At the moment, mansion-sized Asteroid 2024-YR4 has a one-in-fifty chance of hitting Earth in the next eight years. Now might be a bad time to reduce spending on Science. Just sayin’.

Since everyone is talking about research funding, this perspective by the vice-president of the European Research Council might be of interest. Blue states: Consider joining a multinational research council.

🚨BREAKING. From a program officer at the National Science Foundation, a list of keywords that can cause a grant to be pulled. I will be sharing screenshots of these keywords along with a decision tree. Please share widely. This is a crisis for academic freedom & science.

This is a great list of resources. I also recommend researchersupport.org which has resources for individuals, funders and institutions (how to prep for attacks and how to respond)

It is very easy to call your representatives’ offices. They have to log your calls and the call numbers are meaningful. You don’t even have to try to convince anyone; just call and tell them your concerns. They are there to represent you. Let them know what that means. www.usa.gov/elected-offi...

On this day 14 years ago, my graduate advisor, David McCabe, unexpectedly passed away. I will always miss him and think about him, especially now that I am back at CSU as an assistant professor, just as he was, looking forward to my own grad students. I hope I am half as good of the advisor he was.

Oh, by the way, this is all true. Anti-vaxxers love to wipe their hands of the responsibility of their lies. The reality is that anti-vax rhetoric kills. And a lot of the time it's children who pay for it. www.motherjones.com/politics/202...

This time next Tuesday, I'll be on my way back to the US! Looking forward to being home for the holidays and my start at CSU 🤩 I've got a list of things I'm looking forward to and things I'll miss, and near the top of the latter is that UK colleagues collectively agree on this vibe in December 🤝

Peer reviews can vary from harsh and demoralizing to constructive and kind. How can we make sure the peer reviews we write fall into the latter group? Join us for this virtual workshop w/ @blackinneuro.bsky.social to learn about the dos and don'ts of effective & constructive peer reviews!

I have faced fascism before, in this very country. I was one of 120,000 Japanese Americans summarily rounded up and expelled from our homes at gunpoint, all for the crime of looking like the people who bombed Pearl Harbor. I spent my childhood behind barbed wire. My parents lost everything. 1/

Zotero is great and I think that anyone who needs to organise and cite more than a handful of references should be using it. Here's an intro to Zotero that I made for my undergrad students (but the info is relevant for anyone new to Zotero). Full vid [13 mins]: youtu.be/SlUHjOqVCyU Preview ⬇️

📊When teaching or giving a talk, do you like presenting plots step by step, revealing e.g. one group at a time? This is often useful for walking through complex results. I made a R package that makes it extremely easy to do this! ggreveal: Reveal a ggplot incrementally #rstats #dataviz #ggplot2

Do you also get cold emails from prospective PhDs who do not seem to have any shared research interests with you? Rather than assume it's just spam, I adapt an email like this one just in case it helps genuinely keen students -- hope it helps you too! osf.io/w38qd

New data on PhD student mental health: "By the 5th year of studies, the likelihood that PhD candidates needed mental-health medications had increased by 40%, compared with the year before study" This is why, when giving advice to students, I always mention self care www.nature.com/articles/d41...

I am so excited for #psynom24 ! The abstracts look amazing, and I am LOVING the "in memory of" posters, like for Larry Jacoby (1152) and Colleen Kelley (1153). I've never seen this before and I think it's a fantastic idea. Can't wait for NYC!
