“It found 90% of respondents think federal investment in STEM education is important for future economic prosperity, and the majority of respondents from both parties are concerned about policy changes that might make it harder for the U.S. to attract and retain top scientists.”

📢 Today I was supposed to be in DC, highlighting what the NSF Social, Behavioral, & Economic Sciences delivers to US taxpayers. NSF had one of the highest returns on investment (ROIs) of federal grantors 👏🏻 (1) and NSF SBE funded 63% of US social and psychological science research (2). 🧵

Working on this slide for my NSF funded PD project for elementary math teachers as this all hits the fan. Kind of poetic I guess.

Really excited to see this new research on Pre-K teachers from RAND's new American Pre-K Teacher Survey: www.rand.org/pubs/researc.... This is such an understudied area of the teacher labor market, and the existence of this survey panel could lead to more exciting work in the future!

Just got a message from my 4yo’s preschool teacher asking parents to discourage the use of the phrase “man boobs” among kids, because apparently they’ve started saying it regularly 🤣

I can confirm that every person in the Department of Education who worked on IPEDS received a notification this week that they were going to be fired. All of them. Private contractors do some of the work on IPEDS, but it won't function without staff in ED.

Watched a student walk face-first into a stop sign on campus today. He shook it off, straightened up, flipped off the sign, and kept walking. He wasn’t with anyone, he did that just for himself 😆 🖕

I was on an IES 305A review panel this year and got this today following up on the cancellation of panels last week. I’m taking this to mean panels will not be rescheduled at all and that 305A awards likely won’t be made. I reviewed some critically important proposals. This is truly awful.

🚨New pub alert!!! @natejones.bsky.social and I found that when teachers express more negative emotions, students are less engaged in math and ELA, and enjoy ELA less. And we offer a new measure for observing teacher affect!! www.sciencedirect.com/science/arti...

I’m an NSF panel reviewer that was scheduled to meet today. Just got notice that all NSF panels were canceled today. I reviewed some innovative proposals in support of students. Devastating if these scholars don’t get to do this work. For the love of science & students I hope this is just a delay.💔
