100 years ago today, 19 May 1925, Malcolm X was born. Through his many travels, he forged a radical vision of #PanAfricanism and internationalism, linking Black struggles in the US to anti-colonial movements across #Africa and the Global South. 📸 #MalcolmX in Nkrumah’s Ghana, 1964. #MalcolmX100

Just finished reading "Inside Your Brain" by the brilliant @lucyannunwin.bsky.social - that rare sort of children's book that manages to be informative and fun to read. A great introduction to the history of brain science for children.

Good thing there’s pressure from engineering departments to cut out humanities/writing courses from core curricula because students definitely won’t need to have multiple skill sets

Rachel Reeves' own local Labour party unanimously votes to oppose her disability benefit cuts. 30-0 vote shows growing rebellion within Labour ranks as they plan to write directly to her. The pressure mounts from inside & outside. www.theguardian.com/politics/202...

There is a false dichotomy drawn between "the ivory tower" and "the real world," and I'm here to report that in a post-industrial society, your real-world economy absolutely hinges on the university. University towns are factory towns. Universities drive economic activity, not the other way around.

Updated this piece about how the Trump admin removed images of women and persons of color from websites. The good news is that the webpage about a NASA employee overcoming adversity was restored after she posted about it. The bad news? NASA then fired her. donmoynihan.substack.com/p/whitewashi...

NSF just cancelled ALL grants to Harvard researchers. That’s right - physics, astronomy, bio, CAREER - ALL. Professors won’t get paid. Postdocs won’t get paid. PhD students won’t get paid. This is insane! If they can do this to Harvard, they can do this to your school.

This is obviously sinister but I find it beyond irritating that people react like this is unthinkable for the UK. Have we not been paying attention to recent sentencing about what makes you a woman? Do you think the UK is inherently special and different/better from any other place?

A good example here of how helpful it can be for understanding, if someone occasionally stops and asks “Wait: is all this stuff everyone has been agreeing about and repeating for years actually true”

At yesterday’s University of Michigan Regents meeting, I was promoted to full professor, effective July 1. 🎆 Full professor is the highest rank in US academia. 26% of faculty are full. Among those, 4% are Black; 2% BW. Started my PhD 20 years ago this fall. What a journey! A fantastic voyage.

In short, Starmer has taken a massive hit among Labour voters, for no gain elsewhere, while boosting Farage's popularity, including doubling his ceiling among Labour voters. I.e., the political scientists were right, Morgan McSweeney was horrendously wrong.

Politics, not just in Britain, really feels like it has come down to "who would you rather was giving you a good kicking", rather than "who will stop you from being kicked".

“These are the actions of the worst type of rogue employer.” @drjogrady.bsky.social The University of Greenwich wants to axe up to 319 staff, a quarter of its workforce. Students lose. Staff lose. Only the VC wins (pay up from £299k → £374k). #UCU #Stopthecuts www.ucu.org.uk/article/1401...
