Powerful graphic. In a single day on April 25, a DOGE-fueled NSF canceled 340,226 future days of research. Or 932 years. [And that’s just one of three rounds of terminations so far.]

I love working with undergraduates in my research into STEM teaching and learning. Her findings: that low-risk public communication assignments increase student engagement in an introductory biology class. #EduSky #AcademicSky

I walked out of a faculty senate town hall on the administration's attempt to blow up higher education this evening, looked up in the sky to see the debris from Musk's spaceship blowing up over the Bahamas and South Florida.

I designed a new course on learning skills for first yr STEM students that had huge impact. University wants to cut it because enrollment was low on first offering despite my demonstrating massive impacts. Suggestions for arguments? #academicsky #teachinglearningsky

so just learned that the course I started a couple of years ago, grown from 30% to 50% of the target enrollment, will not be offered because I didn't hit 100%. Because the only thing that matters in Higher Ed now is butts in seats. #academicsky

I teach a forensic biology course for non-science students. Much of what I assign as readings comes from the NIJ or DOJ reports. One of the reports, recommendations for handling witness id line-ups, is now removed from the server. I will leave the dead link as a demonstration. #academicsky

I admit, this was not on my radar until now. The threat of mass nursing home closures, likely forcing residents to move in w/family or become unhoused, will put insane pressure on state legislatures to find any $$ they can to keep those care facilities open. #highered #academicsky

This is the leadership we're being offered? One of my students came to my office last night because her mom had met with their Dem representative, who had argued for 'laying low' and waiting out T. Passivity is capitulation. #organize #resist
