The Birmingham site for @standupforscience.bsky.social has a great line up planned with representatives from the medical field as well as researchers in immunology, neurology, and epidemiology. We will also feature community members who have directly benefited from NIH research discoveries.

@500womensci.bsky.social has shared these stats on how much Alabama benefits from two federal agencies. These funds mean employment and economic growth in addition to scientific innovations.

One more, because I'm proud of our work and this EO is stupid. We have an awesome lab where students use UV sensitive beads to learn about the shielding that allows us to safely use nuclear reactors in submarines.

In our terminated grant, our team created virtual reality games where kids could learn about AAG, SONAR technology, and load planning.

Alright. Officially had a grant terminated bc of DEI. Our team was developing science labs to get more high school students interested in pursuing a STEM career in the Navy. #subversive

Department of Education had a big spike last week. Didn't seem to be a regular occurance and data looks plausible. Any ideas why?

We had another article published over the break (TY editorial teams for proofs ON Christmas. 😀) Methodologically, this is Kaiwen's work, but I'm excited about the new opportunities in eye tracking data for understanding cognitive test item engagement.

My colleagues and I have published a new OPEN ACCESS piece on identifying sources of difficulty for cognitive test items. If you develop tests or care about item quality, you'll be interested
