As an anthropologist in a medical school I write a lot that crosses disciplines and genres, for public audiences and academic ones. I’ve been rethinking my approaches and priorities lately. Come here us talk about this and more during June’s MASSH connections

Executive wants to frame the NIH indirects cut as $4B in savings.
But given that NIH returns $2.5 on every $1 investment, this would actually cost US economy a net $6 BILLION (per year!). Not to mention the human costs of wrecking education and research sectors and the communities they serve.

In it we argue, among other things, that anthropologists (and other social scientists!) need to LEAD more interdisciplinary teams. We have the skillset for team science, and we don't use it enough. And when we lead, we can be sure that we're asking the right questions #anthrosky #climate (2/2)

KEEPING PEOPLE HOUSED & FED during rough periods of their lives is *cheaper* than incarcerating & hospitalizing them repeatedly when they’re shoved onto the streets. Always has been. Just give them the money.
It saves money, even if “it’s just the right thing to do” never convinced you.

Preliminary results from the Denver Basic Income Project that's providing cash to hundreds of unhoused people for one year using the first 6 months of data:
• NO ONE receiving $1,000/mo still sleeping outside
• Full-time employment increased
• Fewer visits to the ER
• Fewer nights spent in jail
