We are delighted to share an essay by Alma Schrage that was originally published in 'Uncharted How scientists navigate their own health, research and experiences of bias'. Alma describes the challenges and joys of field work and conferences during graduate school.

In this wonderful new post, engineering professor Tim Anderson describes some delightful ways that his hearing loss has provided him problem solving opportunities and connection with others.
"Being a deaf or hard of hearing person was not something that we chose but integrating that into our core sense of self is. " - Leslie Frazier
A new The Mind Hears profile is out! Meet Dr. Tim Anderson from Portland State University and learn about his twisty travails as engineering faculty and chair with hearing loss. In the process you may discover if he talked to a robot. Or was it his wife? themindhears.org/2025/06/26/p...
In this post reprinted from Talk Psych Blog, Dave Myers shares his experience and recommendations. The bio at the bottom has links to Dave's other writings on deafness. themindhears.org/2025/06/05/h...
How do releasing bends evolve in weaker crust? Lots of sinistral cross faults!! (compare to previous post)
Gabriel, Alana, Hanna M. Elston, Michele L. Cooke and Christ F. Ramos Sánchez, 2025, Impact of material strength on style of faulting at releasing bends, Tektonika, doi.org/10.55575/tek...
Green - normal faults; Blue = dextral strike-slip; pink = reverse faults and yellow (hard to see and only at the 'north end of one of the normal faults) = sinistral shear
Development of an experimental releasing bend shows significant strain partitioning on faults.

Temblor CEO Ross Stein, Paul Segall, Greg Beroza, and Ahmed Elbanna are urging Congress to reauthorize the National Earthquake Hazards Reduction Program and the National Volcano Early Warning System.

Camera is pointed upwards next to the trunk of an American Chestnut tree. Many serrated leaves in the fore and background with blue skky beyond.
Bruce, one of my American Chestnut trees, is looking strong. There is a metaphor in this photo of a tree that is vulnerable to blight that has wiped out its species (another chestnut sapling in my yard has cankers) and still grows strong and tall.

Incremental dilational and vorticity strain maps that show the complex growth of faults at releasing bends.
Former UMass undergrad, Alana Gabriel led this study that came out today. Great job Alana! 🎉

If you have been wondering how strike-slip faults evolve in the presence of pre-existing weaknesses, wonder no more. We got you!
Yup, the early slip along the weaknesses increase strike-slip fault roughness, just like you thought.
(Check out the cute ephemeral sinistral connector fautls in red!)
incremental vorticy - need to adjust the animation so that color bar is bigger.
Sometimes when things get tough, I like to watch strike-slip faults grow.
Over and over again.
A victory for the federal scientific workforce! We could not stand by while this irreparable harm continues at NSF, NOAA and all our scientific agencies.
TODAY the judge granted our request to temporarily HALT the mass firings at federal agencies under Trump’s Executive Order.
Hello astronomers! I'm thrilled to share my newest article, "Including Deaf and Signing Audiences in Solar Eclipse Outreach and Astronomy Education," which was just published in the Bulletin of the AAS. I'm thankful to my wonderful coauthors...

Also @atomichands.bsky.social are deaf scientists
Yes. 🖐️Please send more details.

Still sleeping. One has blight. It others are ok. Will report when they wake up.
In 3 of 4 interviews today about the Portsmouth earthquake I mentioned the need for federal funding of science to understand earthquakes. Only one story by @masslive.bsky.social published that part of the interview. Thanks massLive and Will Katcher for a nice report!

Bruce has slender tendrils with rows of flower buds.
Margaret is over 6 feet and lots of leaves.
🎉My 3 year old American Chestnut is growing flowers! 🎉Btw His name is Bruce. His sibling Margaret does not have flowers but she is looking grand.
Wonderful and thoughtful The Mind Hears post by Ana Caicedo about her self advocacy journey. Finding our community is critical for building resilience. themindhears.org/2024/05/01/m...
Who sends email on Saturday morning setting up a meeting for 9 am Monday?
Academics, thats who.
Yes, I was the academic who checked their email Saturday morning and accepted the calendar invite. I am part of the problem.
Just filled out demographic information for an NSF project. Many of the demographic choices need updates! Why still only binary genders?
For disability status I chose 'Deaf or serious difficulty hearing'
srsly? Um yes, I do have serious difficulty with situations designed only for hearing people.
