In today’s edition of science research matters…

Seven of the sources cited in MAHA commission's report do not exist: “The paper cited is not a real paper that I or my colleagues were involved with," says one researcher. www.notus.org/health-scien...

This is devastating to research and innovation across disciplines.

Nature reports that the National Science Foundation has stopped awarding new grants and allotting funds to existing ones. All of them. @colincarlson.bsky.social says that unless the freeze is lifted, it “is going to destroy people's labs.” 2/10 www.nature.com/articles/d41...

40% of NSF terminations have been STEM education (including 1 of my projects). Consider the implications of defunding research on “how to improve the teaching of math and science, with the goal of expanding the number of future scientists who will fuel the U.S. economy.” @jillbarshay.bsky.social

The latest cuts at NSF targeted education research h/t @dangaristo.bsky.social and @noamross.net hechingerreport.org/proof-points...

Taking a break from general doom to celebrate a milestone birthday with those I love. Made even sweeter by an epic cameo message from @katetscott.bsky.social with a good reminder to persist in spaces not meant for us. ❤️

Very helpful info for those with NSF funding!

NSF grantees and awardees can learn from a *new report* how they might respond to grant changes like termination! 🔬 Like @davidimiller.bsky.social says, prepare now. I helped edit this with the amazing @isaackamola.bsky.social at AAUP and other great colleagues. Posted w/ other CDAF resources here:

Welp, my work was among those stolen for this.

NEW: LibGen contains millions of pirated books and research papers, built over nearly two decades. From court documents, we know that Meta torrented a version of it to build its AI. Today, @theatlantic.com presents an analysis of the data set by @alexreisner.bsky.social. Search through it yourself:

Oh good, it’s “an “idea lab” that will contribute to developing the capabilities and characteristics of effective leadership, while further studying the critical role basic principles of limited government, rule of law, and free enterprise play in supporting individual freedom and leadership.” 🎻🔥

We're in a 🎵 constitutional crisis 🎵 but at least we will have a new institute for leadership and free enterprise at the 🎵 business school 🎵 www.udel.edu/udaily/2025/...

If you work in higher education in the US, now is the time to join the AAUP. Your campus doesn’t even need to have a chapter, you can join the National org. @aaup.bsky.social

This thread nails it.

The goal here isn't to make public schools more conservative-friendly. The goal is to dismantle public schooling by driving families and teachers away.

Encouraging journalists to go to the experts here.

If any reporters need an expert opinion on the new EO, please reach out to the Education Law Association. They can connect you to the right people. www.educationlaw.org

We knew this was coming but it’s no less awful.

Here it is. This is abominable.

This is an incredible way to end a semester. ❤️

Grades are finalized. I asked students to write about what they think they were supposed to learn this semester. Then we did an email to home adults. In every class, I wrote to my own home adults and cc’d my students. I’ve written every assignment with them; I wasn’t going to stop today. #EduSky

Green slides that read
Question(s) on your paper:
What were you supposed to learn?
Did you learn it?
Why?
Why not?
How?
How not?
Wednesday, December 18, 2024
Today, your assignment is to email your home adult with the following information:
• Tell them how you're doing mentally, physically, emotionally, etc. Overall, how was this semester?
• Transition into telling your home adult about your 1301 experience.
How was it over all?
• What was your favorite text?
Why?
• What's the best thing you wrote/spoke?
Why?
• Explain what you think you were supposed to learn in 1301 and if you learned it or not.
Why/why not?
Lastly, tell your home adult at least ONE THING you're proud of for the whole semester. It can be personal, school related, etc.
• Make sure to cc Mrs. Bond!

There’s a picture of a brochure that has the steps for how to email

Happy self-evaluation season to all who celebrate. www.mcsweeneys.net/articles/a-f...

Bluesky academics, let's get to know each other! Quote this & tell me: 1) a project you are working on & 2) an odd idea/theory you aren't working on but keep thinking about. Here's mine: 1) supporting tchrs to enact more equitable math teaching 2) teachers’ principled resistance to curric change

Bluesky academics, let's get to know each other! Quote this & tell me: 1) a project you are working on & 2) an odd idea/theory you aren't working on but keep thinking about. Here's mine: 1) teacher professionalism and labor 2) the conceptualization and normalization of conspiracy theories

This site already seriously delivering! This is very cool and helpful

NSF makes you say who you got conflicts (coauthored) with. We (really just Jordan Matelsky) just built you a tool for that. Literally one click: bib.experiments.kordinglab.com/nsf-coa

Just in case this is helpful for anyone else

Yes! The SkyFollowerBridge extension for Chrome or Firefox will match up your Twitter follows/followers with folks here

Left the other place today. Feels like such a small act but I couldn’t justify it (or stomach it) anymore.

Posting again because there’s just about a week left to apply! Come be my colleague. Happy to chat if folks have questions.

So excited and proud of Matthew Shaw!

Incredibly stoked to see this well-deserved recognition for Matthew Shaw law.vanderbilt.edu/news/matthew...

👋🏻 Erica Litke, associate professor of math ed, also interested in ed policy and equitable classroom practices. I post a lot about Philly sports (go Union) and love talking math with kids.
