NYT: One estimate finds that DOGE’s “firings, re-hirings, lost productivity and paid leave of thousands of workers” will actually COST taxpayers “upward of $135 billion this fiscal year.” @nytimes.com 🤡 www.nytimes.com/2025/04/24/u...

I presented at #AERA2025 today about our new framework for open education research emphasizing social justice. Here’s an example of a study using the framework about students paying to access homework

Research ethics boards have banned using private gmail accounts to communicate with research participants. Even for minimal risk studies like solving math problems with different kinds of visual supports. But whatever for national security I guess

It’s the first day of spring and I woke up to 25 years of sobriety. Recovery is possible 🌺 #odaat

I called my member of congress to ask who enforces IDEA now that the Office of Civil Rights in the US Department of Education has been closed. The protocol for complaints is still described online as through the OCR. This is not efficiency. This is dereliction of duty. www.ed.gov/laws-and-pol...

Happy Mario Day to all who celebrate 🎉

A reminder for these times.

Ramadan Mubarak! May this blessed month bring divine blessings to all who celebrate. Wishing you a time filled with hope, happiness, and peace.

The People's Union USA, a grassroots group, is calling on Americans to join a national boycott by not shopping for 24 hours on Friday.

Oliver Darcy has some very good points here

I just found out about this copycat journal scam after one of my mentees nearly wired money to them after their article was “accepted.” They even had a peer review process! New approach to predatory publishing. #academia Copycat journal scam youtube.com/shorts/gn1Xs...

Some sound advice:

Donald Trump replacing a black four-star general with a white three-star general as Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff is everything MAGA claims they hate about DEI: giving a less qualified person the job based on their race, not their resume.

I received the 2024 VPAA Karleen Home Rosaaen Faculty Award for Excellence in Academic Advising at the Founders Day Banquet this evening at UND 💚 💚 💚

So much for local control…

NEW: The USDA acknowledged that over the weekend, it accidentally fired "several" agency employees who are working on the federal government's response to the H5N1 avian flu outbreak. The agency adds it is trying to quickly reverse the firings.

Some don’t even realize they’re actually eating all the faces.

Very impressed by these dedicated protestors out in -20 air temp in Bismarck today! #nodak

Lobbying for public education in North Dakota! #PublicEducationMatters

ATTENTION (PLEASE SHARE) If anyone has or knows of any positions that might be appropriate for the NIH staff members who were terminated, please post the information in this thread. There are lots of talented and accomplished people who may be looking for new opportunities.

The Trump/Musk administration won’t allow the USDA to hold a Girl Scout event about dairy that’s been planned for months 🤬🤬🤬🤬

Roses are red But sometimes they're pink Making your work open access without having to pay an APC is much easier than you might think Learn about rights retention here: www.abdn.ac.uk/library/open... and then have a Happy Valentine's Day!

Cutting IES will "...weaken the foremost truth squad in American education, the chief sponsor and funder of rigorous analysis, reliable data, and clear-eyed evaluations in a realm that needs more of those things, not less" fordhaminstitute.org/national/com...

17 states are suing HHS and asking that Section 504 be held unconstitutional. If you live in one of these states, and if you care about accommodations in schools, hospitals, etc., for people with disabilities, please call your Attorney General. dredf.org/protect-504/

I wish there was a way to quantify the collective amount of work lost due to stress and despair over the last few weeks, independent of barriers to funding.

Support Girl Scouts! It’s an amazing organization inclusive for all girls. 1. Ordering cookies for yourself 2. Ordering cookies for first responders (heroes on the horizon) 3. Ordering cookies for us to take to a food pantry 4. Direct donations digitalcookie.girlscouts.org/scout/alexia...

The Trump Administration's list of censored scientific terms that get NSF grant proposals flagged contains "women” and “female”, but no mention of “men” or “male.” There is “black” and “indigenous” on this list, but no “white.” The only identity not censored is mine. youtu.be/dHXbpj1Z3UU
