Today my @nytimes.com colleagues and I are launching a new series called Lost Science. We interview US scientists who can no longer discover something new about our world, thanks to this year‘s cuts. Here is my first interview with a scientist who studied bees and fires. Gift link: nyti.ms/3IWXbiE

Managing emotions is not easy - we often get by with a little help. In the NEW Social Interaction and Emotion Lab at Rutgers-Newark, we’ll study how social interactions regulate emotion using experiments, naturalistic data, and multi-modal approaches. ✨ Now recruiting! ✨🙌 Learn more: raziasahi.com

🧪 Detailed data viz NYT article, out today, on the extent of funding cuts at the National Science Foundation.

This "broken pie chart" is neat & new to me: Powerfully shows the slowdown in new NSF awards across areas.

Woo!! So excited to be cohort-mates!
I’m beyond excited to share that I’ll be starting my PhD in Cognitive Psychology at Yale this fall with support from the NSF GRFP! I feel deeply grateful to be joining this community and to work with @robbrutledge.bsky.social and the Rutledge lab!

Anyone looking to take an amazing clinical psych student who would come to grad school with an NSF GRFP in hand? Interests in stigma, adversity, but flexible! (Side note that it is awful that nsf doesn’t let you defer, apply next yr w/grant in hand, and just count that as 1 of 2 deferral yrs)

Glad to see Princeton's president stand up for universities even after the administration suspended their grants.

Excellent excellent excellent from Princeton president and constitutional/ political theorist Chris Eisgruber. There's been far too little of this kind of thing; here's hoping others follow his good example.

Cuts to federal research funding will hurt future Texas science students
Cutting funding from anything perceived as “DEI-adjacent” harms us all. It freezes life-changing research, and shuts the door on talented, hardworking students.
