#Wilmasreview

Wilma 🐶 is celebrating her 7th birthday 🎂 with a publication alert 🚨

Wilma consulted AI 💻 to generate ideas about presents for dog birthdays. While the AI 💻 suggests an enormous treat 🍬, Wilma's humans chose enjoying a sunny day outside with some healthy carrot snacks 🥕.

For the last 3 yrs, I was the director for the Science of Science program at the NSF. We funded projects on science communication - science communication to the public, communication of public priorities to scientists, citizens engagement & participation in science. 🧵

Trump admin doesn't support replications to improve science ofc but wants to use them to bring long discredited ideas, flawed research questions and methods back into circulation. We should have collectively resisted the weaponization of replications as some magical demarcation criterion.
The Trump administration wants more studies replicated. That won't be easy
A key question is which studies get repeated and, with limited resources, at what expense.

🚨New paper alert!🚨

Women are less likely to enter competitions than men—even when equally qualified. But telling them this can change behavior.

📈 In a field experiment on a job application platform, we found that highlighting this gender gap increased the # of job apps women submitted by ~20%.
Screenshot of title + abstract of the paper.

We polled Nature readers to ask if they were thinking of leaving the US for jobs abroad. Three-quarters of them (who said they were US-based scientists) said yes. 🧪

www.nature.com/articles/d41...
75% of US scientists who answered Nature poll consider leaving
More than 1,600 readers answered our poll; many said they were looking for jobs in Europe and Canada.

This CDC "survey" getting sent to grantees is wild yall.

This is some serious "Kiss my Ring" level bullshit.
Survey for CDC grants that include "no DEI" "no environmental justice" or climate related work, the biologically bullshit argument that "protecting women against gender ideology" more MAGA propaganda (with receipts since it links an executive order under most questions). "Do you counter malign influence, including Chinga?", "What impact does this project have on preventing illegal immigration"? What impact does this project have on protecting religious minorities, promoting religious freedom, and combatting Christian persecution? Establishment of the White House Faith Office and Eradicating Anti-Christian Bias What impact does this project have in increasing American influence, trust and reputation within foreign governments?

A tweet from Trump that reads “All Federal Funding will STOP for any College, School, or University that allows illegal protests. Agitators will be imprisoned/or permanently sent back to the country from which they came. American students will be permanently expelled or, depending on on the crime, arrested. NO MASKS! Thank you for your attention to this matter”

The DOGE firings have nothing to do with “efficiency” or “cutting waste.” They’re a direct push to weaken federal agencies perceived as liberal. This was evident from the start, and now the data confirms it: targeted agencies overwhelmingly those seen as more left-leaning. 🧵⬇️
Scatterplot titled “Empirical Evidence of Ideological Targeting in Federal Layoffs: Agencies seen as liberal are significantly more likely to face DOGE layoffs.” • The x-axis represents Perceived Ideological Leaning of federal agencies, ranging from -2 (Most Liberal) to +2 (Most Conservative), based on survey responses from over 1,500 federal executives. • The y-axis shows Agency Size (Number of Staff) on a logarithmic scale from 1,000 to 1,000,000. Each point represents a federal agency: • Red dots indicate agencies that experienced DOGE layoffs. • Gray dots indicate agencies with no layoffs. Key Observations: • Liberal-leaning agencies (left side of the plot) are disproportionately represented among red dots, indicating higher layoff rates. • Notable targeted agencies include: • HHS (Health & Human Services) • EPA (Environmental Protection Agency) • NIH (National Institutes of Health) • CFPB (Consumer Financial Protection Bureau) • Dept. of Education • USAID (U.S. Agency for International Development) • The National Nuclear Security Administration (DOE), despite its conservative leaning (+1 on the scale), is an exception among targeted agencies. • A notable outlier: the Department of Veterans Affairs (moderately conservative) also faced layoffs despite its size. Takeaway: The figure visually demonstrates that DOGE layoffs disproportionately targeted liberal-leaning agencies, supporting claims of ideological bias. The pattern reveals that layoffs were not driven by agency size or budget alone but were strongly associated with perceived ideology. Source: Richardson, Clinton, & Lewis (2018).

Not every study needs to have a power analysis, but every study needs a sample size justification. I discuss 6 approaches, and 6 ways to think about which effect sizes are of interest in the study you are planning.

Even when people are shown clear evidence of #discrimination, it doesn‘t change their support for anti-discrimination policies.
