Graduate, faculty, and post-doc researchers -- here is one way to communicate out about the value of the work you do in the public interest. ⬇️
Federal research cuts impact local economies, and stall progress.

Publish an opinion piece in your hometown paper on June 16th to SPREAD THE WORD about how scientific research contributes to the everyday health and wealth of the general public.

The controversial executive orders under Trump 2.0 are unique because political wins are their primary objective, and because they appear to be illegal by design, says Kenneth Lowande @umisrcps.bsky.social, an expert on executive power. Will they succeed? ➡️ myumi.ch/nyMm5 #PoliSky

This is honestly the best piece that I’ve seen on what is going on. If we can’t rely on the rule of law to stop this ignorant nonsense, what is left?

Someday, someone will write about how the conflation of university speech with “censorship” was used to mobilize actual government censorship.
When Stanford IT staff and a pro-diversity group shared a list of words they encouraged others not to use, it was national news, despite the fact it never represented campus policy.
When the government erases any mention, data or research related to words, will it be treated as a free speech issue?

One way employers suppress negative info is binding employees to broad nondisclosure clauses. In #MeToo, some states narrowed NDA enforcability.

With Jason & @evanstarr.bsky.social, we show evidence that this increased the flow of negative info onto Glassdoor.
