Hey. The fragmentation of the social media landscape has been hard on indie #scicomm 🧪 projects
So if you'd like to follow a podcast that's enthusiastic about #linguistics, could you check out @lingthusiasm.bsky.social?
And if you think your followers might like to, could you give this a repost?
For the first time in nearly 20 years of teaching, I showed up to teach a class with the WRONG lecture prepared. The topic of said lecture, "Stress and Sleep", was probably NOT a coincidence #TeachingNightmare #AtLeastIWasntNaked
developmental psychologist Richard Aslin wrote an excellent piece about the proposed cut to NIH F&A Costs (indirects)
Please share Dick Aslin's excellent blog on indirect costs:

Based solely on my immediate world, I’d venture to guess that the majority of folks either don’t know what GitHub is and don’t know what is on the other side of the link. I’m one of two in my department whose lab uses GitHub.
Such a deep loss. She was a great contributor to the community. She will be missed
I have supported many deaf graduate students and currently support a deaf post doc using this mechanism. What’s happening at NIH is terrible for science and closes doors for deaf students who face so many more challenges than their hearing peers
My first thought was …subway???
Kansas has a record breaking Tuberculosis outbreak. You haven’t heard? Maybe bc CDC , NIH and other Health Departments are being muzzled by Executive Order
@ABC @NBC @CNN @cbsnewsconfirmed.bsky.social Where are you?
Agreed! I make so many typos. I hate posting, catching typos, removing post, then reposting. It is a barrier to me more regularly interacting here.
I’m at a SLAC with my own research program and R1 collaborations. My research is niche enough that any well powered result is interesting. But research moves slowly with undergraduates. As a tenured prof, power analyses and research impact drive what projects survive.
Five days away from teaching my first class of the semester. Cue the nightmares about the first day of class 😱 #HigherEd
Right there with you 🫠
I had done this for about five years (pre and post pandemic). It led to many more absences and multiple days when I would have 1/4 of the students absent for discussion classes with enrollment caps of 12 and 25. I now have stiff penalties but with a generous window.
Yes! And there is so much good YA!
I took all social media off of my phone and left myself only with the kindle app. Now when I pick up my phone I only have kindle as a distraction. That was enough to get me hooked back into reading fiction. I now pair my e-reading with the audiobook to extend my reading to commute times.
My instinct is to ignore summer research inquiries written with AI; I assume AI-use reflects an unwillingness to do hard work. Trying to check this bias, as some of these emails are likely written by students from under-resourced backgrounds who are insecure about their writing skills.
It did provide a useful story for my research methods students to emphasize why they shouldn't rely heavily on "as cited in" for their research write ups 😄
Woke up to a notification that one of my papers was cited by a recently published paper. While I'm always grateful for citation of my work--the paper the researchers cited really had very little do to with their point. It was nothing egregious, so do I let the authors know 🤔 #PsychSciSky #devpsych
We’ve got another cohort of amazing Wellesley students to send Kate’s
way!
Excited to read this preprint! I really enjoyed your interview on the under the cortex podcast on this topic #NotIronic
We accumulate leaves by credit. Six semesters of teaching = one semester of sabbatical.
Love this! Sara makes arroz caldo whenever we’re sick! I’m convinced it is a miracle cure!
Back in the day my chair explicitly provided this as a reason not to accept such invitations—but to also list such declined invitations in my materials for tenure and promotion. You get the honor of the invitations while focusing writing energy on what is perceived to be more impactful work.
Would love to be added!
Neat! I’d be curious to know how much school age diagnosis of disorders that include sensory processing issues (e.g., autism, adhd) explain some of this relationship.
Sara posted on IG stories today that DE ACLU only wants to hear from DE residents.
if you are from DE PLEASE sign and indicate that! Please help our community prevent more language deprivation of deaf children.
If you are from our deaf or disabled community please help us get the word out.
I thought I'd share the Boston University Wheelock Deaf Center position statement on the ACLU of Delaware complaint that too many deaf kids are getting the opportunity to go to bilingual schools where they can learn ASL and English 🧵
I've been eagerly anticipating the publication of this fantastic work! (Thanks psyarxiv for the preview.) Kudos to the whole team for the care in data collection, analysis, and interpretation.
