know what? We agree. To start restoring trust, we have to #ImpeachRFK.

My mother always told me that if I was feeling bad about myself, I should go help somebody. I’ll have to tell her about these findings.

ppl think that San Jose is the ❤️ of Silicon Valley, in the sense that all of us who live here are tech billionaires trying to AI-ify the world.. but actually, most of us San Joseans are just working Americans trying to make life. this is the ❤️ of the ❤️ of Silicon Valley:

thank you CDC staff ❤️ for your courage

this is why i will quit academia before anyone can make me be department chair...

love this action! and it was so quick (quack) and easy... thank you @standupforscience.bsky.social !

looking for reading recs for undergraduates on observational research methods in early childhood classrooms...

The University of California system is publicly mobilizing against federal attacks. That’s historic. It's time for ALL of us in US #highered to act. Join our movement at standtogetherhighered.org. #academicsky #highered #standtogether 🔗 universityofcalifornia.edu/get-involved/stand-up-for-uc

On top of everything else, I gotta deal with y’all solemnly saying “the cruelty is the point” over and over and over again. Like, girl, WE KNOW. Shut up.

anyone else an early education researcher, or parent, or human who lives in the SF Bay Area... want to throw up a little in your mouth at this grotesque story of extreme privilege and lack of care for vulnerable communities in your own f'ing backyard...

now when you see me vigorously walking and singing around campus, you'll know why...

now i will throw my laptop in the trash and go for a walk in the woods...

faculty in these states: stop scrolling and fill out this survey, pls

sigh, i know higher ed feels like a scary place to work right now, but my department is hiring a Clinical / Counseling / Community Psychologist (TT track), and if you or someone you know wants to work at a Jesuit school in the CA sunshine, check it out n share: wd1.myworkdaysite.com/en-US/recrui...

Our federal government is currently spending more money deporting childcare workers than fixing our broken, patchy childcare system. 19thnews.org/2025/07/chil...

🥳 UPDATE (good): NSF's website now says that, effective today, it's restoring these subset of terminated NSF awards. Applies to 114 NSF awards to 45 institutions that had U of California researchers as project leaders. www.nsf.gov/updates-on-p...

again. it's in our FIRST YEAR research methods curriculum. there's a big BIG difference between a "claim" and a "finding"

Although 500 new NSF GRFPs were added in June, the total number of fellowships in 2025 remains ~500 fewer than in 2024. Some fields—like CS and Physics—still saw net increases in total awards. But others, including Life Sciences & Psychology, have taken hits of 50% or more compared to last year.

It's true and it's the law but we still need to fight against any anticipatory obedience and over compliance. If you are faculty in Texas join @texasaaup.bsky.social and if you are faculty anywhere join @aaup.bsky.social

i can't believe i have been doing this as long as i have, and still sometimes there's a reviewer that makes me want to quit my whole career and just walk into the woods and cry.

Jay, please stop gaslighting early career researchers.

if you're not going to graduation tomorrow.. there are, umm, other community events going on... sccdp.org/index.php/20...

I signed the Open letter in support of the Bethesda Declaration. As did this list of very notable people 🤩 (and so many more). Please consider signing too. Scientist and public signatures welcome. A Call to Deliver on Promises of Academic Freedom and Scientific Excellence

we're all in here friends... just think, while you are working so hard to prove to your Dean that your citation count is high enough to warrant a 0.3% salary increase, Meta is just making free $$$ off your work. cool, cool.

Happy #PrideMonth! 🏳️‍🌈

if a student turned in this slop, we'd be having a serious conversation in my office. is this the plan to ruin the credibility of american health sciences? fully shatter the public's trust? i'm so sick of this administration playing around like toddlers (no offense, toddlers) with people's lives.

Major update to #SCIMaP visualization of impacts of cuts to federally supported health research. Map now includes information on future economic losses (impact of proposed reduction of NIH IDC to 15%) and current economic losses (impact of terminated NIH grants). scienceimpacts.org

🧪 Attention those with terminated grants, including for NSF, NASA, EPA, NIH, etc: Let Congress know about the impact of terminations via this form: democrats-science.house.gov/grantcancela... Only Dem staff on the House Science Committee will have access (unless if you explicitly state otherwise).

every week it's part of my work to advise undergraduate STEM students on their grad school and career paths.. these used to be joyful conversations. now, they are full of anxiety and questions about "alternative options" 💔

A pride of lions is a nice metaphor for how to respond to the attacks by the current admin on science, education, public service, and reality. Remind ourselves we are part of a group and then work together. This is part of why we must go to protests. www.nytimes.com/2025/05/27/o...

"at that very same conference that I learned critical thinking takes up 20 percent, sometimes 30 percent, of company time. It’s clear to me that some of you are not focused on the profit potential of outsourcing all of our thinking" 💯A+ as always @mcsweeneys.net www.mcsweeneys.net/articles/a-c...

Hi! Do you want to rip your face off over the constant attacks on science in the US? Here are some actions you can take! They require varying amounts of time, repetitiveness, and sticking your neck out, so hopefully you can find something in here that’s right for you: 🧪 #scicomm

i know y'all on bluesky already know this.. but in class this week i'm talking about data visualization, and so all my students are going to have to look long and hard at this: www.nytimes.com/interactive/...

🚨 A new rule would let career scientists like NSF/NIH program officers be replaced by political appointees Already 14,000+ public comments, deadline is Friday 📣 Comments can be short. Courts consider them—and scientists with NSF/NIH experience are especially impactful Speak up! shorturl.at/WKuBj

Imagine if you had to pour the right amount water into a little tube in your computer and then ride a stationary bike long enough to produce sufficient energy for Chat GPT to respond to your prompt...we live in a world stripped of feedback and it shows.

If a foreign adversary snuck into our Federal budget and cut science research and education the way we’re cutting it ourselves — strategically undermining America’s long-term health, wealth, and security — we would likely consider it an act of war.

back last night from my 25th college reunion at Penn.. weird time right now. hard to know how to feel about our beloved alma mater 💔 everyone nervously milling about joking if don jr would show up (course not), while also telling sad stories about defunded grad students. hurah hurah pennsylvania?

This is either interesting scientific research or the start of one incredible heist

"Women are PIs on 58% of the canceled grants, although they are PIs on only 34% of all active NSF grants. Similarly, Blacks are PIs on 17% of the terminated grants, although they make only 4% of the total pool. Hispanic PIs and those with disabilities were twice as likely to lose a grant."

oh sigh, just thinking how much groundbreaking early childhood research you could fund with a $400 million luxury jet. or how many early childhood teachers' salaries... or how many children's healthy breakfasts... or how many, many picturebooks we could buy... 😠
