WOMEN and FEMALE are red flag words. (Men, male are not on the list). Let that sink in.

🚨BREAKING. From a program officer at the National Science Foundation, a list of keywords that can cause a grant to be pulled. I will be sharing screenshots of these keywords along with a decision tree. Please share widely. This is a crisis for academic freedom & science.

Following a Scientific Role Model A CUNY SPS Alum Reflects Back On Her Extraordinary Educational Journey

Recently sat down with CUNY SPS to reflect on my journey from communications student to research scientist. We discussed how my non-traditional education prepared me for academia, falling in love with science, and my upcoming postdoc.

This is such a good example of how word choice matters! Many people use β€œincrease” and β€œdecrease” when interpreting regression coefficients. I teach that this is unacceptable and misleading when writing about correlational studies. Here’s my writing guide for linear regression osf.io/egm3c

Super helpful! Will reference this when teaching undergraduates!

I’m not sure. To be honest there have been papers I’d love to review but that came at a really busy time and so I’ve had to decline. I’m thinking more about my current workload than the paper’s appeal when I decide whether or not to review.

Guardian article: Why we should take teenage love more seriously

Guardian article: Why we should take teenage love more seriously

I’ve written personal things before, but never about my feelings for someone else. So I’m nervous to have this out today, about a romantic relationship when I was 17.

It had a huge impact on me, for a long time, & I hope this can start a conversation about the significance of teenage love affairs
