Very excited to see this out from @hitop-system.bsky.social! It really seems like these are two literatures poised to advance each other. Looking forward to reading this with my lab.

We’ve just published another video on HiTOP that tries to flesh out a bit more how the framework can be helpful in research: youtu.be/q0jOi_Nl1yo

We hope it’s useful, and are keen to hear any feedback

Thanks again so much to @tashtc.bsky.social for all of her hard work creating this video series ✨

Trump is an absolute evil sack of shit who is decimating higher education in this country. If you’ve said out loud that you’re grateful that your work isn’t being targeted by the current administration, super cringe, and maybe also don’t hold your breath.
Trump Officials Freeze $1 Billion for Cornell and $790 Million for Northwestern
