Coming back from maternity leave is i-n-t-e-n-s-e ... but no surprise, the lab killed it over the summer while I was gone, and we are back baby! 🚨Stay tuned for some threads on new publications🚨

U.S. Census Bureau's decades long with falling public participation in surveys and trust in government is now compounded by DOGE's handling of data. Distrust in how government uses data is higher among people of color, which can lead to selection bias and skewed data. myumi.ch/jJVMG
How DOGE's push to amass data could hurt the reliability of future U.S. statistics
DOGE's murky push to amass data at federal agencies could hurt the U.S. government's ability to produce reliable census results, economic indicators and other statistics in the future, experts warn.

Cutting $20 billion to NIH over 25 years may save $500 billion on paper, but it’d end up costing $8.2 trillion in lost human health.

But NIH isn't the only thing being cut. The budget also slashes all NSF-funded science by 73 percent. NASA faces “the biggest single-year cut to NASA in history."
Donald Trump’s proposed budget would gut American science
It would slash cancer research, drug trials, space exploration, and so much more.

🚨 A new rule would let career scientists like NSF/NIH program officers be replaced by political appointees

Already 14,000+ public comments, deadline is Friday

📣 Comments can be short. Courts consider them—and scientists with NSF/NIH experience are especially impactful

Speak up! shorturl.at/WKuBj

"Americans who make less than $51,000 a year would see their after-tax income fall as a result of the Republican proposal beginning in 2026."

"Americans making less than $15,000 — the poorest of the poor — will pay 53% more in taxes than they do now

Opinion | Trump’s White House accidentally admitted the truth about its tax plan
Earlier this week the White House published evidence that the president’s “big, beautiful bill” hikes taxes on the poor to cut taxes for the rich.

"Imagine the auto industry without 3D printing. NSF funded that. Artificial intelligence? NSF. MRI machines that help doctors diagnose you? NSF. Doppler radar technology that makes aviation safer by conquering wind shear? NSF. Duolingo‘s underlying programming? NSF. The internet itself? NSF."

Fellow authors, I love you, and I know it feels like we don’t have a choice, but B&N and Am*zon both scheduled sales this week to preempt Independent Bookstore Day, a hugely vital source of income for indie bookstores. Please don’t promote their sales; please promote your local indie this week.

last friday my nsf career award to study when and why different forms of racial discrimination are likely to occur was terminated. I’m incredibly crushed and sad and stressed out and also angry. what I don’t feel is any sense of resignation. we’ll find ways to get the research done.

Georgetown scholar Dr. Khan Suri, who was abducted by ICE, was refused food/water to break Ramadan fast, housed in a room without a bed, and issued *used* underwear.

His child cried for days after he was taken and has since stopped speaking.

ccrjustice.org/home/press-c...
In just four days, Dr. Khan Suri was transferred among five different ICE facilities across three states, despite the fact that ICE records indicate there were beds in Virginia facilities. Dr. Khan Suri was fasting in religious observance of Ramadan, but multiple ICE facilities refused him food or water to break his fast.

For almost two weeks, he was housed in a room without a bed and with a television blaring 21 hours a day. Dr. Khan Suri was issued used underwear, and a bright red uniform that is usually reserved for detained individuals who have been classified as ‘high security’ based on their criminal history or alleged affiliation with criminal organizations. He is not permitted to work or spend more than two hours per week outside of his dorm.
