Experimentology is out today!!! A group of us wrote a free online textbook for experimental methods, available at experimentology.io - the idea was to integrate open science into all aspects of the experimental workflow from planning to design, analysis, and writing.

Sie war eine deutsche Lyrikerin, Pädagogin, Logopädin und Aktivistin. Ihr Buch "Farbe bekennen" trug maßgeblich zur Verbreitung der Selbstbezeichnung "afrodeutsch" bei und gilt als Grundlagenwerk zu Schwarzen Deutschen.

Can confirm that my NSF grant "How False Beliefs Form & How to Correct Them" was cancelled today because it is "not in alignment with current NSF priorities" Shocking that understanding how people are misled by false information is now a forbidden topic. Our work will continue but at a smaller scale
NSF has posted an “update on priorities.”

They’re canceling all “DEI and misinformation/disinformation” grants.

And the guidance on how to fulfill the longstanding, legally mandated Broadening Participation requirement is utterly incoherent.
