Just noticed that as of May 2025, Coded Bias isn’t available anywhere for streaming. Netflix took it off? Anyone else have knowledge about this?

An absolutely amazing opportunity for senior doc students and postdocs. An opportunity for community and mentorship in academia that includes non-academic career paths in industry, nonprofits, policy, etc.

I have only ever heard fantastic things.

Organized by @luismn.bsky.social and Cecile Sadler

🧪 Tip: You have the right to contest a grant termination, even though NSF says you don't. 🧵

On Friday, NSF terminated 402 grants (per Musk's DOGE).

The notification letters had one of the most egregious violations of fed regulations I've seen so far in these cases:

"not subject to appeal"

Learning Sciences folk, if you’ve used Tanner Vea’s work in your course (e.g., required readings, etc.), do let Tanner know.

A good idea to do for other assistant or associate faculty, as it’s a fantastic way to show impact beyond citation counts or journal quartile.
