A list of ProPublica reporters, what they're covering, and how to get in touch via Signal. There are reporters covering USAID, DOGE, State, NIH, CDC, FDA, DOJ, EPA, DOD, DHS, FAA, Medicaid, abortion, HUD, DOT, veterans and ED. www.propublica.org/article/seco...

In light of everything happening, I wrote about how the KKK in the 1920s felt unstoppable, about the people that fought against them anyway, and about how fascism always fails. dansinker.com/posts/202…

Today's top story in @theconversation.com shares research on the effect of rising house prices that have widened the White-Black wealth gap in recent decades. Read more from @um-psc.bsky.social @umichstonecid.bsky.social affiliate @joelabriola.bsky.social! #Econsky #UMichResearch

NIH indirects case update: Hearing ongoing now, and I'll try to live tweet some notable exchanges. Prior to more detailed arguments, Judge Kelley starts off with a few point questions to both sides: (I'm paraphrasing here)

In light of the latest plane crash news, this seems relevant again. www.bbc.com/news/magazin...

BREAKING: "On Wednesday morning, NIH leadership distributed a memo, obtained by Popular Information, acknowledging that its funding freeze was illegal and directing staff to resume issuing grants." popular.info/p/breaking-n...

Nebula subs — new video today! Now is a pretty good time to move to a college town, but they’re often kinda expensive. So I went and found ten underrated gems: nebula.tv/videos/cityn...

This skeet is for the Sociology folks! Sociology has officially arrived. In an effort to re-live the early days of academic twixxer we now have a 3 volume starter pack(s) posted below. Feel free to add any areas of interest starter packs to this feed too and reqs to be added! Here We Go!

embrace boring. 🧵

If you’re a federal govt employee targeted for leave or termination on the basis of your DEI work, please file an EEO (Equal Employment Opportunity) complaint & retain legal counsel. I’m a former NIH PI. Happy to refer you to a law firm that has successfully sued the govt many times! Pls repost 🙏❤️

New database alert! "A national data set of historical US sundown towns for quantitative analysis", based on work by @rigbydavid.bsky.social and many Landscapes Labs collaborators is now available! www.nature.com/articles/s41...

As the Trump administration & many state governments appear poised to accelerate attacks on higher education as a public good, the AAUP urges colleges & universities to resist the coming onslaught of political interference & defend the core values of higher education. 🧵 www.aaup.org/news/against...

This thread will be stories of how people hold the line--continue to behave responsibly and ethically.

The new White House has already deleted dozens of environmental justice websites and reports. Worry not, they’re all backed up on various independent university websites. eelp.law.harvard.edu/tracker-type... 🧪🌎

Looks like many new folks have joined lately so I’m sharing this starter pack again. Now, more than ever, it is crucial to understand the social and political dimensions of environmental problems and solutions. go.bsky.app/GNpJZBo

👀Check out this poster by our collaborator Dr. Kayla Fike on "A Life Course Approach to Neighborhood Segregation and Health among Black and White Americans" based on work she and many Landscapes Lab collaborators have done using data from ACL.

Clever study that explores the debate between those who claim that color categories are 'innate' and those who argue that they are dependent on language. It turns out that monkeys, unlike humans, do not have consensus color categories, suggesting cognitive mechanisms such as language are required.🧪🧠

Dental care is vital for oral health & overall well-being. My new article examines life-course dental care patterns, revealing persistent racial disparities in lower dental care use from adolescence to middle adulthood in the US. jech.bmj.com/content/earl...

I hope to contribute to a body of research that uses quantitative analysis of interesting data to carefully estimate pathways and relationships between place-specific histories and contemporary outcomes. - @rigbydavid.bsky.social our latest collab spotlight: landscapes.isr.umich.edu/2024/12/06/c...

I wrote a little reflection on objectivity and diversity in science. Could be useful if you are teaching research methods, as is the companion paper on objectivity interrogation. communities.springernature.com/posts/in-sci...

Excited to be here! I'm a @umsociology.bsky.social prof and I direct @umichstonecid.bsky.social. I'm a sociologist and demographer, mostly studying gender and family inequality and wealth inequality. I'll post about that and about opportunities at the Stone Center. I look forward to connecting!

Good talking to @cenmag.bsky.social and @kvasquez.bsky.social about neurodivergence in STEM. Great article. My callout is to neurotypical folks to learn more so they can provide supports to students. #ActuallyAutistic cen.acs.org/careers/dive...

I am now in a truly interdisciplinary environment if researchers representing all the social sciences, public health, and medicine. It gives you a very different perspective on research and academic narrowness defined by our disciplines. Some questions:

Need a gift for the woman who DOES everything? Holding It Together is a gift of recognition and a gift of ungaslighting--showing her that if she's burned out, it's because billionaires and their cronies maintain the illusion of a DIY society by forcing her to work overtime and underpaid. #booksky

It is finally here!!

I've been researching the idea of Unconditional Universal Basic Income since 2013. Here's a collection of findings I've compiled from various UBI experiments and studies of cash transfer programs around the world. This will be a VERY LONG and ongoing thread focused entirely on empirical evidence. 🧵

A new video on the psychology of misbeliefs focuses on Leon Festinger, who began developing his theory of cognitive dissonance as an early founding leader of @rcgd-isr.bsky.social. First in a series by @jayvanbavel.bsky.social and Dominic Packer. www.powerofusnewsletter.com/p/why-do-peo...

Bluesky! You might not have heard, but we regularly post interviews with our collaborators on our website. Read about @reeddeangelis.bsky.social 's work in our most recent feature: landscapes.isr.umich.edu/2024/11/01/c...

Behind the first door of the 100% CI advent calendar is a new blog post! In which I hand out unsolicited writing advice -- with a focus on writing about technical topics in an accessible manner, but most of it is fairly general: www.the100.ci/2024/12/01/w...

"But how will Big Pharma do the R&D for new big discoveries?!" Newsflash: they don't. Heard about those hot GLP-1 treatments? Yeah, all Big Pharma did was race to patent a bunch of highly similar chemicals, the very last step of R&D. Y'know who funded the real research to get there? Taxpayers.

I’m super excited to announce I'm part of an amazing team (<3 @williambrady.bsky.social @killianmcloughlin.bsky.social @mjcrockett.bsky.social) that just published a paper in @science.org on the role of outrage in spread of misinformation Link here: science.org/doi/10.1126/... Summary in🧵🔽 1/

Study of 220 trans youths about “4.8 yrs after beginning puberty blockers and 3.4 years after beginning hormones,” found “very high levels of satisfaction and low levels of regret; the overwhelming majority (97%) continued to access gender-affirming medical care.” jamanetwork.com/journals/jam...

New metascience journal has launched using the publish-review-curate model: preprint is published, reviewed openly then an editor posts assessment. Will be interesting to see if this model, involving editorial oversight, is more successful than the problematic Qeios model, which involves none

I wish everyone who can would read this. He's an excellent writer, and I am grateful to be witnessing his experience through this piece. ✍️ 📝

this one easy trick will put a lot of black people into an early grave

This from @jonathanecollins.bsky.social looks great. Folks support teaching core ideas from Critial Race Theory—that racism is structural (and bad)—but oppose teaching “CRT” because policy makers tarnished the brand. This has broad implications beyond the case. www.cambridge.org/core/journal...

The bacteria in your gut depend on where you are in the social network around you. The microbes within us treat our social networks as the extended environment in which they thrive. They can spread from person to person. New #HNL work out today in @natureportfolio.bsky.social . 1/
