Worried about losing access to US federal data that may go off-line, or already is? You’re not alone—but duplication isn’t the answer. Many ongoing efforts have already archived key datasets and many more are ongoing. Check out these existing resources and, if you can, support their work. 🧵

My very first conference presentation, a little over 20 years ago, took place at a meeting that was de-funded by Congress DURING THE MEETING. The research group I was part of not only didn't stop working but was subsequently funded by NIH. All this recent chaos is smoke. All hat and no cattle.

If you’re in the US and you’d like to know what projects and vital services federal grants currently fund in your state, you can search here: www.usaspending.gov And you can find the contact information for your elected representatives here: www.usa.gov/elected-offi... They need to hear from you.

Devastating for scientists and their research, and everyone who benefits from that research. I’m not sure if everyone outside academia is aware that a delay or “pause” in grant funding often means the researchers themselves are lost from the field, along with their expertise.

I was glad to be invited as a discussant for a Baylor GI grand rounds talk on DGBIs and behavioral interventions for these conditions. For anyone eager for a deeper dive into the theoretical basis for these treatments, I suggest starting with the vast empirical literature on fear learning.

Writing is thinking. It’s not a part of the process that can be skipped; it’s the entire point.

If you're the smartest guy in the room and also an unrepentant tormentor, then guess which quality people are going to remember most? Compare this legacy to those of scientists who gave significant critiques of their fields, yet managed to do so without abusing and exploiting others.
