The University of Pittsburgh confirmed Friday that there would be no new Ph.D. offers of admission while Pitt works to understand how reduced federal aid could impact the institution.

There are currently three open faculty positions (all levels) in my department (Psychology) Oslo is a lovely city, modestly sized (600k) but a capital, surrounded by forest and the fjord We're also a stable democracy with high support of and trust in science www.sv.uio.no/english/abou...

A moral stain on all of us

And arrogant. Ive never encountered a class of people so convinced that they and they alone have the answers to everything, no matter what the subject in question is--from higher education to medicine to art and literature. They might have no training or skill in it, but are convinced they know best

Whether we're foraging for food or hunting for houses, humans expect resources to be clumped. What are the implications of this'patchiness psychology' for intergroup relations? Excited to share new geospatial approaches tackling this❓at #SPSP2025 this week--stop by and say hi if you're in town!

1/ I am seeing a lot of comments on the slashing of NIH support along the lines of “universities should just spend their huge endowments.” I’m the last person to cheer on the institutional stratification rising endowments have contributed to. But let me explain why this is not a solution.

Collaborators fired at USDA. Program officers fired at NSF. Study sections suspended indefinitely at NIH (also firings). It's impossible to just keep your head down and do the work, as the work and the people are vanishing in front of us. 🧪

The Program Officer of my R01 to be discussed next month was just fired. FIRED. She was going to send me a feedback on a Specific Aims page, but sorry, she was fired. If you are a scientist in the US and haven't gone nuts or lost you mind by know, you are completely delusional.

Excited for the upcoming @spspnews.bsky.social! My co-chair @mohammadwiswall.bsky.social and I have organized an incredible symposium exploring how intersectionality shapes perceptions of the Pan-Asian diaspora. We’re honored to be joined by @jinxungoh.bsky.social and @yzhuang.bsky.social!

soon enough, the mere presence of black and latino students on campus will be illegal racial discrimination against white students www.insidehighered.com/news/diversi...

In every academic leadership position, people must ask themselves: who do I serve? The people above me or below me? #academicsky

The NAACP is re-mixing 1930s-era "don't buy where you can't work" campaigns to confront the neo-segregationists targeting DEI. apnews.com/article/blac...

A few years ago, data was published showing that U.S. life expectancy declined by 1-3 years (depending on demographic group) due to COVID-19. At the time, that was considered a staggering drop in life expectancy. If that was staggering, I-

I find it hilarious that the Interpersonal Relations and Group Processes section of JPSP--ostensibly a "premier outlet"--cannot fill its page allocation. The rest of the editorial is all about how every paper must meet a high bar for "theoretical innovation." Good times. doi.org/10.1037/pspi...

Calling all SALAAM members attending SPSP! We have a meetup planned for 8pm on Friday (2/21) at the convention center after the receptions (Room 501). Food will be provided! Please fill out this RSVP so we can order the right amount of food. Hope to see you soon! docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1F...

Our registered report with @valentinmang.bsky.social and @feitenglong.bsky.social has now been published in BJSP! We examined the radicalizing effects of different Great Replacement conspiracy narratives (Muslim vs. left-wing conspirators). See the link for the paper: doi.org/10.1111/bjso...

We are hearing today that NIH is restarting issuing grant awards — that is, for awards already approved by council, or renewals that normally happen as matter of course, money will start going out. Caution, though, before we interpret this as a win... 1/ 🧪

✨ new paper from me & blue-sky-less Rebecca Ponce de Leon! out now in JPSP ✨ we ask - does the prototype of leaders as being people high in agency match the preference of followers? do people really want to work for the Logan Roy, Ms. Cobel, or Don Drapers of the world?
