Can any Toronto angels help us get Jean to the game??

Ok Californians living overseas…go to votefromabroad.org and get that FPCA in. You’ve got an election coming up! @demsabroad.bsky.social

He has kept among us in times of peace Standing Armies without the Consent of our legislatures. He has affected to render the Military independent of and superior to the Civil power. He has combined with others to subject us to a jurisdiction foreign to our constitution & unacknowledged by our laws.

It's true rabbits have a low carbon paw-print, but there are also more sustainable options for dog food and treats.🧵 with some we've tried, all approved by my (admittedly not picky) husky

Our department at the University of Toronto is hiring an assistant professor of sociology of race / ethnicity this fall. I'm not on the hiring committee but am very happy to talk to you about the position if you are interested. You can email, DM, or find me at ASA. jobs.utoronto.ca/job/Toronto-...

We're hiring! Please share with your networks! Note: our research associates have a few years of experience - we're most excited about truly excellent scholars who are also known for being kind.

The brilliant @sarahbrayne.bsky.social's analysis of system avoidance (journals.sagepub.com/doi/10.1177/...) is going to be even more important in the near term than it already is.

This is good for flow, right?

A warning to people with Academia.edu accounts (as most academics do): if you don't know it yet, they've turned into AI shills. As well as this "podcast", they've also tried to sell me AI-compiled bibliographies. You can go to settings and opt out easily, and I recommend you do.

Vaccination schedules on the CDC website have already started changing under RFK Jr. So we published a guide to the evidence-based vaccine recommendations in place *before* all 17 members of the advisory panel were abruptly dismissed by the new admin. www.scientificamerican.com/article/see-... 🧪

Racial bias exists in five-star ratings for gig workers, study shows. A thumbs up/thumbs down scale would fix that says an article from The Globe & Mail on research by @decelles.bsky.social and colleagues in @nature.com www.theglobeandmail.com/business/car...

Thanks for the reminder @janemunday.bsky.social. Every summer, I repost this article DROWNING DOES NOT LOOK LIKE DROWNING. To date, I know of FOUR kids who were saved after someone who'd clicked on the link learnt how to spot actual drowning. Take time to read and pass on. slate.com/technology/2...

An introductory course makes people think they know more about a subject than they do. pubsonline.informs.org/doi/abs/10.1...

I just like to post these data from time to time to puncture the mythological aura of mid 20th c protests. They were less popular than pretty much any 21st c mass action & people criticizing them used the same lines. Protest is about people coming together, shaping narratives, & building power.

I’ve never forgotten this picture from 2016 and how it completely reshaped my understanding of how the media covers protests.

Very smart, high ROI initiative from the Spencer Foundation. Providing bridge funding for canceled NSF grants: 1) directs funds to projects already screened by a top-noch review process. 2) avoids imposing proposal prep costs on researchers. 3) ameliorates the disruption from GOP sabotage.

When two elephants fight, it is the grass that gets trampled. No reason, just thinking today about this proverb from East Africa (Kikuyu, I believe)

Not my uni but for Orgs & Mgt students, Queens offers a PhD in Management. And I hear Kingston is lovely

My Canadian university, Queen's, is offering TWENTY 4-year funded PhDs (40k CAD/yr) for a student of ANY citizenship who has been accepted at a top 100 US university but have had offer rescinded OR are reconsidering offer due to US policy. Details found here👇 www.queensu.ca/grad-postdoc...

“Heaven without people is not worth going to.” Our 7-year study of 52 Syrian families shows most remain separated by policy, not by choice. And when resettlement rules exclude kin, the cost is isolation, debt + desperation. Check out our article & full special issue here: doi.org/10.1080/0141...

FYI: The Spencer Foundation, Kapor Foundation, The William T. Grant Foundation, and the Alfred P. Sloan Foundation have collaborated to offer $25K rapid response grants. "This rapid response bridge funding opportunity is for scholars and teams whose grants have recently been cancelled by NSF."

It’s Canadian Independent Bookstore Day! What are your favorite local bookstores?

We are excited to welcome Roselle Martino ( @torontorbot.bsky.social ) to our May 13th #symposium to discuss the economic impact of pandemics & health emergencies. With Paul Grootendorst, Geoff Anderson, & Audrey Laporte for a panel discussion moderated by András Tilcsik.

What an incredibly good idea! At UNC alone PhD students come from hundreds of hometowns across the nation. If you're a scientist help your home community see the value of your work & the importance of supporting the next generation of scientists by bring it home to them. Happy to share an example RT

ORGANIZE. Write one letter. Put it on a Google doc, view only. Create a Google form so you can control trolls, etc— ask for name, graduation year, and email (the last not to be published, make that clear.) Email a bunch of college buddies to be initial signatories so the letter + cot’d

Canada, deadpan: We’ve met.

Yeah, good luck with that.

I just learned that the entire press team at the FDA was fired last week. The *entire* press team. It's difficult to grasp how bizarre this is. To wrap my brain around the idea, I made a list of things the FDA is responsible for, and that reporters now have no one at the agency to ask about... 🧪🛟

Today is the 5 year anniversary to when I slowly started losing my mind during the pandemic and began dressing up as works of art. As my Twitter account has long been abandoned, why not make a thread of my madness on BlueSky? This was “The Maid” by Wilhelm August Lebrecht Amberg, from 1862
