Universities that advertised their commitment to diversity in glossy brochures & fundraising campaigns now face a reckoning: was it real or just marketing? The admin bets they’ll stay silent to keep their funding. But the cost of inaction will be far greater. greencarelab.ucdavis.edu/how-universi...

This included one of my HS best friends. He's worked for/with NOAA for 20 years, and just recently transitioned into a new role. Despite NOAA labeling him as critical and begging to keep him, his termination said he his skills/abilities/knowledge did not fit the agency's needs.

Don't forget "no research has" and "more research is needed" throughout the intro. Also critical is to NEVER interpret null findings. Always come from the perspective that null findings mean you just didn't quite figure out how to test the hypothesis in the right way. HIDDEN MODERATORS PEOPLE.

NIDA has announced it, but all the NIH summer internship programs are likely cancelled. Sorry college students interested in STEM jobs, sorry high school students looking at science 🧪 careers. Trump and Musk are cancelling your futures.

Just here noting that the SAT is not a measure of intelligence. It does a reasonable job of measuring how well your schooling has done so far for you. Maybe you worked hard and did some reading. Maybe you were privileged to go to a good school. But it ain’t IQ.

IES supports critical innovations in the education and well being of our nations youth. This administration's callous disregard for the role of science in a thriving society is horrendous. And I fear it's only going to get worse.

This is grim. The YRBS is a critical survey to track risky behaviors in American teens. I don't understand why the current administration doesn't care about the health and well being of American children.

I'm excited to share a new preprint: In a novel experimental paradigm, we found evidence that stress induces a computational bias during alcohol-related decision-making in favor of alcohol, but this bias was only sometimes strong enough to overcome competing considerations (e.g., taste preferences).
