Biological anthropologist. Demographer. Human behavioral ecologist. I study reproductive outcomes, parental care, contraceptive usage, low fertility, age at first birth, paternity confidence, and other arcane subjects.
That is a great idea. Going to put something similar in my spring syllabi.

1. Historically, eugenics was not a pseudoscience. It was *science* Almost every scientist, social scientist, academic, etc. believed in the validity of eugenics. You would have to search far & wide to find a scientist that didn't believe in some form of it. They taught it in college!

Thanks for writing this. I hope it will wake some people up.

Has the NSF made any announcement about this? Was this just done quietly over a holiday break? Did they think no would notice?

I feel so bad for students who were counting on these grants to finish their degrees and get their careers started.

Just checked and the sociology dissertation improvement grants are archived as well. Did they shut down the entire mechanism, for all disciplines? Or just the social sciences? Does anyone know how widespread this is?

This is devastating, for so many students and for the discipline as a whole.

My wife and daughter have both been asking for updates about Charlie so I’m pleased to have something to show them.

Looks like Charlie has taken a shine to him.

But are you sure he’s not actually a fox?

Wait, you have two dogs now? Charlie has a sibling?

Just got mine this afternoon! Arm's a little tender but so far that's it.
