If you are applying for grad school, I recommend you build time into your process to get feedback on your materials from someone with experience evaluating application documents.

I love a good bunt
This game is like I got caught smoking a baseball and now I have to smoke a whole pack of baseball
This is half a mile from my home, and also immediately next to an elementary school. Is there any oversight? Will there be any consequences for this recklessness and cruelty?
We're a month further into the job market - how are things looking? The good news is that the market does seem to have been delayed: ~150 new listings have appeared since my last post. The bad news is that the total is still substantially lower than what it was during the covid dip.
"we will not stop...We will continue to pursue research questions at the heart of diversity science even as they wain in popularity within the field. We do this, not because we are naïve, but because these questions and this work matters to us and to the communities we care about."

Even though I am a vegetarian, I gravitate towards vegan cookbooks. Here are my favorites
- Vegan Brunch by Isa Chandra Moskowitz
- Big Vegan Flavor by Nisha Vora
- Mildred’s Easy Vegan
Some promising trends in the psychology replication crisis since 2004:
- Fewer studies publish weak p values (.01 < p < .05)
- Studies with weak p values are less likely to get cited
- The % of weak p values (26%) is now roughly what we would expect from studies with 80% power.

I have followed Sam’s work for years. Even though I never met him, he has been a huge influence on my career. He will be missed.
TFW someone in your family has died, and you're out in public -say, the supermarket- and you look around in awe as everyone else seems to be living their lives as if nothing's happened, while you feel shattered and deep grief.. well, that's precisely how I feel about #democracy in the US right now 💔
Hi everybody! Don't forget to folllow up with the people you made connections with at @spspnews.bsky.social! It's not scary-- just email them!

Town hall meeting text bubbles
Western Massachusetts folks:
I asked Congressman Richard Neal last week when he is planning on having a town hall to discuss what he is doing in DC to fight Trump’s actions. I just received a call from him saying he is having a phone town hall tomorrow:

I am worried that scientists will self-censor and not share their work because they view it as trivial relative to what is going on
But let's not participate in the destruction of science.
Please share your work unapologetically and share others' work
Science matters; your science matters!
Elon Musk is an unelected billionaire. He should not have access to or control over trillions in Treasury payments. From Social Security, to Medicare, and even tax refunds, this is the American people’s money.
They could have gotten sooooo much more if they officially shopped him. This feels like a mid-night snack.
Might as well eat the cheese stick, much easier than making myself a full meal 😂
