no funding if it seems like the research MIGHT involve a woman or a nonwhite person
🚨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.

It's not unreasonable to want answers immediately from the President about why an Army helicopter was in front of a commercial jetliner, and to demand concrete steps to prevent it from happening again.
Buck stops with him. Or is he too busy with golf, EOs, and fake bribery settlements?

They want to ban the teaching of the unpleasant facts of American history because people might conclude injustices in the past that contribute to inequalities in the present should be rectified, instead of their belief, which is that some groups of people are inherently superior to others

How to build connections for social change according to Robert Putnam:
1) go young
2) go local
3) go moral
This means:
Get young people to get involved (in person) on local causes because they feel an obligation to do something.

Fact-checking wasn’t “biased” against conservatives. Conservatives just shared more false content. If there’s a sportsball game and one team fouls four times as much, it’s not “biased” for the ref to call four times as many fouls against that team.
🚨In Nature🚨
Meta is dropping fact-checking to avoid anti-conservative bias- but is there actually evidence of bias?
We this test empirically & find that conservatives
* ARE suspended more
* BUT share more misinfo
So suspension isn't necessarily evidence of bias www.nature.com/articles/s41...

Can facts ever change minds on immigration? I was skeptical—until working w. @landgravephd.bsky.social changed my own mind.
Our new paper shows most Americans underestimate how difficult the US legal immigration process is. Sharing facts on policy makes people more positive:

Income inequality CAN’T be used to justify racism, transphobia,and misogyny.
Moving towards equality feels like oppression for people who have benefited from privilege. We can seek to understand this feeling but CAN’T justify a reality existing only in the imaginations of cult-prone people.
