BREAKING: A federal judge in Massachusetts (the Reagan-appointed William Young) has declared the Trump administration's cuts to NIH grants — ostensibly over Trump's EOs on gender ideology and DEI — are "illegal" and "void." He's ordering many grants restored.

Just a reminder that everything you trust us with is only ever processed by humans, and no part of anything we do involves AI/LLMs. You deserve high quality transcripts that don’t get scanned and stolen to train AI.
🚨PSA for anyone using GPT in human subjects research🚨

A judge has ruled that OpenAI must retain ChatGPT and API data indefinitely, with few exceptions.

This might have implications for your IRB compliance and the security of your participants' data. 1/

We worked with Dr.Wingfield ona project years ago. She’s wonderful, and I’m not at all surprised to see her name on this.
Thank you to the American Sociological Association ✊

We’ve had to take other jobs to make ends meet because of the absolute mess going on around research and grants. We’re still doing this, it just might take a little longer to answer emails, so please bear with us. You and your work matter.

8/8. So, if you’re feeling down about these attacks, I understand—I feel that way too. But just remember that they’re not attacking because your work doesn’t matter; they’re attacking *precisely* because it does. So, get some rest, connect with your people, and keep doing it.

The International Sociological Association (ISA) deeply mourns the tragic passing of Michael Burawoy, a leading sociologist, Professor of Sociology at UC Berkeley, and the 17th President of ISA. Michael was fatally struck in a hit-and-run accident on February 3rd. His loss is immeasurable.

Attacks on higher ed are also attacks on the economy. Pass it on.

The state of federal research funding is obviously not great right now. If your budget falls a little short, never hesitate to reach out and see if we can help figure something out. Fingers crossed for everyone out there whose projects just got tossed up in the air.

Also looking forward to seeing where many of the people we’ve worked with over the years have ended up. A lot of you have wound up doing some pretty amazing things.

Hello! Excited to connect with more researchers on a new platform. Just wanted to get a first post up to let people know that, yes, we are real.
