Hi y'all! I haven't been on bsky for 6 months, so if you would like to ban me from anything please e-mail me at work. (<firstname>.<lastname>@<university>.edu)
That is likely to be legally effective.
Thanks, Anne
Hi Everyone. This was just published on the "Conversation" website. An important discussion of "who owns history".

This framing of "dependence" is fucking propaganda. The whole point of the federal government is to build and maintain national institutions that promote public health, education, scientific advancement, etc. The implication here is that those functions are a matter of private not public concern.
Just _regular_ editing would do the trick. Good Lord that man never met a red pen.
How bad is it if I admit I'm more interested in meeting the fake dire wolves than I am in meeting George RR Martin?

I mean, there are worse things to fangirl about.
I never thought of this as a TYPEface because I actually did engraving with it in my early 20's as part of a job making museum plaques. Also because it's the first handwriting I learned in school I don't think it's weird. I do think this author is really young, though!
There's this in my town too, and they both park in the same driveway. Pretty sure it's NOT that both spouses wanted cybertrucks.
I was wondering whether they were actually reading these and disallowing funding for activities in "Broader Impacts" sections. Looks like it. OMG the postdocs denied b/c the summary says they will receive implicit bias training!
It's amazing to me how many people and orgs are ready to erase history just because someone tells them to. "No," is a whole sentence, that's what I was taught.
Of course erasing history holds a special horror if one is a paleontologist. 🫢
Proud of The Paleontological Society for their commitment to diversity & inclusion, which includes a proactive diversity-inclusion committee & useful resources to help advance these causes, all to the benefit of our science & the people who do it. Their statement: www.paleosoc.org/diversity-an...
It's actually theft of taxpayers money when websites go dark. We paid for that data
heard someone suggest 2025 might be five 2020s stacked in a trenchcoat and i can't stop thinking about it
Just got a story approved to run on Monday on the crisis happening at the NSF.
If you are an NSF-funded scientist and have been personally impacted by the funding pause this week, I'd love to hear from you.

I decided to "pause" and do my laundry.
If you outlaw the teaching of evolution only outlaws will teach evolution.🦹
I want to make this clear: diversity is extremely popular. THAT is what they’re furious about. They lost that battle in the culture and want to reverse it by force.

#FossilFriday #ostracod 3D printed at 100x. When I screenwash for mammal teeth I find a huge variety of fossils, including this one. It's the best way to learn about the whole ecosystem.
J of P is far from the only journal with the problem of disappearing Supp. Info. It makes me nervous about electronic-only publications in general; how available will they be in a decade?
Well, no. The actual order reads "at conception," at which point one has a Y chromosome or not, and no anatomy to speak of, and that Y chromosome doesn't guarantee anatomy... So I guess we're all just humans. Which is great.
If people want to write their senators this site has info on how much economic impact NIH has in each state:

Shutting down medical research — not just within NIH, but everywhere that’s funded by NIH — will have long-term effects on medicine & short-term effects on state, higher education & hospital budgets. This affects all of us, not just researchers.
Because THIS. I have soooo many colleagues working on NIH proposals right now.

Thanks! I've been here for a bit, but not regularly. I loved Twitter and it was hard to let go all the way.😒
That's it, I'm not even lurking on Twitter any more. Account closed. I'm done. Nobody pulls out that "Roman" salute and has my account lending to their cred.
