I submitted two grants in the last two weeks to programs whose future is uncertain.

I agreed to give two zoom talks about my research and somehow conflated emails about one of them with the other one.

And 4/5 of my household is sick including me, hopefully that's why I screwed up 🫠

Just an fyi that the DOE launched a website enddei.ed.gov
where you can report schools.

See press release here: www.ed.gov/about/news/p...

Reddit is having a field day with it!
WASHINGTON – Today, the U.S. Department of Education launched EndDEI.Ed.Gov, a public portal for parents, students, teachers, and the broader community to submit reports of discrimination based on race or sex in publicly-funded K-12 schools. The secure portal allows parents to provide an email address, the name of the student’s school or school district, and details of the concerning practices. The Department of Education will use submissions as a guide to identify potential areas for investigation. “For years, parents have been begging schools to focus on teaching their kids practical skills like reading, writing, and math, instead of pushing critical theory, rogue sex education and divisive ideologies—but their concerns have been brushed off, mocked, or shut down entirely,” said Tiffany Justice, Co-Founder of Moms for Liberty. “Parents, now is the time that you share the receipts of the betrayal that has happened in our public schools. This webpage demonstrates that President Trump’s Department of Education is putting power back in the hands of parents.”

What social media platforms are college students on? Not for leisure but for grad school/jobs/career advice.

Trying to tell them about a Quant Methods Info Session. Aside from emailing departments (we're doing that too), how can I reach these folks?
