The psych job market may not be dead... but it is gravely injured 😬 So far it's looking like the Trump administration's attacks on higher ed/research are going to have more than 2x the impact on the job market as the covid-19 pandemic. #psychjobs #neurojobs #academicjobs

Old Soviet joke for today:
A man walks into a newsstand every day, looks around, and leaves.
After a long time of this, the owner says “Can I help you find something?”
“I’m looking for the obituaries.”
“The obituaries are in the back of the newspaper, comrade.”
“Not the one I’m looking for.”

The United States should not wage war against Iran.
Donald Trump’s bombing of Iran is unconstitutional. Only Congress can declare war — and the Senate must vote immediately to prevent an another endless war.
This is a horrific war of choice.

They had no right to impede the U.S. Senator.
I’m guessing these clowns violated state law with regard to assault.
Anyone that laid hand on the Senator should be brought to justice.
And the faces of these thugs should be known.

If that’s what they do to a United States Senator with a question, imagine what they can do to any American that dares to speak up. We will hold this administration accountable.

Science news is particularly grim this week. For NSF funding, 2 key fronts:
1) freeze on ALL existing grants (portal is down - no $$ going out, including reimbursements) www.nature.com/articles/d41...
2) budget proposes 40% overall cut & 15% cap on indirects (lawsuits blocked same for NIH in Feb)

Trump has trashed a century of trust & confidence in the US economy. The bedrock has been stability, predictability, rule of law. This imbecile wrecked it in months. Things will get worse because Republicans have no guts to challenge stupid. www.cnbc.com/2025/04/12/i...
Investors are growing concerned about a U.S. asset exodus as Treasuries and the dollar decline
The combined decline of U.S. stocks, bonds and the dollar could be a sign of a broader shift away from investing in America.

This is an interesting essay by @draehernandez.bsky.social. The cognitive training/skill acquisition literature suggests that the effect of practice is often highly specific, but this essay argues that some practice effects (perseverance in the face of adversity) may transfer to other life domains.
