Being a skeptic scientifically is a good thing. That means you look at the data with a critical eye and make determinations based on the best available evidence once it has held up to scrutiny. It does not mean doubting the evidence and taking an oppositional stance because of that.

Great article with lots of perspectives from scientists who are scared to speak out — and other scientists who are scared of what will happen if they don't. Trump & Musk & Kennedy are devastating U.S. research and setting progress back decades www.science.org/content/arti... on @science.org

Happy Mother’s Day to the feisty science moms out there. You’re brilliant! You balance and manage SO MUCH. You bring excellence, creativity, innovation, and humanity to the world. If I hadn’t seen others having families AND doing science, I wouldn’t have realized I could do it, too. Thank you ❤️

The cuts "would kill the much-anticipated Nancy Grace Roman Space Telescope, an observatory seen as on par with [Hubble & JWST] that is already fully assembled and on budget for a launch in two years." Would also apparently close NASA's Goddard Space Flight Center. Huge, HUGE loss for science.

Science does not work like this. The only way you can set a timeline is if you have rigged the results in advance.

Last week we received the devastating news that Hannah Cole's F31 grant was terminated due to the focus on improving alcohol treatment efficacy for gender diverse folks. Hannah is an outstanding student & and this outcome is deeply unjust. Her letter to our TN senator is below:

In case you ever felt the need to obtain a p value from a confidence interval: www.bmj.com/content/343/... And in case you're wondering: I just used this on a manuscript and of course it came out at something like p = .038, lol.

My occasional reminder to folks on tenure and promotion committees that there will be a cohort of people whose early careers were defined entirely by the pandemic and waves vaguely this nonsense, and it will impact their productivity. It can't not.

So disappointing to have an article rejected after 7 months waiting for 1st round of reviews, with only 1 review given, and then to have the primary reason for rejection be lack of fit with the journal. Editors, if you don't think the article is a fit, please desk reject and save us all time!
