Must read: "Every year you stay in adjunct/postdoc is another year you’re losing money. You’re also further behind your peers who moved directly into industry. They’re learning valuable skills and gaining experience which allows them to advance, take on more responsibility, and earn more money"

I just saw that a colleague’s grant on birth outcomes in Black families was terminated yesterday with what appears to be the same statement. The terminations are spreading and it’s chilling.

Pay attention to what's happening to higher ed in Ohio. New legislation - awaiting the Governor's signature - eliminates all DEI activities on campuses; restricts how faculty teach; bans faculty strikes; and restructures the terms and the mission of each institution’s board of trustees.

pandemic-related stressors are associated with delays in fertility plans... most common rationales for delay:
1 economic worries
2 health worries

New from: @wendymanning.bsky.social @karenguzzo.bsky.social @clairekampdush.bsky.social @gabriellejuteau.bsky.social

My federal grants with @wendymanning.bsky.social and Ann Meier were terminated last week. The language from the termination is below. It has been sad as we are being forced to say goodbye to members of our team. We are figuring out next steps. We remain deeply committed to studying all families.
