Excited that this article, Occupational Health & Labor Unions was just published (open access) in Occupational Health Science. Great contributions from a team of authors led by Denise Vesper, including @kafletch.bsky.social

I absolutely LOVE it when I'm reading a paper and my friends (or my wife) are cited. Nothing tickles me more than my friends, who do good work, getting seen for that work.

Missed a call to my office number today. Googled the number because the voicemail was silent. Turns out others have been called by this number and it's a scam caller pretending to be an NSF program officer. 254-203-9546.

If you are a cis person *please* take 2 minutes to do this. Trans people with non-updated gender markers, historical gender marker changes, and X markers are terrified to travel right now; rolling back this policy would mean a lot.
Public comment is now open for passport gender marker changes.
You can go here to go to each of the three proposed passport rules, and submit comment.
My suggestion: be unique, argue for trans-inclusive policies, against the constitutionality of the changes, etc.

Ah, a nice example of "The Folly of Rewarding A While Hoping for B," a classic article by Steve Kerr
Some companies are rewarding in-person attendance (and punishing absence) while HOPING for performance
Perhaps kissing-up to the boss is more effective in-person!
