There's been great research on supporting students w/mathematics difficulties. Would that research be even better if we integrated ideas from cognitive load theory? Yes! Learn all about it on this episode of the Div15 podcast with Drs. Barbieri & Rodrigues! #PsychSciSky #AcademicSky #EduSky

An ed psych journal is refusing to publish our manuscript unless we "neutralize" "political" content. This is after the manuscript was peer-reviewed and accepted for publication. DM me for details!
I'm devastated. Two years of work and revisions with four junior co-authors cast aside that easily.

Our trackers are actively used in lawsuits and are often the only record that terminations ever occurred.

NSF appears to be terminating hundreds of its grants to Harvard, per internal sources at NSF and at Harvard. At least one division has had all its grants cut.
