Zohran flip your hair again we need healthcare get him to give us healthcare.

If someone told me this were AI, I would believe it, because, wut?!

I'm back! In this experiment we had 39 participants choose between 8 different PhD programs which varied in terms of region, application materials, prestige, and fees. Importantly, two of the programs had a GRE requirement and two were equivalent but did not:

The thing is journalists should constantly be thinking deeply and carefully about their word choices, especially dehumanizing language, and questioning why they use what they use and who benefits from it. The arrogance from the reporter is frankly embarrassing.

Dismantling the Institutional Review Board (IRB), that oversees all human subjects research, is bad. Really bad.

If you can't be bothered to read, why are trying to be a scientist. Baffling...

Dear American citizens, whatever you wish more German citizens would have done in 1933, do that now.

Yesterday was the first day of school for my last year as a student at Miami University. As I'm working on job apps, it hasn't quite hit me yet. It has been a wonderful experience, and I know I will miss this place when it's time to leave. Luckily, learning will continue even after I graduate 🌈

I am sounding the alarm on the real crisis we face today. Donald Trump’s overreach is what our founders warned against – it is unprecedented, unwarranted, and un-American. There’s no emergency here that calls for military intervention.

Love how much y’all use this assignment. Keep on keeping on!

Apply to the awesome DRRC postdoc position at Kellogg. Open to any scholar who studies conflict and cooperation, very broadly construed. We’ve had some amazing people come through over the years. Note the earlier application deadline this year (Nov 1)!

As always, Ted Chiang is great in this interview. cdh.princeton.edu/blog/2025/08...

The duration of long heatwaves increases at an accelerating rate with warming such that a large increase in the risk of long-lasting heatwaves results from relatively modest warming, according to an analysis in Nature Geoscience. go.nature.com/44WkxMB 🧪

Stunning. May was brutal for Trump in federal court: 96% loss rate ⚖️. Even GOP-appointed judges have ruled against the admin 72% of the time. District courts are doing their job defending the Constitution. Soon the Supreme Court may be the only court unwilling to defend the rule of law.

“Unfortunately, right now, it looks like the polluters won.” Experts say that the mass of scientists being forced out of the EPA will slow down any future regulation of chemicals.

Just a reminder that most of Trump's executive orders are nothing more than press releases. After he ordered the Corporation for Public Broadcasting to pull funding for NPR and PBS, the CPB responded that it is authorized and funded by Congress and is not subject to the president's authority.

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."

Contact your Representative and Senators & urge them to support investments in NSF and NIH. The Administration’s proposed cuts to these vital agencies will harm #science and hinder our prosperity, health, and well-being. www.psychologicalscience.org/act-now

Re-posting this for anyone who needs the info. You matter to me. The world needs you.

🔥👏 Great to see the scientific community standing firm against this admin’s lunacy. The Lancet, one of the world’s top medical journals, calls for RFK Jr. to resign for supporting harmful budget cuts to NIH, CDC, and FDA, and promoting anti-science views. www.thelancet.com/journals/lan...

A colleague at Stanford’s business school used The Stanford Daily to argue—poorly—against DEI. The piece was riddled with historical errors and left one searching for fact, so I broke my public writing hiatus to respond. I hope you’ll read and share the piece. stanforddaily.com/2025/04/22/w...

one hundred percent. the time to act is *now*

Pope Francis showed the world how to lead with empathy and humility. Extending a hand to help anyone in need, "the People's Pope" inspired millions who drew strength and compassion from him to embrace peace. May his memory be a blessing.

Beautiful. Like an anxiety dream in which your idol tells you that you suck, but real and directed at one of the world’s worst people

This Tufts student was grabbed off the street, cuffed and taken out of state solely because she co-wrote a completely respectful oped in the student paper. And Rubio’s State Dept now admits they have nothing more damning than that. Gift link wapo.st/4j8d5Uh

Tomorrow afternoon at #MPA2025, I’ll be giving a talk on my recent research examining the social consequences of (un)successfully sharing guilty pleasures with close others. If you’re attending MPA, I hope to see you there!

Always a blast at #MPA2025 #MPA25! I had the pleasure of presenting work I conducted with @jasonfolmsbee.bsky.social and our advisor Dr. Heather Claypool. Of course, I forgot to post *before* I presented, but reach out if you would like to know about how jargon impacts belonging and engagement!

This is the literal destruction of knowledge. Mississippi libraries are being ordered to remove academic research on race and gender from library databases. mississippitoday.org/2025/04/08/m...

In less than one week, many Americans will no longer be able to apply for Social Security benefits over the phone, setting the stage for disruptions and upheaval. Nearly 6 million seniors live more than 46.6 miles, roundtrip, from a field office, per a new analysis. trib.al/5XSPqyL

The Supreme Court has temporarily blocked a lower-court order that would have forced the Trump administration to rehire 16,000 probationary federal workers who were fired. This marks another legal win for the administration in its series of executive order challenges.

Sign of the day…Chicago

Holy shit, this exchange between @dgorenstein.bsky.social and @julierovner.bsky.social on this week's episode of Tradeoffs captured my feelings over the past month+ so, so well. (Also having known her for years, I can hear it in Julie's voice, too.) tradeoffs.org/2025/04/03/m...

Other, more serious countries have actual constitutional courts

Thank you Senator Cory Booker. This guy truly cares about the people he represents.

🧵Yesterday, I received notice that my #NIH grant, on the social environment, lifecourse, epigenetics & #birthoutcomes in Black families, was terminated. This grant represented a critical effort to address the ⬆️ rates of maternal & infant mortality in the US, particularly among Black mothers & babies

We've been tracking unlawful NIH grant terminations for 3 weeks. Spread the word👇! Fellow PIs: what can you do upon termination? ✅ Email PO + document questions ✅ Submit FOIA ✅ Advocate to your OCG/OSP for appeal + litigation ✅ Consider outside litigation ✅ Donate to state AGs + legal orgs 1/🧵

1/x My NIH grant that would collect data to help *prevent suicidal thoughts and behaviors* among LGBTQ+ people was terminated today, along with many other LGBTQ+ focused grants. These terminations make no sense scientifically. Here's why:

A researcher just lost their grant funding because their work might help understand why people are hesitant about vaccines.
