😂 Clearly diversity on university faculty should be a priority then. Not all of us give a shit about being stuffy academics and talking to other stuffy academics. Some of us come from poor families and do our work specifically for working class folks.

Funny that people think old white men aren’t on board with the actions of other old white men. 😂

REU = Research Experience for Undergraduates. It's a program where undergrads do scientific research with a faculty advisor and a small peer cohort. I know a bunch of people who've done one as undergrads, and it was formative for all of them. *screams in outrage*

I was an MSU physics REU student in the 90s. These experiences led to careers.

<tin foil hat> I do believe that is the end game. you can't make products to sell people and weapons to kill people unless the research is private. </tin foil hat>

WE JUST GOT DOGE’D no funding for this year. We have to cancel the program and email 450 applicants there will be no REU program in physics at MSU. First time in 20+ years. I’m fucking livid, y’all.

I am _still_ waiting on a rejection letter from the REU program I applied to at UTexas in 2003.

One of my departments will be doing a search for #AI in #education very soon. Here's a brief post with more information coming soon. I'll be chairing this search. Considering joining us! perjobs.blogspot.com/2025/02/rumo... #datascience #machinelearning #academia #physicssky #astrosky

Tonight my colleague and I met with our undergrads at a town hall they organized. We had a #teach-in on the federal actions, their rights, and how to #organize against these attacks. I created some slides and you can modify them. danny.hellmo.space/posts/a-town... #solidarity #highered #academia

President of St. Thomas: "We’re just trying to focus on the facts and say, I think that Republicans and Democrats can both agree that producing more special-ed teachers for the state of Minnesota is a good thing...” These indiscriminate cuts hurt the most vulnerable among us. It's cruel.

These stories collect by the @chronicle.com are heartbreaking. www.chronicle.com/article/what... These few examples give us more reasons to organize; this is happening on every campus. I'm thankful they were shared.
