Representing @udelaware.bsky.social at the Society for Adolescent Research. August Wei shares new research from the Queer Joy Project on self-affirmation as a positive developmental process for transgender youth.

Who plays a part in positive LGBTQ socialization? In our new study in the US and NZ, queer others were the biggest players in helping LGBTQ+ youth understand their queer identity, especially queer peers, family, teachers, and media. #LGBTQ Read the article👉 www.tandfonline.com/eprint/JSUNR...

These and so so many other grants terminated. So much knowledge blocked. Many jobs eliminated instantly. I’m angry and sad. Sending love and solidarity to colleagues and strangers across the country grappling with nonsense actions of this regime.

Executive wants to frame the NIH indirects cut as $4B in savings. But given that NIH returns $2.5 on every $1 investment, this would actually cost US economy a net $6 BILLION (per year!). Not to mention the human costs of wrecking education and research sectors and the communities they serve.

Today in a college Zoom meeting attended by 95 of my colleagues, my cat jumped onto my laptop and unmuted me, then jumped onto a small collection of potted plants, shattering them, and I groaned/yelped while OFF MUTE. So let’s add that to my list of current work stressors.
