Saw these babies on campus yesterday 🐣 love seeing crane colts!

UGH! So sorry and hoping things turn around soon.

My book reveals the mostly hidden effects of talking *on talkers.* Talking boosts focus & learning, regulates emotions, changes perception, & more. The reason lies in how utterance planning for talking works. It's a book for gen'l audiences, but w scientific claims for production & its consequences

Fun new study by Ellie Breitfeld!

Why isn’t the leadership of the National Academies of Science SAYING ANYTHING to protect science from being dismantled? Dick Aslin writes about the 1900+ scientists who spoke out —without their leadership. 🧪🧬🔬

Grateful to the members of the National Academy of Sciences for standing up! www.nytimes.com/2025/03/31/s...

In this interview Schumer says he agrees with Trump’s decision to pull $400 million from Columbia. A university in his own state. And he’s unconcerned about the unlawful arrest of Mahmoud Khalil, one of his constituents.

He is a traitor who needs to resign.

Exciting! The NYTimes snacking cake recipes are my go-tos (made one today) - fun to find more.

It seems relevant to reshare our info piece, given what just happened to IES. It’s now gonna become even easier for snake oil salesmen to peddle their junk to parents, teachers, and schools. www.the74million.org/article/with...

In three weeks, Wisconsin will have an election for its Supreme Court. I understand a lot of you don't think fair elections will ever happen again, but this one is happening and it is extremely winnable for Democrats.

Last year, I was overjoyed to receive an NIH NRSA fellowship to study toddler brains and caregiving effects on memory at Columbia. Last night, my grant was terminated.

I'm just a small-town professor. I'll never be a provost or chancellor. But here's some free advice: we're about to hold the most watched college sports event in 🇺🇸. Every college president should be all over TV, at every game, explaining why the March Madness of federal budget cuts is a huge crisis.

The National Academies remained silent about the destruction of American science. They did nothing for the scientists comprising their membership

They calculated that they would be spared if they didn't make themselves a target.

They will not be spared.
