Our EEPA paper on the media's role in shaping our understanding of student loans, race, and racism is here! Email me if you don't have access & want a copy.

One of my fav papers for a few reasons but, most of all, it's my first paper with my husband 😍

A basic red line for defending academic freedom would be not turning over faculty data because they signed an open letter.
The University of California is actively cooperating with the government witch hunt against some 850 faculty members.

The Trump administration is hoping that faculty steps back in fear. But we will rise together in solidarity—it is the only way. On April 3rd at 6pm CT/7pm ET, join our Emergency Town Hall and fight for academic freedom.

an extremely long tweet from the President of Colombia roasting the United States and the Trump administration. "the US sucks except for Black people, Walt Whitman, Paul Simon, and Noam Chomsky" is just the beginning of what we in the business call a rich text

Not just the National Institutes of Health, now the National Science Foundation is put on pause.
Reminder: research is a multi-step process. Pausing the peer review panels by itself creates months of delay.
I’m an NSF panel reviewer that was scheduled to meet today. Just got notice that all NSF panels were canceled today. I reviewed some innovative proposals in support of students. Devastating if these scholars don’t get to do this work. For the love of science & students I hope this is just a delay.💔

I’m coding some student protests and am so inspired by Black student activists from UNC in 2015. I love that their vision for tuition-free college included “financial aid that is loan-free and labor-free.”
