Getting Started

The federal government’s initiative against science is as perplexing as it is ridiculous. I just found out about this list of NSF grants compiled by Cruz et al. His quote about scientific integrity is particularly confusing. Like, that’s what the studies are based on… (?)

As a new sociologist that read and listened to a good bit of Burawoy during grad school, I am saddened by his passing. As a retired paramedic, I know that ambulance crew tried like hell to help him. Rest in peace, Professor…and thank you.

I don’t think the federal government realizes that there are sociologists out there like me, who are incredibly petty and will make it a mission to circumvent these ridiculous lists in order to research these “banned” topics.

Since the freeze/unfreeze/whatever-that-was last week, I’m wondering if these uncertainties w/ federal grants & other funding is going to result in an unintentional shift into private sector education & industry jobs, in the hope of preserving intellectual integrity in scientific research.

I’m interested to see if programs like PEPFAR are going to be picked up by WHO nations, so care disruption is at a minimum. #globalhealth #HIV

A very smart colleague just pointed out the grim truth that the U.S. leaving the WHO may ultimately be a win for the rest of the world. Why? Because without a vote, “the US can't block WHO actions like vaccine programs, disease surveillance, contraception, etc”. Man, that is daaaark, but accurate.

I hope to get some quality publications from both my dissertation and from projects I have started here at UNC. Many works in progress. This report gives me some hope and motivation!
