🚨 Super excited to share my new paper in CEP on precursors of students' cost perceptions with @pnbeymer.bsky.social and @emilyqr.bsky.social! We found that weekly perceptions of belonging and reported use of SRL lowered cost perceptions the following week. Read it here for free for 50 days!

Well, they did it - notice of a move to threaten federal funding over DEI. While not surprising, this is still so disheartening.

They claimed that it’s illegal to “treat students differently on the basis of race to achieve nebulous goals such as…social justice and equity”….😢
In 1964, the Civil Rights Act was passed, marking the legal end to Jim Crow in the USA. Its Title VI banned discrimination by race among any institution that receives Federal funds.

On Friday, the Acting head of the Ed Dept sent out this letter to all 50 states:

Another funding opportunity is gone. NSF archived the the Career-Life Balance program which provided supplemental funding when researchers are on family leave.

The small strides we had made toward improving representation in science are being undone so fast.

What is the Advisory Committee on Immunization Practices (ACIP)?
➡️ 15 experts who develop vaccine recommendations for the US. (vaccinology, immunology, etc & 1 consumer rep)
➡️ Selected by the Secretary of Health and Human Services. If RFK Jr is chosen, he will appoint folks who undermine vaccines.

The CDC’s Youth Risk Behavior Survey has monitored the wellbeing of America’s high school students since 1991.

Since 2015, it’s been a vital source of data on LGBQ youth. In 2023, it provided the first ever nationally representative sample of transgender teens.

As of this morning, it’s gone.

🚨 Data.gov appears to be dropping datasets 🚨

Almost 2,300 datasets have disappeared since Jan 21.

Data scrubbing at this rate is concerning- download and archive what you think you’ll need.

Tim Kaine said it well. He's lying. He has no authority to offer severance packages. Once you resign, you have given up your rights. Make them fire you without just cause. Document everything. "If it's not documented, it didn't happen." Email yourself that log so it is time stamped.
