In an attempt to preserve what remains of my sanity, I'm continuing to update the Academic Target Tracker map @elotroalex.bsky.social and I threw together last weekend. It includes info about academic workers who have been detained or had their visas revoked in recent weeks. You can find it here:

"Unate unate a la lucha unate". An attack on immigrant workers is an attack on all workers! Today we are marching to show our unity as we defend ALL immigrant workers and stand up to the Trump Administration. We aren't falling for billionaires attempting to divide us. Ya Basta! #ConEstasManos

NIH has rescinded its scientific integrity policy. Hard to see this as anything other than clearing the way for shoddy research on things like vaccines. Regardless of the rationale, it's bad news for public health.

This was such a satisfying project, and one in which I realized for the first time how much my whole life had been spent in a manscape, in places where almost everything was named after men.
#WomensHistoryMonth: The City of Women Map is a fascinating visualization of women’s history and urban transportation. Created by Molly Roy, Rebecca Solnit, and Joshua Jelly-Schapiro, the map renames subway stops after notable women with links to that area, offering an entirely new way to view #NYC.
