For a video explainer, I'm looking for scientists working in the US, or in collaboration with US scientists, or with US data's, whose work is impacted by the new Trump administration.
🙏If you are willing to be interviewed (video interview in a French newspaper) DM me !

Once again I am suggesting that you break some rules for practice. Get comfortable with breaking rules. When the rules are hurting other people, the right thing to do is break them. We need people who follow their moral code over the rules of their society, university, employer, and government.

Wondering if your study section cancelled? I update this sheet daily. As of today, 56/124 study sections that should have met since Jan 2, 2025 have "not met as scheduled." docs.google.com/spreadsheets...

Trying to collect info in one place for folks. Things are moving quickly. The multiply marginalized will be disparately impacted, especially BlPOC, immigrant, and/or queer disabled folks. Here's the round up from week 1.

This year, the horrors persisted but so did my lab! Really excited to find out our proposal to increase LGBTQ-related education for rehabilitation providers was funded and I can’t wait to get started on this work! 🏳️‍🌈

For anyone else looking for auditory scientists, @axelahrens.bsky.social has compiled a great starter pack. Excited to be following some new folks as a result!
From not being able to find people within auditory research to not being able to follow up on notifications. This is fantastic! So nice to see this community growing! Do not hesitate to contact me if you want want to be added to this list, particularly young/early career peeps.
