I’ll tell you this. A favorite campus dining spot closed last semester, with almost no notice. It’s been replaced by a fully automated kiosk. The kids are pissed. Asking all the right questions about labor and human contact and sociality.

Some of the kids are alright.

New study finds that a short game teaching players how to spot manipulation techniques common in vaccine misinformation made them better at recognizing false claims and more cautious about what they shared online.

Funding cuts to PBS and NPR, attempts to stop the Wall Street Journal from publishing, Colbert canceled.

Do not take a free press for granted. We need to fight for it.

Climate policy that ignores mental health is incomplete.
Extreme heat drives anxiety, worsens depression, and puts the most vulnerable at risk—yet barely gets a mention in preparedness plans.

Another day of reminding everyone of Carl Sagan’s eerily accurate warning about the dangers of not being able to ask skeptical scientific questions to those in power or authority.

We are experiencing an assault on science unparalleled by anything I’ve seen in my life. It’s not one issue or another anymore, the entire institution is under attack by the most powerful individuals in the country.

This Friday, where will you be?

A google sheet that is keeping track of graduate admissions freezes and reductions. I cannot vouch for the accuracy of this information, but this is bad.

This will do significant damage to the STEM training and future workforce.

An unverified list of REU & similar summer research cancellations.

About a week ago, I posted on Bluesky about 1 program w/o identifying (it's on this list). Not as long as I thought it would be and I have a few students who have offers for this summer so far.
