Can confirm that my NSF grant "How False Beliefs Form & How to Correct Them" was cancelled today because it is "not in alignment with current NSF priorities" Shocking that understanding how people are misled by false information is now a forbidden topic.

To all those who say ADHD should not be medicated, and all it needs is good diet, routine and regular outdoor activity, once you parent a child with severe ADHD you will learn that although those things help, they don't make ADHD go away and it can still be impossible for them to manage.
