When S.O asks, "Are you hungry?" and you aren't, but then he makes delicious smelling food so NOW YOU ARE. 😠

I've been joking about making merch. A few slogans we've been batting around:

"Sunday Night Football, sponsored by whatever you’re drinking to survive Collinsworth."

“Every time Collinsworth talks, a beer gets its wings.”

Collinsworth is so unserious, except when it comes to his devotion to Mahomes. My S.O flipped when he mentioned Mahomes. "Why are you talking about him when the Chiefs aren't playing?!"

Next conference, LMK if you wanna chat horror. I'm a late-comer to the genre & am watching everything that comes out while making my way back in time through the camp, the classic, and the debaucherous.

"Weapons" in the runner-up category surprises me a bit, but I'll wait to see the finalists before I make a judgment.

Good news! Still no solicitation or guidance but as of this morning it seems NSF has moved the deadline into November.

Keep up the pressure!

Sign the letter and leave a comment about what #NSFGRFP means to you.

Jason Williams @jasonwilliamsny.bsky.social · 14d

Please share with anyone who cares about NSF support for graduate students and take 30 seconds to sign and leave a comment.

The deadline for the 2025 Graduate Research Fellowship Program is about one month away and literally no one can apply. #NSFGRFP

I could not agree more on the importance of sharing rigorous null/negative data 👇👇👇

Let's get negative about scholarly publishing – a new paper (first in a long time for me!) on proposals to tackle the problem of publication bias that emerged from a NINDS workshop held in May last year.

"Acetaminophen use during pregnancy was not associated with children’s risk of autism, ADHD, or intellectual disability.... This suggests that associations observed in other models may have been attributable to familial confounding."

Acetaminophen Use During Pregnancy and Children’s Risk of Autism, ADHD, and Intellectual Disability

This nationwide cohort study with sibling control analysis examines the association of acetaminophen use during pregnancy with children’s risk of autism, ADHD, and intellectual disability.

Based on the discourse in our government, I think it's safe to say the Rapture will be delayed with a Continuing Resolution. I think you're safe to submit the grant.

Either PIs are fierce gossips when it comes to good news about their trainees, or I've accidentally favored selectively loquacious mentors. 😜

"The mystery is inherent to the poetic enterprise, which is: How do I say what can't be said?"

Damn, Dave Duchovny, I agree with every word of this.

PBS News @pbsnews.org · Sep 1

Geoff Bennett: You say that poetry is not useful, and that's exactly why we need it. Why?

David Duchovny: "We want to get educated to be able to work, to have a job of some kind, which is great and it's necessary. But we've lost sight of educating a mind on how to think or a soul how to feel."
