Lilla Berlin är något på spåren

Who’s got two thumbs and a date scheduled for her PhD dissertation defense? (Hint: me!). Now to finish writing this thing…

academia is p weird because after working in a place for five+ years all your colleagues get in a room together to vote on whether you keep your job mine said yes yesterday :)

I am happy to pay $30 a year for USPS Prime, which delivers mail daily to my home

The decision by the Advisory Committee on Immunization Practices of the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention to downgrade its recommendations to protect infants from hepatitis B is a dangerous move that will harm children. Click here to read AAP's full statement: bit.ly/3Y9ZQJT

Just imagining how much better it would be if ALL news stories about vaccine-preventable illnesses were illustrated with pictures of people with the disease, not pictures of needle injections. If you must show something that people will find scary & unpleasant, make it the disease, not the cure.

Agnotology is everywhere I mean OF COURSE people’s decisions will be affected by climate risk. They should be.

There are no clothing machines. All garments are handmade. ALL of them. There is no T-shirt machine. Every $5 shirt I’ve ever purchased was sewn together by a human being who is an expert sewist. Just thought I’d mention that before tomorrow.

Homeland Security doesn’t grasp the fact that the first Thanksgiving was about making “room at the table” for European “invaders.”

NEW RESOURCE: The current administration took down many federal #EnvironmentalJustice & #ClimateJustice databases. Our new @stemteachingtool.bsky.social lifts up various efforts that have republished those vital data & visualization tools: ➡️ stemteachingtools.org/brief/106 #SciEd #TeachClimate

It’s widely known (and, I think, pretty uncontroversial) that learning requires effort — specifically, if you don’t have to work at getting the knowledge, it won’t stick. Even if an LLM could be trusted to give you correct information 100% of the time, it would be an inferior method of learning it.

Friends, please don’t pick up ByHeart baby formula for awhile. It’s apparently still on the shelves.

One of the patterns I've seen in my own research is that once parents make a decision about something (vaccines, breastfeeding, sleep training, screen time, etc.) they often stop looking for relevant news and information, because they don't want to have to question if their decision was wrong.

Don't do any of this.

I don't want AI generated art, I want AI emptied dishwasher

I'll never forget @stephenshapiro.bsky.social's land acknowledgment in Heidelberg, stating that the University is housed (in part) in buildings stolen from Jews. Obviously not the same thing, but seeing the form deployed in a new context reinforced its original function (at least for me).

Exciting news! Student applications for paleoCAMP 2026 are open! Are you a graduate student working on any aspect of past climates or environments? Apply to be part of our 2-week summer school in the eastern Sierra Nevada! More details here: paleoclimate.camp/apply

a massive loss for Indian history and culture. I grew up on these books, as did countless others in the diaspora; you can basically view Amar Chitra Katha as D'Aulaires for ancient Hindu mythology. such a loss www.bbc.com/news/article...

GRE prep costs hundreds of $ and time in studying, taking the GRE costs $, sending the GRE to schools costs $. It's a significant burden to applicants and might actually, according to these data, constrain who tries to get a PhD.

7yo: So Mama do you know what you want to do after you get fired at the end of the year? Me: I’m not getting fired, it’s called -graduating-

I've reposted people getting this, but here from me again: DO NOT FALL FOR THIS. These are accounts PRETENDING to be Bluesky Security. DO NOT CLICK ON ANY LINKS YOU GET SENT RANDOMLY. NEVER. NOT JUST IN THIS SITUATION.

if you are food insecure for both the humans and pets in your household there is a tool called Pet Help Finder that can help locate pet food banks nearby and other free or reduced price assistance and supplies for pets. no one, ABSOLUTELY NO ONE, should have to give up their pet bc of this.

Happy #AERA2026 decision day to all who celebrate! May your day be a happy one, either because of or despite your results! On a separate note, thanks again to all who submitted such excellent work and who worked hard to review for @aera-motsig.bsky.social —I see you and I GREATLY appreciate you! ❤️

#AERA2026 conference decisions just dropped! Looking forward to seeing folks in LA and sharing a slice from my dissertation on teachers' supported experiences designing relevant, localized storyline units! @aeraedresearch.bsky.social

The Hasidic Jewish Community Council of Williamsburg is endorsing @zohrankmamdani.bsky.social !!! Tell me again about the antisemitism hysteria, centrist mainstream US rabbis, tell me. Via Rabbi @abbystein.bsky.social

We have progressed from data collection to data analysis.

Daylight savings ends this weekend in the US...so watch out for DEER. Yes. REALLY. Deer. www.sciencenews.org/article/deer...

"Correlation is not cognition" as @olivia.science and @irisvanrooij.bsky.social says

Guess what? COVID mRNA vaccines don't just protect against COVID. COVID mRNA vaccines also cause cancers to become sensitive to immune checkpoint inhibitors (ICIs). buff.ly/GEfJ5Zl Let's fund more mRNA research! #medsky #oncsky 🛟😷🧪

Here's a handy graphic you can save and share if you're in the Bay Area

"No More Kings" www.youtube.com/watch?v=WvOZ...

Fascism is such a fundamental attack on wonder and the human imagination and I think everyone should have the opportunity to let their imagination wonder as it wanders — doesn’t matter what you do for a living. Your mind matters! Your relationship with the universe is meaningful!

I like to remind people about lifetime limits and the refusal of insurers to sell coverage to people with preexisting conditions. The ACA has issues. But those 2 things alone make it worth saving and fixing.

“Your job is not to turn in completed assignments; it's to learn how to think.”

I want to highlight this excellent piece by @noupside.bsky.social and @rachelkleinfeld.bsky.social on the rapidly shifting information & media landscape. Domain experts and the institutions that support them must rapidly change tactics to meet the moment.

Important reminder here that the US is not the only place where fossil fuel interests are pushing back hard against climate science and clean energy 👇

BBC decided to cancel a podcast on heat pumps deeming the topic "controversial" because it presented that the technology could contribute to net zero reducing carbon emmissions. In 2025 an anti-science posture is not only valid, but required in any debate to be considered "balanced" 😬

I think at this point it's trivially true to say that we— either in the sense of the creators and advocates, or as in this whole society— did not properly understand or prepare for the implications of the internet.

Just because I can survive harsh conditions doesn’t mean I should have to. Graphic: @standplaatskrk.pl

Accelerating collapse means accelerating harm to the most marginalized & vulnerable because the most powerful & comfortable are, definitionally, that. So disabled people, Black people, Indigenous people, Trans & otherwise LGBTQIA people will be the first and main ones harmed, & disproportionately so

Just in time for EAT Lancet 2.0 to provide that nuance based on science: eatforum.org/eat-lancet/

Nuance is needed. For example: The impact of beef, then pork, is much greater than other meats Not everyone eats the same amounts (see below). And we have to stop just wasting it! An estimated 40% of the food we create is wasted. SO many ways to improve our food system.
