Explored the Jewish Museum and (still operational) synagogue in Belmonte, Portugal. It hit me after that there was no police or security presence at all. We were welcomed in both places- no id checks or anything. I can't remember the last time I went to a synagogue that open and accessible.
FIFA out here FIFA-ing (not mad about it this time)
A suspiciously favorable administrative decision means we're a real soccer country now.
Wrote up a little newsletter about why people should go see "Supergirl" -- and watch "Sorry, Baby" and "Is God Is" "They’re all very different films, but they all grapple with what it means to embrace life under the totalitarian horror of misogynist violence." news.chanda.science/archive/you-...
You should go see Supergirl
It's pop art that is unapologetically political.

Was reviewing video of some old talks, and was reminded of @raulpachecovega.bsky.social's generosity - he took the time to attend a talk I gave in 2022 on translational research and kicked off the discussion with the first question. May his memory continue to be a blessing. youtu.be/VhfVzjygSLE?...

I've seen a lot of info for specialized audiences (e.g. scientists, non-profits) on how to comment on the proposed OMB rule change for grants, but less for the general public. So I made this one-pager that can be shared more widely. docs.google.com/document/d/e...
We also saw similar decreases in scholarships for our students in NYU's MPA/MA in Jewish Studies dual degree. Struck me as hyper focused and responsive to a specific moment, to the detriment of Jewish communal leadership long term. Great observations here. ejewishphilanthropy.com/bronfman-fel...

Absolutely gutted. He was one of the most generous scholars in the profession. May his memory be for a blessing.
Buen camino, profe Raúl Pacheco Vega. Fuiste y serás siempre el investigador más chido.
The court didn't limit the use of race. Whiteness is a race. They just elevated whiteness as credential. I will call this out on every headline I see with this framing.

My alma mater Ohio State, where I earned two degrees, did the same thing.
Making tenure count, for MSNOW I wrote about my employer, The University of Iowa, creating a center for intellectual freedom. It's a reactionary project built on decades of conservative propaganda about higher ed.

Humanity did that. Science did that. Publicly-funded research did that. Excellent universities did that. Diversity did that. International cooperation did that. Artemis II is a perfect example of what we can do at our best. Welcome home, Integrity crew!

New pub w/ Laila Gozzi & Ellen Loots. We analyze how earned revenue embeddedness (connex between earned income & mission) relates to arts nonprofits' financial independence. Key finding: embeddedness & financial independence are positively related; thus; mission & money can be mutually reinforcing.
Sat down to prep this week's classes, saw this theme on the syllabus: formal policy actors and the separation of powers

I think I entered it three times- and even checked a dictionary- because I was so convinced it should have been there.
Online NYT Spelling Bee discourse is 100% “how dare they have [some word I don’t know] but not [some word I do know]” Karen behavior. But this one raised my eyebrows a little. It’s a pangram!
Bill is speaking in my class in March (thanks @joshshepperd.bsky.social for the connection). He already took the time to talk with me about the class, what might resonate with students ... I'm so excited.
Legendary founder of NPR programming Bill Siemering is enjoying Zoom visiting with students so much that he's asked me to put a second call out. No honorarium necessary. Any takers?
Hi #academicsky - I am teaching an undergrad politics of public policy course. I have a section on informal policy actors. A student asked for recommendations re: labor unions. Anyone have any resources (podcast, reading, video...)? Think intro level.....

Bad Bunny's historical advisor is an assistant professor at UW-Madison. Hell of a flex for your tenure file.
Not at all surprised to learn that Bad Bunny has a historical adviser. His halftime show was a reminder that our history and culture are deeply intertwined with the rest of the western hemisphere. We should think of his performance as part of #America250. #SuperBowl news.wisc.edu/pop-star-bad...
Benito is a threat b/c he makes art so alluring and enjoyable you want to understand everything about it and then you end up learning about sugar and slavery and colonialism and the Taínos and Hawaii and then you probably have some thoughts of your own, and that's why art is powerful and dangerous
The chaos and politicization of the vital Nonprofit Security Grant Program by the Trump admin is deeply dangerous — from the delayed rollout, to confusing & contradictory guidance, to new conditions that force communities to choose between their values and their security. www.jta.org/2026/02/05/p...

After months of inquiries from Jewish groups and lawmakers, the federal government has yet to clarify whether immigration and DEI policies could affect synagogue security funding.
