apparently a white nationalist volunteered as a spotter at the International Powerlifting Federation world champs and deliberately sabotaged Sonita Muluh's world record attempt, and then outed himself as such online. what an era www.instagram.com/reel/DbRNrD_...

Immigrants and asylum seekers are being made to travel hours to El Paso from across the southwest for their check-ins with ICE. These trips often end with them being placed under surveillance with an ankle monitor. These visits are causing fear and anxiety for them and their loved ones. My story:

Immigrants are traveling hundreds of miles to El Paso for ICE check-ins

Immigrants with scheduled ICE check-ins are being forced to travel from across the Southwest to El Paso for their check-ins.

Interesting use of my work in a new paper. Authors use well-established finding that ideology is weaker predictor of party id among Black Ams than among White Ams as benchmark for sample quality. Representative samples recover that pattern. Less rep. samples do not. www.nature.com/articles/s41...

Yale is hiring in developmental psychology (open rank )! We're especially interested in complementing and broadening our area, including via somewhat less traditionally central such as cross-cultural and comparative approaches. Feel free to reach out with questions!

Also, something isn’t groundbreaking just because it’s contrarian. Some thoughts are against the grain because they are ill conceived.

Not to mention the millions of international faculty who are afraid to post or say anything critical of the government for fear of their immigration status. Somehow that never seems to enter the national discourse on free expression ....

Actual faculty getting silenced and fired for their work from the right, and the big issue for a whole bunch of the commentariat is whether there is political discrimination against imagined faculty.

NAS should request the qPCR data on the Cyclospora from FDA. Play hardball. If they are all about open data, let's see their data that they apparently misinterpreted.

When journalists asked me "where we will see the effects of DOGE on outcomes?" one of my responses was "during crises...as long as media connect the dots." Well, dots connected: www.wired.com/story/cdc-cy...

“Based on simple math, these outbreak responses—which require rapid, timely responses—are going to be greatly diminished,” the former CDC lab director tells WIRED.

Here's the way around having to pretend that Mitch McConnell is not dead, if that is indeed the case. We should all agree on this point: if Mitch McConnell can't be wheeled to a podium for a live press conference to speak, then he is not competent to serve. newrepublic.com/post/213199/...
