Ugh, this is the worst. Opportunities lost that can not easily be regained. And REUs are specifically designed to identify & support the next generation of scientists coming from under-resourced environments, where they might otherwise be missed.

The ANES is a critically important resource for all of us; especially grad students, early career faculty, and those who can't fund opinion data collection. It's a benchmark. A learning tool. The evidentiary basis of countless studies. I owe so, so much to the ANES. We cannot lose it.

It feels like a lot of pressure to choose what to say in my very first post, but I think this is the most important thing I can offer this morning: www.propublica.org/article/misc...

In print 🙂. I think it’s crucial for political neuroscience to speak to poli sci lit and shed light on how politics works (rather than just the brain). That’s why I’m very proud of this one by myself and Ingrid! @jepsjournal.bsky.social was great, btw. Superb editorial process from start to finish.

This kind of $4 billion cut would mean cuts research to understand how the public evaluates democracy, mapping the universe, developing news drugs to combat infectious disease all to support a company that has done little but blow up a lot of rockets.

Poland has been so much better on Russia and the Ukraine war than Germany, it's not even close. In general, it's been remarkable to see many Western European countries dither, while Eastern European countries that were occupied or menaced by the Soviet Union going "oh no, never again, no way."

Bluesky academics, lets get to know each other! Quote this & tell me: 1) a project you are working on & 2) an odd idea/theory you aren’t working on but keep thinking about 1) how does sleep intersect with politics? 2) does person-first language humanize and could it help with polarization?

Want to give a good scientific talk? TELL A GOOD STORY. don’t show the audience every result, don’t give us one slide on every paper you’ve ever published. If I want to read your resume, I will. Teach me something, tell me a story.

Hi everyone! Happy to have found so many academics on BlueSky. I am sharing my first solo pub that came out last month in PRQ. In this paper, I examine the relationship between threat and Latino identity in CA during the 1990s. journals.sagepub.com/doi/full/10....

Cutting NIH funding is not just an attack on science. It's an attack on scientists. As I discuss in my book, RFK Jr. speaks the same anti-intellectual language as Trump. He sees govt. sci. as "sock puppets." That's why he'd replace 600 experts w/political loyalists. www.npr.org/2024/11/12/n...

I’m feeling energized after attending the launch of the Kellner Center for Neurogenomics, Behavior, and Society yesterday. It’s exactly the kind of interdisciplinary space that we need to bring together life scientists, social scientists, and practitioners. kellnercenter.illinois.edu

Hi academics! Today's a great day to email the authors of a piece you have read and liked to tell them. Assigning a work in class? Tell the authors! Citing something bc it is smart and good? Tell the authors! Just liked something you read? Tell the authors!!

Drawbacks of being an interdisciplinary scholar -your home discipline thinks you're fringe, no use for u -you don't quite fit in any discipline. Benefits -more intellectually satisfying to not silo oneself -you get put in a lot of different starter packs -you meet many more interesting academics

The starter pack I was searching for but couldn't find. Great for scholars, journalists, and anyone looking for research-based takes on current events. Please reply to this message or DM if you want me to add you, or anyone else, to the list 😊 go.bsky.app/315MyLR

If you're unhappy and unsettled by Trump's election, don't quit. That's just what they want you to do. But that doesn't mean you have to do everything the same. Your media and social media habits, for example. Here's what I'm doing to stay sane, and set myself up to handle what's to come.

A lot of what NIH does is fund basic research into public health that is not profitable for pharmaceutical companies to do. This is what you get with someone who does not believe in research.

Remembering today the sacrifices made by both veterans and civilians to protect and maintain the democracies of which I’m a citizen. Those sacrifices fighting tyrants, totalitarians, and fascists secured our rights. We owe it to them not to let those sacrifices be in vain. Keep up the fight.
