I’m proud to share last year’s Canadian Political Science Association Presidential address by my wife, Genevieve Fuji Johnson. Using previous Presidential addresses as evidence, she describes how her discipline has improved by including diverse voices.

I wish more prominent scientists would speak out about what is happening under Trump.
Yes, there is a real threat to one's livelihood of doing so. Being a scientist has been my lifelong dream, but there's honest work I can do outside of science, and I'd rather do that than serve the current regime.

My student was doing a literature search and found a 2023 paper in the Nature/Springer Journal of Inorganic and Organometallic Polymers and Materials with figures just screen shot from a 2015 paper in Materials Science in Semiconductor Processing. JUST SCREENSHOT AND PASTED!!

Happy #LGBTQSTEMday! More than a decade (!) ago, I asked a social scientist friend to help build a study of queer identities in science careers after my literature searches came up empty — this year I helped with an evidence review that found SO MUCH on the topic, and still room for more work.
I'm excited to see "Inclusion and Advancement of LGBTQ+ People in STEM Fields" out today — it's a comprehensive evidence review and policy report from a think tank event I joined last year
My quick intro post: lab.jbyoder.org/2024/06/12/p...

Last spring, Washington state passed a bill banning commercial octopus farming.
Today, we (myself and 99 others, led by Jennifer Jacquet, Becca Franks, Peter Godfrey-Smith, and Walter Sanchez-Suarez) have a letter in Science supporting the US OCTOPUS Act, which would do the same nationwide.

Can light spark superconductivity? A new study reignites debate
Brief blasts of light might make some materials into fleeting superconductors. Magnetic measurements strengthen the case for this controversial claim.
