We hit our initial goal of $25k to lock in 10 of these clinics for communities that need us most and now our final push is for $100k. Each one costs at a minimum $2,500 in supplies and medical resources. They directly impact hundreds. Donate below ❤️‍🩹

For 41 weeks now, I’ve been sitting down every Friday night to chronicle the damage this administration is doing to science & higher ed.

We must stay focused. We’re in this for the long haul. We are finding ways not just to block them, but build something better.

Gap-spotting, problematization, finding a niche: How can researchers develop their contribution to the literature? www.raulpacheco.org/2025/06/gap-...

There is (justified) pushback against the gap-spotting approach. In this post I argue for "searching for a space to contribute".

This one explores the looming peer review crisis. As many of you know, it's becoming significantly more difficult for journal editors to find scholars willing to serve as peer reviewers for submitted manuscripts.
Will anyone review this paper? Screening, sorting, and the feedback cycles that imperil peer review
Scholarly publishing relies on peer review to identify the best science. Yet finding willing and qualified reviewers to evaluate manuscripts has become an increasingly challenging task, possibly even ...

A heat wave in 2021 killed 19 people in Spokane, Washington. The city was awarded $19.9M by the EPA to prepare for future heat waves, but the grant was abruptly terminated.

Now Spokane and 350 other communities are left scrambling to adapt to #climatechange. theconversation.com/my-city-was-...
My city was one of hundreds expecting federal funds to help manage rising heat wave risk – then EPA terminated the grants
The administration said the grants were ‘no longer consistent with EPA funding priorities.’ Spokane, which has faced deadly heat waves in eastern Washington, shows who is at risk.
