If you have an interest in non-human primate systems neuroscience and/or imaging esp. if it relates to development or learning, call me! These are major chair positions that come with at least $4M or $8M over 8 years, depending on career stage.

Fans of #structuredliteracy, #reading and public radio: I'll be the guest of CBC's "Just Asking" call-in show this afternoon at 5 pm ET. Answering questions about teaching kids to read. Will I say something "out of pocket", as the kids say? Time will tell! www.cbc.ca/radio/justas...

and none of those pieces are being written by people who understand how that level of constant abuse CHANGES you

it’s not a mere tedious cleanup process, blocking today’s round of trolls just like sorting out the junk mail from the bills and birthday cards

it does not live on you that lightly
The thing that keeps getting me about all the pieces fretting about Bluesky being too insular is that the argument seems to be that those of us who are most likely to be abused by the right (BIPOC people, trans people, queer people, etc) must put up with being abused for the sake of public discourse

Riding bikes is 10X more important than electric cars for reaching net-zero cities. And that’s just the climate emissions. Doesn’t include the massive public & personal cost, the air & noise pollution, the huge space difference, etc… @theconversation.bsky.social

Cycling is ten times more important than electric cars for reaching net-zero cities
Active travel can help tackle the climate crisis earlier than electric vehicles – even if you swap the car for a bike for just one trip a day.

“They weren’t lazy about it—they didn’t just throw up barriers & ban cars,” @BrentToderian.bsky.social said. He also marvelled at how much was done with comparatively little funds—little over C$1 million.

Faculty, if you have grad students, are you required to pay them a stipend out of your grant funds? I know this is required in some departments but not all. Trying to build a case to support our students.

New paper: of 5000 PhDs awarded at large Dutch uni, men were about twice as likely to receive a cum laude degree even if they had same supervisor. Difference most severe with all male PhD committees & reduces with more female members.
