Here’s an interesting and important study on how fact-checking social media can lead to accusations of bias against right wing discourse - but it’s actually because that discourse is more likely to contain misinformation to start with. Paging @sheencr.bsky.social

Reviewers for NIH graduate student grants should stop work and allow no applications to proceed, since participating in this farce is, in the most literal way, upholding white supremacy.
The CSR comm I'm on just pulled all Diversity F grants from the current review cycle. These apps are reviewed alongside (and by the same criteria) as all other F grants. So, instead of helping these trainees, they will actually be punished by having their grant reviews delayed at least 1 cycle !?!?

Happy Birthday Mary Leakey!
Happy birthday to #trowelblazer Mary Leakey, who was born #OnThisDay in AD 1913. She made countless contributions to palaeoanthropology, like the Laetoli footprints - evidence of early bipedalism.

Diamond open access model means that publication in scientific journal is free for both readers and authors. No APCs = equal publishing, but also no profit = need for external funding. There are relatively few diamond OA journals, and some of them (including GHSP) were funded by USAID.
Well just received this email regarding a paper under review:

The president doesn’t actually have the power to ban gender-affirming care for trans youth. So why has Children’s National “paused” certain forms of care?
