Dozens of young girls were swept away in a flood a few miles away, absolutely everything that ever made me feel proud to be an American is being completely destroyed, and I'm spending this holiday weekend in my office revising a paper. What even is this?

Also, seriously, publishing in Open Mind easily involves the least unnecessary BS of any journal I've ever published in.
send your papers to Open Mind!!!
the journal, started by the wonderful Richard Aslin, is leading the way for serious outlets for science that are free to publish in and free to read, funded by universities themselves
I'm not exactly uncritical of harvard — this is SUCH a good use of crimson $$$$

I'm so grateful to the Harvard and MIT libraries, in partnership with @mitpress.bsky.social, for making this happen:
mitpress.mit.edu/cognitive-sc...
I hope this will be the first step towards broader changes in how open access publishing is funded. Tell your libraries to join forces!

I wrote for Newsweek about my experience miscarrying in Texas after Dobbs. Democratic erosion and authoritarianism aren’t abstractions happening elsewhere—my story & that of countless other women are reminders that they happen every day in Texas & in other states.

I miscarried in Texas. My doctors put abortion law first
The pain is so blinding that I think I'm hallucinating. After Dobbs, lawyers, not women's lives, are now the overriding concern.

Beautiful, honest writing about intergenerational trauma and resilience. One of the best personal essays I've read in years.
An incredible, brave, poignant piece by Jenisha Watts, who deserves all the good things. www.theatlantic.com/magazine/arc...
