Academic friends, if your NSF grants have been terminated by the administration, FABBS is hosting a webinar Friday about appealing the decisions. It's important that as many people appeal as possible to show we're not accepting this targeting of science. Link to the webinar registration is below.

I'm going to be teaching Intro Psych for the first time this fall semester. Would anyone be willing to share syllabi, activities, slides, anything else? I would also love to teach this using only open-access materials, so I'm especially interested in open-access courses!

The people of Gaza have a right to self-determination.

I hope to God this is just bluster, and not a serious attempt to take control of a territory, force 1.8 million people into exile, and build a tourist attraction in Middle East.

Trump says he wants the U.S. to take ownership of the Gaza Strip
Trump said he and Israeli leader Benjamin Netanyahu talked Tuesday about relocating Palestinians and leveling Gaza, which he suggested could be the "Riviera of the Middle East" under U.S. ownership.

I’m considering integrating a class-run experiment in my stereotyping/prejudice grad class next semester.

Has anyone done something similar and would be willing to share their assignments/syllabus?

Super-proud of Grace's new paper at SPPS on anti-racist and anti-sexist allyship and solidarity! Check it out👇
In a new paper w/ @clarawilkins.bsky.social & @calvinklai.bsky.social, I studied who POC & women expect will have their back after facing racism & sexism. We found 2 patterns for who’s expected to show solidarity: Black > Hispanic > Asian ≥ White & women > men.
