To be clear, “Vance skis in jeans” is Vermont’s highest insult. This is Final Boss Nuclear Insult level in the Vermont linguistic hierarchy.

Who are these "brave scholars" speaking out against "threats to free speech & open inquiry"? Why, the kind of humble souls who can muster a mere 12.3 million twitter followers between them* These people are the least cancelled people in academia & they are not using their large platforms for good

If you are going to #AABA2025 don't miss the #BAWMNHappyHour on Thurs. 3/13 from 5:30-7:00 at Lebanese Taverna (right across from the conference hotel). The food/drinks are really good there and who doesn't like a happy hour? #BAWMN

I went to CPAC as an anthropologist to see how Trump supporters are feeling − for them, a ‘golden age’ has begun

At #anthro #altac folks: I'm looking to create a panel of 4-5 folks that I will make available to the public to discuss alt ac careers that make use of anthropology degrees. If you are interested in being a panelist, please let me know. A Tuesday in late April. TIA.

Stay and fight if you can, but if not: The interdisciplinary Faculty of Health Sciences at Simon Fraser University is looking for a new Dean and a leader who is able to champion the focus on health equity and social justice

To me, a Nazi salute means, "I want to murder your family." There can be no irony about it: It puts deep anger and hatred in my heart to see it done and I will never forgive anyone who justifies or minimizes it.

A great article in NYTimes about what recent #DEIA rollbacks mean for research involving #disability (gift link) #DisabledinSTEM www.nytimes.com/2025/02/22/s...

I'm seeing a lot of support for fired scientists and environmental professionals, which is great But a lot is phased is "just keep doing your important work," and I need you to know that these are early career people with student loans and no savings, and they need income for food and shelter.

This is awful, @unitedairlinesual.bsky.social . Be better. You have disabled people in your lives. Protect them. www.washingtonpost.com/business/202...

As I said, the best people. This is evidence of that. Evidence. Something this administration seems hell bent on suppressing.

NSF fired 10 per cent of its workforce yesterday. Some of the smartest, hardest-working, and most thoughtful people I've ever had the fortune to call my colleagues. Keep calling your senators. Keep investing in local races. Make sure you do whatever you can to stop this.

This is so true We can never forget this

V day this year is sitting down and getting a call from the boss to tell you whether or not you're fired. Certainly won't forget this one.

This v day is about survivor guilt. Iykyk. Stay strong, peeps.

On a day like this, it’s important to say THANK YOU to all the science and public health communicators for all you do. Your work will be even more critical in the coming years. Keep going! You are very much needed and appreciated. ❤️

The authors of a Comment article in Nature Human Behaviour propose six actionable steps of allyship that researchers, faculty members and educators can engage in to foster a diverse, equitable and inclusive academia. #Academicsky 🧪

Indispensable, information rich talk from @kevinlala.bsky.social . Should be watched by anyone doing #genetics, #evolution, or race studies. Maybe I’ll share some thoughts later. #sts #philbio #hps underline.io/lecture/1051...

I just emailed Governor Youngkin (www.governor.virginia.gov/communicatin...) to ask him to encourage the VA high school authority to reverse this ban. Use the platform to help those who can be most lifted, not those who already benefit from privilege. www.washingtonpost.com/education/20...
