Wrote about how much I love Carol Cohn to kick off IGCC’s new series

UC Institute on Global Conflict and Cooperation@ucigcc.bsky.social · last yr.

In the first entry of IGCC's new "Then and Now" series, postdoctoral fellow Colleen Larkin reflects on how a provocative 1987 paper titled “Sex and Death” shaped her thinking on the connection between language and nuclear strategy: bit.ly/46vIuvU

Grant cancellations of any kind are terrible and disruptive, but I've been thinking a lot about the compounding effects that cancelling trainee grants will have - so many promising young people left discouraged and (rightfully) contemplating careers outside of science.

Taking a cue from @cantlonlab.bsky.social, I have written an op-ed for my local newspaper about the impact of the NIH funding chaos. I'd appreciate it if you read and share. #NIH #Research #Science #Worcester www.telegram.com/story/opinio...

Opinion/Guest column: Gutting NIH a disaster in the marking for research, local economy

Less research equates to less business between the university and these Worcester companies, spreading the pain far beyond campus borders.

Very disappointing that the annual NIH/FDA Rare Disease Day event was postponed, which brings together researchers, policymakers, physicians, and families to improve patient treatments and experiences (and was a favorite event of mine as a post bac researcher) ncats.nih.gov/news-events/...

We do not have to sit alone in inaction. If you are in the New Haven area join the Day of Action rally as part of the labor4highered.org events. Show your support for research and education. Bring a friend!

First Murphy lab sponsored event! Pizza and calling representatives. Doing it together is a great way to build community and solidarity!
