setting aside Florida's Board of Governors corrosively nefarious intentions behind this move, as someone who typically finishes drafting my syllabi on <the author blushes in shame> the eve of the first day of class, this will haunt my nightmares forever
Florida's Board of Governors wants institutions to have course syllabi available 45 days before courses start. That raises serious issues about faculty calendars and adjuncts, and Georgia has moved to requiring syllabi at the time of student registration (!!!).

As an administrator, this is messy.
Florida wants to post more college syllabi online. Professors fear what's next.
University leaders in the Sunshine State want schools to post what textbooks, instructional materials and readings are required for most courses.

A Comment article in Nature Reviews Nephrology discusses how little attention has been given to how the termination of 2,100 NIH grants effect people who stand to benefit most from scientific discoveries: patients, care partners and community leaders. go.nature.com/47nCWmG #medsky 🧪

Really loved working with @courtneybreiner.bsky.social and Hana Zickgraf on this ARFID review! I am especially proud of our assessment tips, differential dx. thoughts, and our attempt to summarize treatment outcomes data that are rapidly emerging. Check it out! authors.elsevier.com/a/1lxOU,4QFJ...

Pet parrots which typically live alone (whilst those in the wild live in large flocks) were given the technology to call each other. They would use it for up to three hours a day, and developed favourite friends 💔

Some of y’all forget the reason we have food safety regulations is because companies used to do things like adding chalk to spoiled milk so it looked normal.

Regulations don’t exist because governments enjoy them. They exist because pure unadulterated capitalism would kill us.

RFK Jr. is going to release a report on what he thinks are the causes of Autism Spectrum Disorder.

There is reason to believe it won’t be trustworthy, so @defendpublichealth.bsky.social has released our own evidence-based report of ASD risk factors to the public.

Vaccines aren’t one of them.

Does anyone have any good books on the science of cortisol (or maybe not focused on cortisol but with good info on cortisol as part of it, maybe an academic book on hormones more broadly)? All I am finding are like non academic fad diet cortisol lowering type stuff 🙄

📣 New preprint from the SCIMaP team!

Across three studies, we show that communicating the economic impact of NIH funding cuts—especially with interactive quizzes and maps—decreases approval and motivates action to oppose the cuts, across the political spectrum. 🧵 1/8
