(1) Continue to speak up about the value of science and U.S. government funding in science — e.g. about how investments in science drive technological innovation, lead to treatments and cures for diseases, etc. Speaking up can take a lot of forms. Every conversation matters.

Let's be clear about who some of these folks are and what their public positions have been - like Burke's position that women should not be seeking graduate degrees (and that gov't should not support them in doing so) www.heritage.org/education/re...

I was on ours and we decided who was on things like the college p&t committee. Actually a pretty impactful group despite the silly name.

I think it’s also in part because if your motivation is “do good steady science even if it doesn’t lead to fame”, fraud can’t help you do that, whereas if the goal is prestige and renown…

I called this "Cinderella at the grocery store" to students-- i.e., probably at some point in the whole stepmother-fairy godmother-ball-shoe-prince business, Cinderella went to the grocery store and brushed her teeth, but that's not part of the story. Just because it's true doesn't mean it belongs.

Similarly: In general, you almost never need to say "research has found that..."-- that's what the citation establishes. Likewise "we suggest/think/propose" -- yes, that's how the idea got into the manuscript. Cutting those almost always helps the writing feel crisper and more active.

I like this as a kinder version of Hemingway's 'kill your darlings' advice.

Justin Kruger told me as a grad student "Clarity is always in the eye of the reader. You can't argue if someone says 'this is unclear'."

Thanks!

Yes, sorry, meant the latter -- and that had been my guess, so glad to have the confirmation. (Though good to know it can support virtual interaction too!)

Thank you!

(1) Does Inquisit work for online studies? (No subject pool= mostly remote participants) (2) How does your group work on PsychoPy collaboratively? Is that even possible?

Yes, those are things we already do on Qualtrics. We're up for renewal and researching options for competitors. :-)

Not sure this is what you’re looking for but one illustrator friend came to mind: dannydufford.com

Feminist social epistemology teaches us that diversity is a *requirement* for scientific excellence. We need each other to know the world. We need each other to solve the thorny problems that threaten our existence. Knowing the world is a group project, and everyone has something to contribute.
