Hi all! I have study planned and need some community assistance. If you’ve seen articles/headlines that contain misinformation about DEI, could you please send these my way?

Really great here from @tspampatti.bsky.social. I have a plan for a set of projects designed to start empirically exploring these directions that I’m really excited about. Happy to discuss/collaborate on those plans!

If anyone is curious about the current list of search terms being used by right wing activist organizations to harass university professors, here's a public records request I received today from Mike Howell of the Heritage Foundation. Not intimidating or meant to curtail by my speech at all, right?

It feels like every new psych job is either computational or ai-based research. Doesn’t bode well for people who do other great research that doesn’t fall into these niche categories.

Boards of Trustees ***LIKE*** the Trump demands. They ***AGREE*** with them.
They like the idea of putting the screws on activist, lefty, and Muslim students. They like the idea of a whiter student body and conservative curriculum. They want these things and think $200 million is a fair price.

In a study of professors, women got 378 new work requests over 4 weeks vs 118 for men. Women spent more time on service, advising & teaching; men on research. Orgs should track who is taking extra duties & ensure they are rewarded and distributed fairly. www.forbes.com/sites/kimels...
Being Too Helpful At Work Can Hurt Your Career—Here’s How To Say No
Women are more likely to take on behind-the-scenes duties at work—extra tasks like onboarding or event planning—and it's hurting their careers. Here's how to say no.

Has anyone refinanced their federal student loans? If so, was it worth it? The unfortunate side of graduating is that now I must pay and I’m trying to figure out the best path forward.

The highlighted speaks perfectly to the effects of informational gist on misinformation susceptibility by Langdon and colleagues. I just had hoped prominent media wouldn’t perpetuate this kind of irresponsible reporting.

We are currently watching the best researchers science has to offer systematically be stripped of their ability to share critical knowledge - Franki is firmly in that category. This is horrifying to watch unravel. All the best to Franki and everyone affected.
I'm disappointed to share that my NSF career grant on anti-Asian dehumanization was terminated. This affects ongoing project activities, which have shown great progress so far, and support for my research team and more.
I'm sad to share that the hiring of the postdoc role is currently on pause.

I just found out today that another post doc I was a finalist for had to be removed due to funding cuts. I cannot understate just how hard it is to be searching for academic positions under this administration.
My heart goes out to all folks who have had their funding cut. May your research thrive.

It is very difficult being post-doc seeker with the funding freezes. The emotional toll of the market is notably exacerbated by what’s happening.
I also recognize how difficult this time is for those with funding already, who are either losing (or under threat of losing) their jobs. It’s no fun.

I have a lot of work in closing stages, and a lot of future ideas for great work that would be a strong addition to a lab.
