ANTHRO friends: I'm a cultural anthro teaching a 4-field class for the first time, what are your favorite films/videos for teaching human evolution? I always enjoy the NatGeo ones I watched in undergrad but I fear something from early 2000s may be out of date on the science? #anthropology #anthrosky

I’ve said this before but it bears repeating: the State University of New York is the largest employer in New York state. The impact of Trump/Musk/Project 2025 anti-science, anti-education agenda will be devastating for New York & beyond.
Research universities are often the largest employers in their region. They are often the primary health care providers to communities. This funding shift will not only reduce US research leadership, it will put working people out of work and reduce healthcare access.
Excellent 🧵 on this evening's NIH announcement of a dramatic reduction in indirect rates for research institutions, which amounts to a generational restructuring of the US research and development ecosystem. These cuts are effective immediately, not just for new grants but for existing ones.

I must not be wording this right. Lemme try again.
There is only one (1) office (not even an institute) at the NIH dedicated to women’s health research. That office is now being dismantled, with only a bland landing page remaining on their website. This is a five-alarm fire!

No, I do not think we should use gAI to build literature reviews, and we definitely shouldn't be teaching faculty how to do this, this is not just some fancy new search engine, what on earth is wrong with you and why are you doing this ffs
