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've reached the time of year where I receive various iterations of the following email: "I almost got the grade that I wanted, but I didn't quite get there. Can you go ahead and just change it for me? OK thx, bye!"

This allows for many civil service positions to replaced with political appointees. This could include NIH institute directors and even POs. BUT THERE IS A COMMENT PERIOD... 1/n

- That last point I've been on a soapbox about for a long time. Just because it's peer-reviewed doesn't mean you should *believe* it now. Most published papers (including my own) have flaws, shortcomings, outright errors, etc. Show me a few replications first and the needle moves a bit

- Reposted by Taraz LeeCan confirm that my NSF grant "How False Beliefs Form & How to Correct Them" was cancelled today because it is "not in alignment with current NSF priorities" Shocking that understanding how people are misled by false information is now a forbidden topic. Our work will continue but at a smaller scale
- NSF has posted an “update on priorities.” They’re canceling all “DEI and misinformation/disinformation” grants. And the guidance on how to fulfill the longstanding, legally mandated Broadening Participation requirement is utterly incoherent. www.nsf.gov/updates-on-p...

- Reposted by Taraz LeeThanks to everyone's feedback, we have updated our calculator to optimize sample size N & scan time T for fMRI studies: leonoqr.github.io/ORSP_Calcula... The first new feature is that users can explore how different N & T leads to different accuracy, e.g., N=1000 & T=30min => 81% max accuracy. 🧵

Lisa Brown, former general counsel at Dept of Ed, will present along with other lawyers. Friday, March 21, 2-3 pm. More info & register here: www.linkedin.com/pulse/regist...

- I’m very excited to finally see this one in print! Led by the incomparable @brissend.bsky.social www.nature.com/articles/s41... We find that cognitive processes (e.g. attention, working memory) undergo error-based adaptation in a manner reminiscent of sensorimotor adaptation. Read on! (1/n)

- "What's the point?" is perfect. The career ambition for me has basically always just been whatever enables me to continue having fun doing science. The science career path definitely involves stress, and it's not like there is a pot of gold at the end it all. You have to be enjoying the journey imo
- Still extremely surreal this thing is sitting in my office. Feeling extremely grateful to @psychonomicsociety.bsky.social and the folks here at UM who nominated me. Congrats again to the other early career awardees! @kimberlychiew.bsky.social @brookemacnamara.bsky.social @amybelfi.bsky.social
