Donate to @standupforscience.bsky.social! I know all too well from organizing the March for Science that mass mobilizations not only take a lot of time & work to organize, but also need a substantial amount of money. Every donation makes a huge difference in making these critical protests possible.

You can always tell the quality of a talk based on the percentage of your jokes that get laugh—wait that’s not a commonly used metric?

Grateful to be well caffeinated and hydrated at the LGBTIQ+ preconference for #SPSP2025 today! During a time in the US where trans and nonbinary folks are being actively attacked and attempted to be erased by our government, having this space and sharing this research feels like a protest 🩵🩷🤍🩷🩵

Still wondering how Indirect Funding (F&A) works, and why it's so important for research institutions? Check out this great video from the Association of American Universities: #standwithscience #standupforscience2025 @standupforscience.bsky.social 🧪 🤝 🧬 🐟🎸 🍎

Great explanation of how cutting indirect costs to universities will cause irreparable harm to scientific research in the U.S. Please share broadly with folks who may not get how these costs support the research that has brought us medical, scientific, economic, and social progress for decades.

New guest post! Excluding "careless" responses is a routine practice in many contexts. But if careless responding itself is an outcome of the variables of interest, that may actually cause trouble.

In the midst of the chaos and feeling like the world is burning down, what’s something that is bringing you joy? Mine are all these wonderful critters I’ve gotten to meet in recent weeks :-) Joy is its own protest—we can’t let them take that from us too.

Just a reminder that Germany was the center of scientific progress until the Nazis suppressed, drove away, or killed all the non-Nazi scientists.

Ukraine got into a war because Russia invaded them, demanding they give up independence. The only way for Ukraine to not go into war was bowing down to Putin and forfeiting freedom. As Clausewitz said, “The aggressor is always peace-loving… he would prefer to take over our country unopposed.”

BREAKING The Trump administration is maintaining a funding freeze at the National Institutes of Health (NIH) in defiance of two federal court orders. The ongoing freeze was confirmed by an NIH official and internal correspondence reviewed by Popular Information.

For my fellow self-critical perfectionists, a reflection from therapy today: “If you’re being led in what you do by the negative self-talk in your head, you’re running a race with no a finish line. Nothing you can do will ever meet its standards, so don’t let it be your guiding light.” Woof.

Staff at CDC are being asked to scrub data on trans and non-binary folks from datasets. Public health ethics hold us to the highest ethical, professional, and scientific standards. Deleting data about Americans is unethical. OPM has ZERO authority over CDC practices. Obey the law. 🇺🇸🏛️⚖️

Wondering if any of my followers have any examples of focus group studies where researchers may have run separate focus groups with clinical providers who work with a given population and then those who are actual members of that population? Could be any diagnosis/population, any focus group topic.

It's been interesting battling the guilt that I feel as I spend a lot of my time trying to make clear lectures / skill-building homework assignments for my MLM course. After years of doing only research, it's been quite the feat to overcome the "if it's not research, it's not productive" mindset.
