If you or anyone you know has had your research impacted by federal funding cuts and are willing to privately share your story, please DM me.

Sage is hosting a 90-min paid, closed roundtable with a small group of researchers. Spaces are limited.

PLEASE PASS ALONG 🙏🏻

Where do academic librarians get industry news?

The survey results from a quick survey I did last year with the support of @chashub.bsky.social are here: www.charleston-hub.com/2025/07/wher...

To librarians who have thoughts in support of or opposition to what I found, would love to hear more!

New macro-empirical research finds that every dollar invested in non-defense public R&D yields $1.40–$2.10 in economic output, and since World War II, government funding has driven roughly 20% of U.S. productivity.

"The social sciences...are vital for individual problem-solving and decision-making and informed policymaking."

Supporting social science supports critical thinking (which students so badly need!) and @sagepub.com is invested heavily in both.

We all know that the National Academies don't wade into politics (say what you want - that is a good thing).

But it's refreshing to see Marcia McNutt acknowledge that the current political environment makes science vulnerable and share what they are doing about it.

As a social science advocate, this is devastating - Minerva has been an exemplar for other agencies wanting to write effective policy for years.

As a human and a mother who wants the world to be a safer place, this is terrifying.

Kai Kupferschmidt @kakape.bsky.social · Mar 2

NEW: The Minerva Research Initiative, established by the Pentagon to fund social science relevant to national security, is being gutted. Dozens of researchers studying threats from extremist groups, misinformation or climate change have received notices that their grants are being terminated.

Looking more at the astonishing Sage Policy Profiles. For each research paper it gives links to all the policy documents that quote it along with the page where quoted. Makes it so much easier to show what work is policy relevant.
