What do we do when a key indicator of research assessment -- federal funding -- is undermined and under threat? The @humetricshss.bsky.social team tackles the question in a recent @lseimpactblog.bsky.social essay.

Associate Dean for Academic Engagement Nicky Agate @terrainsvagues.bsky.social recently posted this op-ed in The LSE Impact blog along with other collaborators from @humetricshss.bsky.social.

The piece addresses the viability of federal funding in the current climate.

Blog Post: "Wholeheartedness in a Time of Fear and Uncertainty," by @cplong.org. humetricshss.org/wholehearted...

A screencap from the blog post linked, which reads, "The great threat to higher education posed by the current actions of the federal administration lies in the pall of fear and uncertainty they cast over our core educational and research activities. Even so, a great opportunity for higher education presents itself here, if, in the face of this fear and uncertainty, we are able to cultivate practices of wholeheartedness rooted in the worthiness of our shared purpose."
