The question isn’t whether people like my daughter have something to offer. It’s whether society is finally ready to stop measuring value with the wrong scale. Autism doesn’t destroy families. Ignorance does. Isolation does. Shame does.

For decades the NIH has led a public health campaign credited with saving thousands of babies from dying in their sleep. The administration's cuts come as sleep-related infant deaths have been rising.

Clancy Blair was a brilliant and thoughtful scholar who brought out the best in everyone around him. I will remember Clancy as a generous, enthusiastic, and inspiring mentor who has forever shaped the way I think. I am so thankful to have worked with him. He will be greatly missed

Brilliant scholar, but more importantly one of the nicest humans in academia. I am so grateful to have been his colleague - Clancy was instrumental to my success at NYU. He was genuinely excited to chat about new ideas and never missed an opportunity to provide support. He will be missed greatly

No matter how many times I go through this process, it still takes me hours to submit a paper every time

Fab coverage by @spoke32.bsky.social for @science.org of our recent paper on Magdalenian children's drawings at Las Monedas. Led by the awesome @izzywisher.bsky.social we use x-cultural dev psych to inform how early-age drawing reflects embodied cognition across ontogeny!

In academia, you can be informally barred from teaching and service duties because you are a known sexual harasser, and yet be paid a full salary and still complain about being censored. Oh and that teaching and service typically gets covered by faculty of color

My partner and I moved cities in August and neither of our alma maters has tracked down our new address for fundraising yet. We know it’s coming but we don’t know when👀
