I'm looking for a good resource on the implications on psychometric properties and response patterns when using Strongly Disagree to Strongly Agree vs Never/Rarely/Sometimes/Often/Always Likert scales on surveys. Anyone have anything I should read?

Do I have any Canadian contacts working in the Queer data space that are interested in submitting a grant with me? Must be at a Canadian university. Topic would be gender affirming care in trans individuals. I have a proposal idea.

Feeling especially sad and frustrated with the state of scientific funding in the US right now. It’s devastating that good grants with scientific merit are unfundable because their topics disagree with the politics of administration I know this isnt new but it’s hitting me hard and personally today

As we head into the new year, let's all be gentle with ourselves and our bodies. You are the one who determines your own goals. You are the one who knows what food makes you feel good and nourished. You are the one who gets decide what you eat. Trust yourself.

This is your annual reminder that your body is not a “before picture”. Despite getting bombarded over the next few weeks with advertisements for intentional weight loss, remember that it’s okay, encouraged even, to love yourself no matter how you are and to nourish your body with what it needs.
