- Academic friends, if your NSF grants have been terminated by the administration, FABBS is hosting a webinar Friday about appealing the decisions. It's important that as many people appeal as possible to show we're not accepting this targeting of science. Link to the webinar registration is below.
- We were at breakfast yesterday, seated outside, and we kept hearing this. It was very…odd.

- I love this work and theorizing by Crystal Hoyt & Jeni Burnette complicating when and under what conditions fixed and growth mindsets might increase or decrease prejudice. If you're interested in the relationships between mindsets and prejudice, take a look!
- Interesting new paper on growth vs fixed mindsets regarding prejudice journals.sagepub.com/doi/epub/10....
- This is just sickening. Inhumane. Inhuman.
- Today is publication day for @casbsstanford.bsky.social Summer Institute on Diversity alumna @oneyaokuwobi.bsky.social’s terrific book Who Pays for Diversity! I had the pleasure of reading an advance copy and it’s clear to me we need this now more than ever. Pick up your copy today!

- Reposted by Mary C. MurphyInstead of "don't cut our funding," our message should be: hands off higher ed. You want to restrict what professors can say in the classroom? Hands off. You want to ban diversity offices? Hands off. You want to cut our research funding? Hands off. Hands. Off. Higher. Ed.
- Reposted by Mary C. MurphySome higher ed organizations who are loudly circling the wagons against federal funding cuts were oddly silent or circumspect about the earlier attacks on CRT and DEI. I wish there was a better understanding that these attacks are coming because we failed to repel those.

- Ask how many proposals have been set aside- that the panel is not able to review or consider? How were those decisions made? Are there any currently convened panels that would refuse to consider the remainder until the rest of complete, timely-submitted proposals (no matter the topic) are included?
- What can we, as academics, do about NSF & NIH that are now actively discriminating against important scientific research & scholars? My colleague, @lluaces.bsky.social, has a suggestion I really like: *don’t review for them*- at least this cycle while they are setting aside & censoring proposals.

Our goal is to select the books that educate and entice us, surprise and delight us, and leave us smarter, wiser, and better informed about ourselves and our world. behavioralscientist.org/behavioral-s...

- Reposted by Mary C. MurphyI have not seen posts from Harvard faculty weighing in on Claudine Gay so for what it is worth, here is one faculty opinion. I have been a professor here since 1986. She was, by far, the very best dean of Arts and Sciences we have ever had. She was fair, collaborative and yet decisive. 1/n
- I'm thrilled to share that the @NextBigIdeaClub named my book, Cultures of Growth, as one of the most anticipated nonfiction books of 2024! It's going to be a great year! ✨ nextbigideaclub.com/magazine/40-...
- Reposted by Mary C. MurphyCongrats to Jenn Richeson (@jaricheson.bsky.social) for earning APA's Distinguished Scientific Contributions award. Scholars like Dr. Richeson keep social problems such as racism & inequality at the forefront of the intellectual and public discourse. Give her a follow on Bluesky! #PsychSciSky
- It was a pleasure to speak this morning about creating #CulturesOfGrowth in our classrooms @nitopconference (NITOP- National Institute on the Teaching of Psychology)! ✨. And this location is 😍. So excited to kick off the new year with this group!

- Reposted by Mary C. MurphyUniversities will have an even harder time recruiting women and people of color (especially women of color) into administrative positions now… this whole thing is so tragic and racist. All those DEI promises made in 2020 were so empty and it’s still shocking to see how far the white backlash goes
- Our inaugural CASBS Institute on Diversity for early-career, pre-tenure folks studying diversity went so well that we're gonna do it again. The deadline to apply for a slot in the Summer 2024 cohort is January 8, 2024. Go here to join us: stanford.io/46v2Dz4
- Reposted by Mary C. MurphyLet’s be clear: multiple things can be true—one can believe President Gay’s remarks at the hearing were imperfect, that claims of plagiarism are worthy of investigation, and acknowledge that the campaign against her has all the markings of misogynoir and straight up racism. I wish her all the best.
- Reposted by Mary C. MurphyIf you are a college/university administrator, and you don't have a detailed, specific plan for dealing with online campaigns and targeted harassment, you are failing as a leader. And this means educating your Boards on how all this works, too. Lead, don't crumble. Because they'll come for you, too.
