Let’s not forget that Donald Trump threatened to destroy an entire civilization. We move so quickly through our insane new cycles. But this outrage should be a keeper and not cast quickly to the side because Trump again decided not to make good on an absurd and extreme threat.

CSIRO 350 job cuts a damning indictment on Government priorities, misses 'golden opportunity' on research

The announcement this week that CSIRO are to cut 350 research jobs is another damning indictment on Australia’s ongoing failure to prioritise research and development.

Another ~monthly update on the state of the #psychjobs market: more jobs continue to trickle in, though at a decreasing pace. We've nearly hit parity with covid in absolute terms, although the prior year baseline was higher this year than that, so we still see a slightly larger relative decrease.

Mark Thornton@markthornton.bsky.social · 10mo ago

We're a month further into the job market - how are things looking? The good news is that the market does seem to have been delayed: ~150 new listings have appeared since my last post. The bad news is that the total is still substantially lower than what it was during the covid dip.

The psych job market may not be dead... but it is gravely injured 😬 So far it's looking like the Trump administration's attacks on higher ed/research are going to have more than 2x the impact on the job market as the covid-19 pandemic. #psychjobs #neurojobs #academicjobs

Recently did the annual walk through of our totally normal publishing system for my undergraduate research methods students. Never fails to boggle their minds.

Join us next Tuesday, April 22nd at 11:00am EST for a free Earth Day panel discussion on Recycling Archival FIT Neuroimaging Data with @dashiellsacks.bsky.social and Dr. Laura Cabral! Registration is free and open to all at: tinyurl.com/fitngearthday

🚨New paper🚨 EEG frontal alpha asymmetry (FAA) mediated the association between maternal and child internalizing symptoms. 🧠➡️🧠 Greater maternal anxiety/depression at age 3 → more right relative cortical activation (right FAA) at age 5 → child internalizing symptoms at 7. 📖 doi.org/10.1111/jcpp...

Public notice: If you want to read a research article, please don't pay for the paper on the publisher's website. All that money goes to the publisher, we don't get any of it. Instead, contact us. We'll be happy to send you the paper :-). @academic-chatter.bsky.social #OpenScience

Great advice re how to communicate research's value in this thread.

Having funded teams/contracts that required six figure+ funds a few times now, these numbers SOUND really huge in isolation to normal folks but they're not! Don't make floating numbers! I like to say things like this: "A cancer lab is basically a small business, with many jobs created by each grant"
