Screaming at these people works. They’re fundamentally wimps, we just have to actually DO the screaming instead of preemptively admitting defeat. I am talking about my fellow Americans, not the Democrats. We actually need to scream, gang, not just complain that Schumer isn’t.

It appears some of those terminated SEVIS records are being reactivated (even without pending litigation), if you work with international students you may want to check any records that have been terminated on your campus.

Here is what I want to say to people using AI for everyday tasks Not “you are terrible for using it” But your own words, your own way, is enough. Your own emails are fine. There is no real rush. The rush is manufactured.

Book and Dagger is fantastic! It's about how unlikely scholars, including historians, and librarians were critical to winning WWII. The last chapter talks about the longer-term impacts. Basically, the work they did in the OSS relates to the creation of area studies. bookshop.org/p/books/book...

The Trump DOJ canceled grants for gun violence prevention, opioid addiction treatment, and victim advocacy—because saving lives doesn’t “align” with their priorities. These are the same folks claiming to make our streets safer.

This feels existential for US science: To get any future medical research funding, an entire university would need to certify that it won't have programs doing DEIA work (e.g. note-takers for blind students, veteran's support, women's resource groups, etc.) No institution could ever comply.

🙏 We need your help 🙏 The government continues to cancel grants at both NIH and NSF to censor science it doesn't like. We're tracking terminations to organize and advocate. Please report your terminated grants: NIH: forms.gle/J2znQ7y7YpeP... NSF: airtable.com/appGKlSVeXni... w/ @noamross.net

Unfortunately, you are mistaken. NIH grants are two institutions not to PIs. The university must accept the terms and conditions. I believe the STAT article is correct.

Stop using AI. Yes, even just for fun. AI is built on STOLEN images and text. That’s right: by using it, you’re stealing from your friends. There is NOT ethical generative AI. Bonus bullshit: it is HORRENOUS for the environment. (Yes, even the cutesy profile photo cartoon things.)

....if I wrote a grant claiming that I would have a thorough clinical study completed by September of the same year starting NOW. I would, rightfully, be laughed out of the room. This is shameful. Autism isn't an epidemic.
