Children’s Hospital of Pennsylvania has indirect rate of 70%, but they probably didn’t want to list that atop Harvard because defunding a children’s hospital might be perceived as problematic. This is devastating

If you're an NSF PI like me, you might be wondering: Will my grant be suspended or terminated next week? A few key things to know: First off, remember that NSF is congressionally mandated to evaluate broader impacts. And laws like CHIPS and Science supersede EOs. But also... 🧵 thread

Apparently all the PhD researchers holding prestigious NSF-funded research fellowships are having their salaries withheld until some unspecified time when the leadership figures out how to eliminate any grant funding that doesn’t align with the president’s political ideology.

This is Phyllis Fong. I very much respect that she made them physically remove her from her office, which remains hers by right, because she hasn’t been legally terminated.

Ok #booksky, let’s talk. 👎🏼Goodreads, owned by Amazon, fuels its monopoly on books. 👍🏼StoryGraph, a Black woman-owned platform, offers an ethical, ad-free alternative with mood-based recommendations, user control over data, and a focus on inclusivity. Support diversity over corporate power!

This is a pretty good take for an admittedly unformed one. It’s also worth pointing out that the part of the stereotype threat theory that’s falling is NOT the idea that stereotypes are threatening. It’s that you can turn that on and off through subtle environmental cues

What is happening in Gaza is beyond evil. Since becoming a parent, the suffering of children feels so much more visceral, but you shouldn’t need that to be able to say this is wrong.

It’s interesting that we have discourse all the time on how LORs are the most biased sources for things like grad admissions, but they seem to be what’s mitigating the effects of bias in people’s subjective evaluations of objective metrics

Since my whole feed seems to be about it right now, I did the mandatory compliance training for Texas universities last month & there was nothing about allowable language. The SB17 portion also explicitly stated it only applies to DEI centers, nothing else. I’m teaching a REP class next semester 🤷‍♀️

Hi everyone. I'm a social psychologist by training but also dabble in developmental and health psychology. My work explores White people's willingness to confront their own racial biases, the consequences of this awareness (or lack thereof), and how they socialize their children about racism.
