Last Friday, I offered my students different levels of extra credit if 80%, 90%, and 100% of them completed the course evaluation. By this morning, they managed to hit 100%. I never thought that would happen 🤣

THIS IS ONE NEURON! Jaw dropping.
It distributes a particular neurotransmitter (norepinephrine) across the mouse brain; it’s a locus coeruleus neuron.

It’s 9am TFT time here, and citizens are already gathering to protest Tariffs by the United States. Our plain clothes Officer Penguins are attempting to maintain calm, but unfortunately we keep losing them in the crowd.

Today my students presented fake campaign ads for both parties with emotional rhetoric. I let them use real or fake politicians resulting in a fantastic ad that juxtaposed Trisha Paytas vs The Rizzler on the issue of gun control. If you let students be creative, they will entertain you every time.

“Political” is one of the terms, so I guess my entire discipline of political science can be just completely excluded from NSF funding. Insane.
🚨BREAKING. From a program officer at the National Science Foundation, a list of keywords that can cause a grant to be pulled. I will be sharing screenshots of these keywords along with a decision tree. Please share widely. This is a crisis for academic freedom & science.

Made the mistake of wearing a white and green rugby shirt today, thinking it was giving “sports chic”. As soon as I walk in to start class a student says “Have you ever seen Blues Clues?” Then I realize I’m actually twinning with Steve. The student did say it was a vibe though.

A new @reuters.com poll finds Americans have a dim view of many of the Trump administration's blizzard of executive actions, including the Jan. 6 pardons and his effort to limit birthright citizenship.
But they *really* don't like the Gulf of America thing.

Read this piece by my friend, Stewart. He's on the job market and has great insights on the presidency!
Pres. Biden started his term slow to use the clemency power but left office as the modern president who used it the most. His legacy may be overshadowed by these pardons more than any his accomplishments. I wrote about it for the LSE USAPP blog: blogs.lse.ac.uk/usappblog/20...
President Biden’s extensive pardons may overshadow the rest of his legacy
In the final days of his presidency, Joe Biden pardoned nearly 2,500 people in the biggest act of clemency in presidential history. Stewart Ulrich writes that Biden’s use of this presidential power…

NIH appears to have canceled/postponed all of its study sections—the independent review panels that approve federal grants for health research.
Such grants fund the work/salaries of 300k people at more than 2,500 institutions

All NIH study sections canceled indefinitely. This will halt science and devastate research budgets in universities.

Huge night here at NYU. An undergrad trying to fix their grade accidentally discovered how to email 11,000 instructors on a secret group email list, unifying the faculty like no one before. I have hundreds of email replies in my inbox. And apparently Onions, the puppy, has just been granted tenure.
Someone just sent a photo of their dog, Onions, to an 11,000 person faculty listserv, adorable

“Don’t feed the trolls” also extends to bad opinion pieces in papers of record.
They run them bc people react to them the most.
If we stop linking to bad columns and instead post thinkers we find valuable (& generate convo around it), incentives change.
It’s not easy and takes constant practice!

I underestimated how hard it would be to determine how I wanted to setup my Political Psychology class. I know all of the topics, main points and literature I want to use, it’s just the order that I can’t figure it. I think my syllabus is fighting back and it’s currently winning.
