The Trump administration is kicking 150,000 Illinoisans off of SNAP on May 1. He's ripping away help from Illinoisans as the cost of their groceries, gas, and utilities continues to rise. Make sure to check your status at abe.illinois.gov.

My last MPA as a grad student was a success! I'm honored to receive the Graduate Student Paper Award and am proud of my undergrad for presenting her first poster (Happy to chat if you missed them!). I love what I do and can't wait to continue my journey as assistant professor ✨️ #2026MPA #MPA2026

This should be an impeachable offense. I understand that we’re way past any of that, but that shouldn’t stop us from naming it.

1/n I'm really excited to share this (open access) paper in which we introduce SCORES (Semantic Clustering of Open Responses via Embedding Similarity) - a user-friendly tool to analyze (short) open-response data. journals.sagepub.com/doi/full/10.... With the magical @bpaassen.bsky.social.

Yesterday, those who teach Intro to Sociology at Florida colleges (as opposed to universities) received a ready-made curriculum from the state and were ordered to teach it. Yes, you read that correctly. The *state* is enforcing a curriculum on college profs, complete w/ the following restrictions:

I am so excited to share that I will join the Department of Psychology at Indiana State University as an assistant professor this fall! The past 5 years at Miami University flew by. It is a dream come true to work at a wonderful institution like ISU. I'm excited to continue to grow as a professor!

Over on threads someone just use ai;dr and we all need to adopt that right quick

A desperate plea sent to me by a Minneapolis resident who's been on the front lines since the beginning of the ICE occupation:

Some anti-vaxeers think polio isn’t a big deal. In the US 1950s, it caused ~20,000 cases of paralysis per year. Iron lungs, crutches, and braces were everyday sites. The Trump administration wants us back in the 1950s. We can’t forget what that means. www.theatlantic.com/health/2026/...

🧵1/4 New paper alert! psycnet.apa.org/record/2026-... Can you celebrate diversity while undermining it? Our new paper in American Psychologist discusses how people/organizations can appear committed to diversity while their conceptualizations of diversity actively undercut it.

On this MLK Day, let’s remember that Dr. King believed in America not as it is, but as it could be. Hope is not passive—it’s a commitment to keep bending the arc toward justice. The promise of America is still ours to fulfill.

I mean yeah it’s an authoritarian takeover but can we take some comfort in the fact that the people doing it are INSANELY stupid?

What a world to go to bed thinking about one mass shooting and wake up to news of another, a targeted hate crime, at a Hanukkah celebration in Sydney. And also in the video where an actual hero, Ahmed al Ahmed chooses not to kill one of the terrorists.

A horrific attack. No one should be killed because of their religion, identity,culture or nationality. No one at all should fear violence like this. And Ahmed Al Ahmed’s act of courage can be seen by all on video…a man without a gun saving others from men with guns.

This is what he says when doesn’t care about the people who died

Heartbreaking. The University of Nebraska will terminate its entire Earth science department. One of the country's most successful and respected geology & climate programs: gone. When ideologues & politicians are threatened by the very act of studying climate change, I wonder: who of us is next?

Today I and everyday I am: Grateful for Vaccines Grateful for Science Grateful for Public Health Workers Grateful for Doctors Grateful for Nurses Grateful for Scientists Grateful for everyone whose job has been a little harder to do especially this year, yet who keep showing up. #Thanksgiving

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.

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)!

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.
