Proud of my @casbsstanford.bsky.social friend and colleague presenting his path breaking research @stanfordpsy.bsky.social today!

Excited to share a new paper in @nature.com (www.nature.com/articles/s41...)

‘I really wanted something to happen.’ The students behind the Stand Up for Science protests New group hopes to turn out researchers for 7 March demonstrations against Trump administration policies

Scientists are now organizing events, called Stand Up for Science, on 7 March in Washington, D.C., and state capitals.

So far, they have attracted more than 100 volunteers from some 30 states who are hoping to rally support for research as a public good. scim.ag/4328LAD

Author Dava Sobel joins us to discuss Marie Curie and the women she mentored.

Thanks for reading, Ann!

How do you keep participants from using AI rather than answering open-ended survey questions in their own words? Create some friction.

Katie Kroeper describes disabling cut-and-paste in Qualtrics as a way of creating barriers to the use of AI:

What 9,000 articles reveal about gendered narratives in political campaigns Recent research looks at the direct and subtle ways gender is discussed in media coverage of candidates.

How does the media directly or indirectly reference gender in other election settings, where women candidates are less novel? Read MSIRA fellow @kafei0220.bsky.social's @3streamsblog.bsky.social post about a recent article in Political Research Quarterly: medium.com/3streams/is-...
